i tried to connect to irc and got this msg "You are banned from this server- You have a host listed in the EFNet RBL"
is there a way to fix this without having to use a proxy ?

@bluedog.tar.gz may help you Since he is the admin in IRC.

The EFnet IRC Network RBL is comprised of a collection of data from several sources with the purpose of providing a "one stop shop" for IRC admins to block a multitude of undesirable clients.

The collected sources are as follows:

• Scanned open proxies by the EFnet Open Proxy Monitors
  
• Spamtrap hosts with scores of 666 (known self spreading virii and trojans)
  
• Spamtrap hosts with scores of 50 or more (virii and trojans known to self-spread)
  
• Scanned TOR exit node proxies
  
• Other unsavory types, manually added by trusted admins (don't use this if you don't trust us), or automatically added by drone detection patterns
  

In other words, use your own network connection (I assume your own network isn't marked as the bullet points above)

The IRC stuff is separate to HC - We just host a channel (room) on someone elses network. You should really be contacting FreeNode for connection issues to their network.
