Connection error on EFNet

[LuffarJoh]

I cannot connect to EFNet. I tried 5-7 serverts before I finially found one that I got in. The other said that my host was banned. After 10 min connected I got banned because of an open proxy. Then i tried to connect top another server and recevied this:

[22:47] Connected to irc.easynews.com

open proxy, please fix your machines security.

[22:47] -ERROR from server- Closing Link: 127.0.0.1 (*** Banned )

is there something that can be done about it?

Unfortunately, unless we know which ports it detected the open proxy on its difficult to establish the problem. Their "lookup" page leaves a lot to be desired too

yeah, mabye we can try to ask an ircop if he can see wich ports it detects. I will try to contact somebody

edit:
that went quick.
