The firewall command is used to set how mIRC accesses the internet. It can be set to use a SOCKS4, SOCKS5, or Proxy server. It is beyond the scope of the script wiki to explain these protocols.

firewall [-cmN[+|-]d] [on|off]

* With no parameters, firewall displays the current status/settings of the firewall.
* -c will clear the user and password fields for the current firewall settings.
* -m is used to specify connection type
** -m4 specifies SOCKS4
** -m5 specifies SOCKS5
** -mp specifies Proxy
* +d specifies that DCCs are to use the firewall settings (Thus making them indirect).
* -d specifies that DCCs are '''not''' to use the firewall settings (They will remain direct connections).
* [on|off] specifies whether or not to use the firewall settings. If not, a direct connection will be made.

firewall <address> <port> [user] [pass]

This command is used to change the firewall settings

'''Note: All flags previously shown can be used here, before <address>. If the firewall is off, changing the settings will not enable it, you will need to specify "on" on before the settings. '''

* Address is the host/ip of the computer to connect through.
* Port is the port of the computer to connect through.
* User and Pass are optional, and are only needed if the server you are trying to connect through requires it for authentication

==Examples==
firewall
* Lists firewall settings.

firewall -m5+d on my.socks5.server 4078
* Connects through a SOCKS5 server on "my.socks5.server", port 4078, with no authentication. Uses this server for DCC as well.

firewall -mp-d on my.proxy.server 4078 user pass
* Connects through a Proxy server on "my.socks5.server", port 4078, authenticates with user/pass. Does not use this server for DCC.

firewall off
* Disables firewall settings, creating direct connections.

firewall on
* Enables the firewall using the previously saved settings.
