Pidgin Proxy servers

[Tres Finocchiaro]

Leon,

Do you have any setup instructions?  If they're simply doing a "man in the
middle" with your instant messages, you may just have to adjust your
connection properties to point to their servers.  This is configurable in
Pidgin under the "Advanced" tab for each protocol.
