Xchat Fails - No more connections permitted from your host

Connected. Now logging in…

  • *** Looking up your hostname…
  • *** Checking Ident
  • *** Found your hostname
  • *** No Ident response
  • Closing Link: ************* (No more connections permitted from your host)
  • Disconnected (Remote host closed socket).

What can I do to get around this or switch hosts?

It means that the IRC network is banning Tor users.

Only options: See if that IRC network provides a solution for Tor users, switch the IRC network or use a user -> Tor -> ssh/vpn/proxy for circumvention.
