Can't connect to IRC Freenode from Taiwan (Colloquy)

I'm studying Mandarin in Taiwan for 6 weeks and do web dev on the side. For some reason I can't connect to Freenode IRC with my Colloquy app. What's going on and how can I connect?

I don't see any logs of any kind an no errors either...

UPDATE: I think the ports are blocked on my router (6667). Can anyone recommend an alteative port? I tried port 22 and the log reads:

Debian-5+deb8u2
Protocol mismatch.
