Pidgin and Gtalk behind a firewall

Google didn't include instructions for how to set up Pidgin when you are behind an ISA 2006 firewall.

I needed to change the normal port 5222 to port 443 to get through the firewall and then I had to enable the old SSL protocol. I don't understand why the SSL/TLS failed. Maybe it had something to do with the Debian SSL certificate problem.



How do I configure Pidgin for Google Talk?

    Just wanted to drop a note to say that I found this page via a google search and it helped me connect via Pidgin to Google Talk behind the corporate firewall. Thanks for this post!

    I love your blog lots of useful information. I've added it to my favorite bookmarks and subscribed in a reader.

    All these issues are important, and that's why I just started blogging a while ago and it feels great.
