fratboy Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Does anyone use VPNs? I have a problem connecting to mIRC while VPN is running, is that a permissions issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 I believe as part of the irc security certain VPN's/proxies are blocked could be the issue. What VPN do you use? That way when an admin replies they'll be able to check for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaitan Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Copy the STATUS window lines and paste them. I see no bans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fratboy Posted June 14, 2019 Author Share Posted June 14, 2019 (edited) * Disconnected - * Connect retry #1 irc.rencorner.co (6667) - * Unable to connect to server (Connection timed out) - * Connect retry #2 irc.rencorner.co (6667) (dns pool) - * Unable to connect to server (Connection timed out) - * Connect retry #3 irc.rencorner.co (6667) - * Unable to connect to server (Connection timed out) It connects immediately if I turn off VPN Edited August 29, 2023 by nameismud QA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fratboy Posted June 14, 2019 Author Share Posted June 14, 2019 well, I founds a way to exclude mIRC from using the VPN, so I can run both . Not ideal, but it works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaitan Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 (edited) That 'dns pool' isn't a ban. Try connecting to one of the direct IPs: /server 208.115.205.106 /server 144.217.10.189 Also, in the Status window, see if /dns irc.rencorner.co shows one of the Ips or something else(when the vpn is running for it). If you start it up, you can possibly get an idea of what's wrong by doing /debug @debug before connecting. It'll do a popup channel with some info.

fratboy Posted June 15, 2019 Author Share Posted June 15, 2019 (edited) [20:11:58] * Connecting to 208.115.205.106 (6667) - [20:11:58] * Unable to resolve server - [20:12:01] * Connect retry #1 208.115.205.106 (6667) - [20:12:01] * Unable to resolve server - [20:12:04] * Connect cancelled - [20:12:18] * Dns resolving irc.rencorner.co - [20:12:18] * Dns resolved irc.rencorner.co to 208.115.205.106 got the debug window open to, it's just blank? Also, I had to remove mIRC from the exclude list in the VPN to try this. It broke my cracked mIRC, wouldn't let me use it without registering (had to reinstall). Weird stuff Edited August 29, 2023 by nameismud QA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tesla Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Do you have it set to automatically authenticate when connecting? And is your "NickServ" account same as your nickname? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
