I learned that Terminology for this on different implemetions suck,
one call it Deny/Reject, others call it Drop/Deny, so you have to be
careful about which terms you use.

On Ports 80, 1080, 8080, 3128, 113 Packets shouldnt be simply dropped
(i.e. just thrown away), but instead rejected (sending Port Unreach or 
Packet with Ack/Fin to the ircd Machine) - if no service is running
on that port.
