Open Proxy/Relay Scanning Alert

EsperNet operates automated open proxy and open relay scanning software to prevent abuse of our network. In some instances, this scanning software may trigger firewall warning alerts for our users as they try to connect. These scans originate from each IRC server host individually and are harmless. We recommend ignoring any alerts you might receive from our scans and/or whitelisting our IRC servers in your firewall software to prevent these alerts entirely. We regret any inconvenience this might cause. Thank you for your understanding.
