I am trying to connect to irc.mozilla.org and freenode and I am getting the following messages on weechat IRC client.

It said connect reset. If it were refused I probably think it is blocked. But it's being reset after connected, what's going on? Packet filtering?

How do I test whether or not my school is blocking IRC client from connecting to an IRC server? I am a Linux (Ubuntu) user.

  • You could consider using a bouncer, or better yet, a remote shell with weechat/irssi running inside tmux/screen.
