  I'm using my uni's connection and I can't get on irc. It lets me log onto cgi irc so I thought it was the port but I guess i did not think about the fact that cgi could have used a diff port. Either way. Does anyone know of a way to get around this? Maybe a proxy or something?

  so I feel I stay on the 1% side. I bet the same is true for the majority of you, since you are reading Fravia's pages. If not, carry on and study some more essays, you will surely change your status.

  Most irc's run a proxy detector so that probably will not help you. I would guess either the port or the ip is being blcoked. Have you tried runing a java based client that runs on the server instead of your pc? That way you would use the web port to get to the server, and then the server would connect to the irc.

  So if I use a java client to connect via the web. I can connect to the server using the irc client to connect normally or to the java one somehow?

    Between your pc and the web server you use the normal web port (80). Then the server makes the connection to the irc server, thus avoiding the filtering.

  All of the different ways,CGI httunnel BNC etc ,are variations of  "port forwarding"

  <>I know one guy at a uni who connects to his home machine on port 80 < which is permitted by the school > then his home mahine relays to irc on the normal irc ports.
