Using Pidgin from behind a firewall

Getting Pidgin through your company's firewall can be a chore that only the IT folks can help with, but here's something to try first yourself.

Configure the server and port

Find your account inside Pidgin, click modify, and then the Advanced tab. You can set the connect server to "port80.olark.com" and the port to "80" and then it should get through the firewall.

Please provide the domain name where your Olark live chat is installed.
Include the relevant transcript URL, if possible. You can send us the specific URL from your Transcripts page.
If you see specific error messages, banners, warnings, notices, etc., please let us know here.
