OFTC is using DroneBL (and EFnet RBL) to automatically block incoming IRC connections from hosts known to be compromised. Starting last week, DroneBL is now enforced in the firewalls. Previously affected connections were rejected on the IRC level with a “This host is infected” akill message; these connections will now receive a TCP RST.
If you have trouble connecting, check DroneBL’s IP lookup form. Once the DroneBL listing is removed, you should be able to connect again. If you keep receiving an akill message, contact support@oftc.net to get that removed as well.
