Does anyone know of an IRC client that's not blocked by a firewall? Or is it possible to use irc via my apache account?
you could tunnel through ssh (I guess ssh gets through your firwall)
Yes. How does it work? Can you please expand a little bit?
you first need to reset the domain resolving for "freenode" for instance:
On Linux:
# su # vi /etc/hosts
Add the following line: 127.0.0.1 irc.freenode.org
then you can create the tunnel by ssh -l carsten -L 6667:irc.freenode.org:6667 www.apache.org
(well, you might need to replace the username and hostname)
and then you should be able to use "chatZilla" for instance just as you would be using it without a firewall.
