Hi all. I'm running ubuntu 14.04. I would like pidgin to communicate through a proxy, but I don't want the rest of my system to communicate through the proxy. Just pidgin. But the only way I see to get pidgin to work with a proxy is by going to tools -> preferences -> proxy -> configure proxy, which drops me into the gnome system wide proxy settings.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
