Users who IRC from behind a firewall or NAT device may find it useful to have the bot initiate DCC requests so that they do not have to open or forward TCP ports in their network hardware. To make OOMon initiate a DCC request, issue a CTCP CHAT command as follows: /ctcp chat Note that the same rules apply in this scenario. If OPER_ONLY_DCC is enabled, your userhost must match one of the masks listed an O: line in the config file. If no matching masks are found, OOMon will ignore your CTCP command.
