I think I'll keep it up, just having a firewall seems important. Plus I read that you need it with memcached, but I don't think that's something I'll need, even for a long time.
I still have problems connecting. I added the line, but I can't connect. I'm using Jabbretro, which was a free client I found in the the Apple Store. I set the domain in the configuration file to irc.sturmkrieg.com and I set an A record to that domain and the IP address of the server. Is it just a bad client or something?

I also tried Limechat, which seems better and it's still not working.

What IP address should it be listening on?

I think I might have had a problem with updating the firewall after I saved the file. Is there anything I need to do after saving the file?

That effectively blocks any connection which isn't already established when you set that rule, meaning new connections can't come in.

Alternatively, you could keep the stat and use NEW,ESTABLISHED,RELATED , however it's easier just to exclude them.
