Greetings!
I've been browsing the IP-Masq and IPChains How-tos but I've not come
across experiences with people attempting to prevent DCC connections. I've
only seen posts where people have troubled DCC connections.
I currently help administer a small network of about 40 clients, mostly
running Windows. Currently, the masq server has blocked all known IRC ports
because of bandwidth issues we have to resolve -- the clients in the network
use IRC DCC'ing for relatively speedy transfers of MP3 files and other
pirated software.
However, our blocking of IRC ports means there is no IRC chatting all
throughout -- which affects those who do not initiate DCC sessions. As such,
how is it possible to set up IPMasq/IPChains to allow IRC connections BUT
prevent any DCC connections? What does the ip_masq_irc module do exactly? If
this module is not loaded, will I be able to achieve IRC without DCCs?
Any answer would be appreciated. Thank you.
