>Many IRC clients leak identifying information to servers or other clients, so I2Ps IRC and SOCKS IRC client tunnels filter certain inbound and outbound messages to scrub data such as LAN IP addresses, external IP addresses, local hostnames, and the name and version of the IRC client. Two message types in particular, DCC and CTCP, cant be sufficiently anonymized without changes to the protocols or to IRC client/server code, so they are completely blocked, except for CTCP ACTION (the message emitted by the <code
>/me</code
> command) which isnt inherently dangerous.</p
><p
>I2Ps IRC filtering may not cover every possible leak — users should also check if their client is sending their real name or local username. Packet sniffers such as <a href="http://www.wireshark.org/"
>Wireshark</a
> are useful here. Eliminating remaining leaks may be as simple as changing the clients default configuration. If that doesnt help, inform the I2P developers; they may be able to solve it via additional filtering.</p
