Connecting to proxy's (firewall)

rav · Post by **rav** » Fri Oct 19, 2001 4:55 am

my bot pings out after connecting to a proxy. here is the ouput.

[02:53] Trying server geneva.ch.eu.undernet.org:6667
[02:53] Connected to geneva.ch.eu.undernet.org
[02:53] -NOTICE- *** Looking up your hostname
[02:53] -NOTICE- *** Checking Ident
[02:53] -NOTICE- *** Found your hostname
[02:53] -NOTICE- *** No ident response
[02:54] -ERROR from server- Closing Link: by Geneva.CH.EU.Undernet.org (Ping timeout)

i have tried other proxys and every undernet server there is with no luck.

thanks in advance

Proxy support has be flaky for years.

Use a v-host and stop using the proxy, it's a lot fatser, and more stable.

indeed.. but i could modify the source myself if i knew where in the source it looks for a "PING :2345245???". i know the net.c controls most of this. and if it's been flakey for years and i just happen to get it working good.. it will be not-so flakey

thanks

Well, to be honest, I don't know where the code is. The network functions is the only stuff I havn't touched.

Look in the server.mod directory. I am sure it was bound using RAW binds in there.

found the code i was looking for! i added 2 lines and changed 1 (in various sections) and got it to work! it is linked on my botnet and sharing userfiles! damn this is nice.

thanks

May we know what lines you changed, so that they be considered as a bug fix?

rav · Post by **rav** » Fri Oct 19, 2001 2:26 pm

i would really be scared to post that here.. or even have it "fixed". reason being is that now i can connect to ANY 1080 proxy (1080 is the only one that works right now). 3128 proxys *may* work. these, as you know, are a dime a dozen. i am only afraid that some lame kiddie will load 100 eggs and use some evil tcl for very bad things

but, if you feel this actually should be included, i will gladly tell you how i did it.. just not here. i hang in #w00t on undernet. my nick is ravenous.

do you know any ircnet proxies? (ips)

There are many sites on the net that provide that sort of information gregul.

As for the changes you made, like it would stop a packet kiddy anyway.

Soon (beleive it or not), eggdrop will have better proxy support (if memory serves me corectly). When I say soon, I mean when the total re-write (as good as) that is underway is completed.
