Currently JBuddy Messenger supports connectivity using HTTPS, SOCKS 4 and SOCKS 5 proxy support through settings in the Options–>Connection dialog window. You need JRE 1.4 or newer for SOCKS 5 proxy support. If your firewall uses another port besides the native client port (ie: AIM: 5190) you can try changing this in the Main–>Connect–>Options–>Connection dialog window by specifying an alternate port. Some IM management software requires that the version of AIM or MSN or Yahoo be specific. Please contact your system administrator first, then Zion Support team can help you configure your client.
