Minichan

Topic: I haven't been able to IRC for around a week now.

Methlove !KansasxqvM started this discussion 11 years ago #38,994

Externally hosted imageError Connecting (DNSBL blocked) or some shit. I tried using a bouncer (jbouncer), but I couldn't find any working proxies. It doesn't help that I have no experience with proxies and little experience with IRC, I've never really been banned from anywhere or had any reason to hide behind a proxy.

I wanted to stop in and say Merry Christmas and such, but I guess I cannot. The life is misery.

The IRC we use is ran by Freenode, so first of all this does not mean this is any of our doing or under my control. Going around using random bouncers like that also does not really seem like a good idea. The DNSBL mention means that your IP address is listed within a blacklist, for whatever reason. This usually means that your IP address has been detected to be malicious in one way or another. I recommend checking http://www.dnsbl.info/ and checking the removal criteria.

We've missed you. I was about to start a topic asking where you were.

> CBL Removal

> Removal of the IP address REDACTED from the CBL is now pending.

> This means that your removal request has been accepted and your IP address WILL be delisted as soon as possible.

> The CBL lookup page will already show that the IP address has been removed, but it takes a little longer for mail servers to notice the removal.

> It should take no more than an hour or two before all servers that use the CBL notice the removal. Do not contact us to try to speed up removal - it's not possible to speed it up any more than it already is. Please be patient

Sounds promising. Thanks r04r! It seems some computer on this network has possibly been infected with "Online Gameover Zeus", not a lot I can do about that all I can do is hope it was a mistake and doesn't happen again.

Great, and yeah could be. Also could be it's a residential ip address that has been recycled, and it wasn't your home network that used it at the time of the detection.

weird shit goes down with the chan's in general, i cant post on tinychan, it says that i am banned but what in reality happened is someone happened to use my connection as a proxy, and THAT got banned, scatchan doesn't let me post at all (cookies failure even though i have cookies enabled) minichan is the only one that works for me at all

PM me and I can pass along email addy for proxies that will work for Kansas.
Sharing in open here makes them useless shortly after.

The fuck? The bouncer is authenticated and will only work for people whom I give an account. Additionally, if I wanted to contact someone privately on this forum then I would just PM them. I run this place and can do that, y'know.
