[[!meta title="Chatting with Pidgin and OTR"]]

<p>You can already try using <i>Dino</i> in Tails. See our
documentation on [[chatting with <i>Dino</i> and OMEMO|doc/advanced_topics/dino]].</p>

<div class="caution">

<p>OTR is deactivated by default, and your conversations are
not private.</p>

<div class="tip">

<p>In a private OTR conversation over IRC, a message sent using the
<code>/me</code> command is not encrypted. The person receiving
the message is notified by a warning.</p>

Some IRC servers block connections from Tor because Tor is sometimes used to send spam.
