Hey Fris, is IRC pretty safe nowadays coming in from behind firewalled router with win firewall enabled? I remember years ago using dialup from win95/98 people could very easily get on your machine and wipe out whole HDD at ease. Would my main workstation be safe? - I would not want to loose any work related stuff due to some script kiddie penetrating my connection OR would you reccomend to use secondary non important computer just to be on a safe side? What's your take on this?
Also, is there anyway to spoof hostmask/ip address there without getting on TOR? I used freenode's web access and my IP was showing up as part of hostmask - I didn't feel comfortable with that.
