ITS blocked IRC ports last year in an attempt to stop viruses from spreading across the virtual lans between dorms. The blocks didn’t even slow that specific virus down but they continued the block anyway.
They aren’t going to open port 8080 because that would let people host websites from dorms. Port 7000 is the only option unless they are willing to unrestrict traffic to Gamesurge.
We may want to look at an off campus proxy or see if ITS can configure a port forwarding service for IRC use. Perhaps forward something crazy like port 32438 to outbound 6668.
It’s working right now?
