Ryujin, I seem to recall getting AIM to work. I'm at home now, but when I get back to school next week I'll let you know what protocols work. Have you had any success using any applications besides Kopete with socks? Does Konqueror work? My /etc/dante.conf (/etc/socks.conf on most systems) looks like this: route { from: 0.0.0.0/0 to: 0.0.0.0/0 via: 127.0.0.1 port = 1080 proxyprotocol: socks_v4 } Basically route everything through the proxy. The socks server is on localhost because I'm using SSH's socks proxy option as a poor mans VPN, like so: ssh -N -D 1080 user@host but you should be able to replace 127.0.0.1 with your socks server's IP. Hope that helps and I'll write back when I return to school and can run some tests. Topher Cyll éç wrote: > Dear Cyll, > > Are you able to use Kopete with the socks proxy??
