Enable anti-spoof protection on FreeBSD?

[logan]

Hi,

I want to run UnrealIRCd on FreeBSD. Is there any sense in compiling anti-spoof protection into my daemon or is this only necessary on less advanced operation systems like Windows?

Greetings

If you're referring to the first question in ./Config then it's up to you, but bear in mind, if you say yes, HTTP POST proxies cant be used, if you say no they can.

Nospoof does not protect against HTTP proxies. If you want something that will take care of proxies, you will need a BOPM or something similar

It is much harder to spoof a host connecting to a *nix system than it is a Windows system. It can still be done, but it isn't as common.

not necessary to enable (unless it's a really old fbsd), the only advantage is what Jobe1986 said (protection against HTTP POST proxies, not to be confused with HTTP CONNECT proxies), it's up to you... personally I'd probably not enable it, though nowadays it's not that annoying anymore now that plz to do /quote pong msg is gone
