Which IRC client is best for busting through corparate firewall proxy thingies. Laz told me one, but I forgot to make a note.

 

[Testin da Cable]

if browsing the web is allowed, you might consider a web-based client. iow a java applet on the web somwhere that acts as an irc proggy. I allowed friends to use an irc-cgi gateway on my webby for that very purpose. beats having to install software and all that

CGI:IRC seems to get through our one at work. This is the one laz uses as well.

 

[Wilier]

K, got that, now how the hell do I install it?

 

[Testin da Cable]

aha, that's the trick. iirc it has to run on someone's webserver and you connect to it with your regular browser. what you see is a form [or something like it] that gets updated in a constant data stream. it looks very much like your average irc client and can do just about everything your average client can.

 

[Wilier]

erm, ookkkkaayy. PM git

How is your work's firewall setup? You might be ablet to get onto quakenet through b0rk's more unusual ports...

 

[Wilier]

i have no idea how its set up, Yahoo IM works through it though.

 

[jis]

The work machines use the RM filter to block out offensive words and all other shit they dont want you to see. CGI:IRC is just a cgi script and is able to connect no problem. There is no blocking of cgi at my work as far as I know.

A good cgi:irc site is this one

the only one i can get working that isnt blocked in some way :/

 

[Wilier]

[Testin da Cable]
