+ proxySwith - Automatic proxy settings manager
+ proxySwitch can enable/disable proxy in Miranda IM, Internet Explorer, and
+Firefox based on the current IP address and defined rules. This plugin
+is useful mainly for laptop/notebook owners. Why I wrote this plugin? Because I don't want to do many things manually: And what the plugin can't do?
+
+ 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 or install the plugin using Miranda Installer. The source
+is available also. Please note the requirements above.
+ Replace your miranda32.exe with the respective version downloaded from this
+page. Or you can download a patch file to modify the source and you can
+compile it for yourself. Apply the diff to the Miranda source manually or using Cygwin GNU patch program:
