            <description>DNS Block Listing (DNSBL)

What is it?

There are a lot of viruses, trojans, and mis-configured computers on the Internet these days. Attackers use them to get to AfterNET for spamming, flooding, and evading bans. Because of this, AfterNET implements RBL, or Realtime Black List checking, and requires users from suspicious IP&#039;s to login before using AfterNET.</description>

            <description>IPv6 on AfterNET

You can reach IPv6-enabled AfterNET servers by connecting to irc.afternet.org. This hostname has both A and AAAA records.
