Firstly, you're not actually allowed to use freenode like that, technically it's supposed to be for open source projects right?

Secondly, I wouldn't run a server application like that on a publicly accessible server without learning pretty thoroughly about how to configure it securely, ymmv obviously but I just wouldn't do it.

Thirdly, there are a bunch of web configuration options that allow non-technical folks to login and do a bunch of stuff. If my client were paying me to do that for them they'd blow their Grove.io budget by an order of magnitude or two each month.



So don't use Freenode. EFNet has had invisible, keyed channels since forever.
