weechat (v4.0.0+)
Relevant Release Note: https://weechat.org/files/doc/weechat/ReleaseNotes-4.0.0.html#v4.0.0_tls

Relay setup

On the server's instance of weechat:
    /relay add tls.irc 8001
    /secure set relay WHATEVER_PASSWORD
    /set relay.network.password "${sec.data.relay}"
    
On the server, to generate the SSL/TLS certificate:
    mkdir -p ~/.weechat/ssl
    cd ~/.weechat/ssl
    openssl req -nodes -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout relay.pem -x509 -days 365 -out relay.pem

On the client's instance of weechat:
    /secure set relay WHATEVER_PASSWORD (same as on the server)
    /server add libera.chat 192.168.1.71/8001 -autoconnect
    /set irc.server.libera.chat.password "libera.chat:${sec.data.relay}"
                                          └─────────┘ Corresponding to an IRC server name
                                                      configured on the server's instance
    /set irc.server_default.capabilities "server-time"

Thank you so, so much for this!

Gah! Thankyou a lot.

btw for newer weechat versions instead of /relay add ssl.irc 8001 use /relay add tls.irc 8001
