When you connect to our IRC server, you will get portscanned from 63.245.208.159, 63.245.212.23, or 63.245.216.214. This is an unfortunate but necessary step in order to cut down on the number of viruses and other malicious users attempting to communicate via our IRC servers. The portscan is checking for common ports used by known viruses and open proxy servers to ensure that your machine is not infected before allowing you to remain connected. By connecting to our IRC servers, you agree to have your computer portscanned by our server. If you don't like this, don't connect. | |||
If your IRC client supports SSL, you can connect to irc.mozilla.org on port 6697 with SSL enabled. | |||
