Restrict all clients except CGI:IRC

[Spectator]

Hello,

What I want to do is bock users from joining all clients except the ones that join from web using CGI:IRC. But I also want to allow the staff to join via mIRC or other clients.
Is it possible to do this? Is yes, then please guide me how?

Thank you.

Simple, 2 options:
1) use passworded allow blocks, and configure your CGI:IRC to A) use the webirc method (and a cgiirc block) and B) supply the correct password upon connecting
or 2) use non-standard port numbers that the general public wont know

or 2) use non-standard port numbers that the general public wont know

They can still find out the ports using any port scanner. That's the main problem sir.

Port scanners can't detect passwords and CGI::IRC can be configured to send a password upon connect directly from the webclient so the user doesn't need to know the password. Both issues are easily solved with allow blocks. Thus making Jobe's option #1 your best bet.
