You can use a wingate with IRC pretend that you are from some other place. You can also use this in case you have been banned from an IRC server. In order to configure your IRC client to use with Wingate, siply tell your IRC client that you're behind a SOCKS4 or SOCKS5 (again, depending on the Wingate. Try both and see which one of them work) and enter the Wingate's IP. If you are asked for a username and a password, leave these fields blank. Since, there are so many clients out there so I would not explain each and every client. I would only explain configuration mIRC (you can get it from http://mirc.co.uk). So, to conigure mIRC to use with Wingate just follow the following steps:
Click at File > Options.
Now click at Firewall option on the left side of the box.
This will represent you with the firewall setings.
Now, Check both the options "Server" as well "DCC" where it is written enable firewall support for:
Now in the protocol section select anyone Socks4 or Socks5 depending on the wingate.
Now feed the IP address of the wingate in the field "Hostname" and fill UserID and Password if any else leave it blank.
Now, give the port of the Wingate at the place of Port:
Click Ok and everything is done!
In order to configure Wingate with any other IRC client see its help file and explore your client your self.
