Proxy use with mIRC

it depends also which servers you go to most of the irc servers have proxy scanners for the most commonly used ports and boot you once you connect the trick is to find proxys with uncommon ports.

Run mIRC through sockscap with a couple of elite socks4/5; it's way easier and what I use.

You are going to need SOCKS proxies for IRC. HTTP proxies will not work. Look into http://www.proxybonanza.com

also make sure you have control of your identd server if you're running one!

well, i dont think most irc programs like mirc support socks and http proxy authentication do they? i know proxy bonanza requires your username/pass to use each proxy. best to cap the irc client with something that supports authentication like proxyfirewall.

You can ask them about IP authentication. I'm not sure if their shared plans offer it but their exclusive plans certainly do.

The easiest way is probably what B166ER has said and just run it through Proxy-Firewall.
