LetSDie · Post by **LetSDie** » Thu Aug 18, 2005 9:22 am

i am using Unreal3.2.2b with anope services and i am using eSChat Java Chat Applet for java based chat client...

i wantto close all ports for mirc connection..couse most of my users use java for chat..and only spammer connects from mirc..so i wantto close it..

but unreal doesnt accepts eschat as a java chat client when i set java only ports..

how can i do this? or is there any way to add eschat to unreal as java client?

thanks..

"java" means CR support - you can't use it for any other Java Applet.

It's almost impossible to ban other clients - simply because a port needs to stay open (for the java applet) and the other clients can use that one.

But there are some simple possibilties:

Set a password (in the allow block) and code it into the java applet. (Problem: Password can be found out.)
Use ban version blocks to deny the unwanted clients (Problem: It's almost impossible to ban every single client there is plus clients not sending a VERSION will not be banned)
Use another port (That's probably the worst way and won't help at much)

There are also other ways, but there's really no way to block other clients completly.
If you really need that, you should probably not use IRC.

why not use spamfilters to clean out the spammers?

filter based on patterns in the nick, not the actual spam.

if you want to ban mirc specifly this will do it:

Code: Select all

ban version {
	mask "*mirc*";
	reason "i hate mirc users";
	action gline;
};

it is not possible (without a hex editor) to remove or change the version reply in mirc. glining people just for using mirc may make you lose alot of users but if you only want your java client to be able to connect id make a password like was already suggested. you can of course make action gline be kill, shun or whatever else.
