so. for various purposes(okay, it's because I can't find a proxy for my browser that doesn't need replacing almost daily) I use a VPN at times. but I don't tend to need to keep it active for long, see... and I'm wondering if anyone's got ideas on how to keep mIRC from reacting to the VPN being cycled. it's a little annoying having two ghosts crop up on either server that I chat on, whenever I do this.
