In order to increase security for our users and prevent illegal
IRC activities such as spam and floods from spreading, ChatNet
runs the blitzed open proxy monitor (BOPM) service. When a client
connects to a ChatNet server, BOPM scans the client for open
proxies and determines whether they are really open by using
them to connect back to the server. Abused proxies are submitted
to a open proxies database (DNSBL) maintained by the Blitzed
IRC Network while a temporary or permanent (depending on the
BOPM configuration) K-line is added for the client's host on
the server. If you find yourself K-lined for using an open proxy,
re-configure your proxy consulting the instructions and links
provided in this page and visit the BOPM
DNS blacklist
to remove your host from the database.
