Recently I haven't been able to connect to irc.frenode.net using Colloquy because I keep getting a message telling me that I have an 'open proxy' and that this could be manipulated by spammers - further information from following links in the automated warning tell me that this is because my net connection is shared from another computer (which it is).

Any ideas on how to get round this, or secure the proxy somehow? It has never shown these warnings before
