Today I'm using v6.33, windows vista through a linksys WRT310N. I've tested my system for viruses, proxy checks, and spyware - with no results. My only guess is that my router has been opened up for certain services (like webpage, ssh, ftp, and irc use [ident/dcc]). I've gotten two messages today: Quote: [17:38] * Connecting to irc.freenode.net (6667) - [17:38] Local host: HTPC (myip) - [17:38] -irc.freenode.net- * Looking up your hostname... - [17:38] -irc.freenode.net- * Checking ident - [17:38] -irc.freenode.net- * No identd (auth) response - [17:38] -irc.freenode.net- * Found your hostname - [17:38] -grisham.freenode.net- * Banned: Open Proxy found on your IP myip** Please contact proxyscan@freenode.net with questions.

ATM I've been able to de-ban my rizon connection... But I'm at a loss what else I can do to stop this crap. I've used other systems (laptop/htc and a linux nas) and operating systems (linux/windows/osx) but same.. Which is why i'm guessing is config or router. Can anybody help or suggest a link to troubleshoot this properly? Please help, Geo Last edited by freeballer; 26/02/09 09:51 PM.

This does not necessarily mean you have a virus, trojan or spyware... it means they think the person using that ip does. This might be because of the last IP owner, it also might be a false positive, or if you share the IP with the problem machine (on a university LAN for instance). Contact the server admins. This is not a router issue, and ISP's don't "proxy" IRC connections silently. - argv[0] on EFnet #mIRC - "Life is a pointer to an integer without a cast"
