The default settings for XChat are to automatically connect to your favorite channels and then to identify with NickServ. For users attempting protection using IP masking via a cloak this creates an issue, If your IRC client identifies after the favorite channels connect then your IP is displayed to all of your favorite channels prior to the cloak being applied, Nullifying the effect of the cloak.
