If you need proxy_1 at + work and proxy_2 at home (or other location) this plugin will be useless + for you. Well, this functionality could be added... Any volunteers? + + Screenshot + http://trooper.tricube.cz/screenshot.gif + +REQUIREMENTS + This plugin requires modified Netlib. It is not possible to change the + proxy settings run-time and it is not possible to determine which + network interface is used by Miranda IM without this modification. It + means that you need new modified miranda32.exe! + + If you compile miranda for yourself you can download a patch file + otherwise pre-compiled binary is ready for you. + + The updated Miranda should have "(Netlib modf)" tag on the About dialog. + + I hope my modification will be soon incorporated into Miranda IM v0.4 + official source tree. + +DOWNLOAD + Plugin + Download or install the plugin using Miranda Installer. The source is + available also.
