OK, so I did that. Replaced irc.freenode.net with 10.40.40.40 but then I get a 
lost connection message and it still doesn't connect

I then stopped privoxy and tor, removed them from the boot service, 
reconfigured KDE to use direct internet connection and rebooted my computer. 
After login, I setup my IRC client to use the old irc.freenode.net address 
instead of 10.40.40.40 and restarted the client. But again, freenode is 
thinking I'm still using tor and refuses to give me access. This is a bit 
strange to me as neither tor nor privoxy are working at the moment. Why does 
freenode still says I'm using tor? 

Also, I went to the Tor detector ( https://check.torproject.org/ ) and 
eventhough both tor and privoxy are disabled, it still says I'm using tor, 
but it does show my original IP, not a torified one
