For these types of things, never forget about great tools such as netcat and ssh. ssh -L 6667:ircserver:6667 user@host irc localhost or, if you have full priviliges on the other host, you can also set up inetd to start netcat like this: nc ircserver 6667 then, connect to whatever port you set up in inetd, and it'll open the remote connection for you. There are, of course, dedicated irc proxies as well. Great fun.
