About the same as any other client that makes it difficult to mask your identity via open web proxies.

- mrtron 17y agoAre you claiming mIRC made it difficult to use a proxy? There has always been proxy settings available. I...know some people...that wrote scripts for mIRC that loaded thousands of bots on proxies. That was on an early Pentium with dialup too.
- ankhmoop 17y agoAre you claiming mIRC made it difficult to use a web proxy? Since IRC traffic can't be conveyed via a web proxy, yes. =) There has always been proxy settings available. I...know some people...that wrote scripts for mIRC that loaded thousands of bots on proxies. That was on an early Pentium with dialup too. Absolutely, I used to abuse WinGate TCP proxies back in the day. Those eventually disappeared, and it's now much harder to find open TCP-capable (SOCKS, etc) proxies. To seal the deal, major IRC networks perform TCP proxy detection on incoming connections to check for open proxies operating on standard ports.
