Anyone know how to check if a proxy server has irc


Recommended Posts

Do you mean check to see if the IRC server will let you connect from a proxy? Most IRC servers now check your info using identd, so bouncing off a proxy most of the time will not work.

For the life of me, I can not think of a legit reason - besides pure privacy issues of bouncing off a proxy to connect to IRC. I can think of quite a few non legit reasons you might want to, getting out to irc from inside a network that does not allow it. Hiding your true IP due to ban restrictions, etc.. etc.. Coming from a different network to be able to impersonate someone else, etc.. etc..

What exactly are you looking for - a list of proxies you can get to irc from, or a list of irc servers that you can connect without identd??

i have proxies - hundreds of em

i just need an app that checks if it has irc capabilities

GeoWhere does it, but it crashes if it tries to check 2 or more in a row (no idea why, poor coding i guess)
