Phoenix Network Forums

We are familiar with the problems. As long as there is one ip, most of the people who are using Moruroa to IRC will have problems connecting to well known IRC networks. By this I mean K-Lines, G-Lines and Autokills when trying to connect.

At the moment we can't do much about it. We have too many users who use it for IRC and no one is actually contributing. Do not create new topics concerning network bans, these will get locked and removed.

Hello,
I was wondering if a trust request for the ip could be made for quakenet.org servers. This can be done at http://www.quakenet.org/trusts/. I believe this should be an administrators decision.
Thank you.

It's easier to get an QuakeNet trust than to actually keep it. If anytime only 1 single client connection would exceed the trust, the trust would be closed probably forever. Also the first idiot flooding of QuakeNet using the trusted IP would result in a permanent removal of the trust. I personally consider it wasted time to apply a trust to QuakeNet, unless we can select who can connect to QuakeNet and everyone else can't.

And is it even possible to realize?

If you had an uptodate IP list of all quakenet servers, you could declare a deny rule in iptables and then foreach user allow rules... you could also disallow to have more than 1 connection using iptables... however you COULD, but effort beats utility.
