It's sufficient to use the defaults in the interactive prompts for M-x
erc, so:

IRC Server: irc.freenode.net
IRC port: 6667
Nickname: somerandomnick
Password:

is fine.  This should result in a plain (as opposed to TLS) connection
to freenode IRC (Home page <https://freenode.net/>) without logging in or
joining any channels.
