ICQ setup

ICQ can be set up in the 'network connection properties'. Go to Main - Preferences - Connection, enable 'Using Firewall' and 'Using proxy'.

In the 'Host' field specify the IP address of the internal network interface of the computer with UserGate Server. In the 'Protocol' drop-down list select 'HTTPS' or 'Socks'. Leave addresses and destination port unchanged ( illustration).

Yahoo Messenger setup

Yahoo Messenger can be set up in the 'Connection Preferences' of the 'Messenger' menu. In the 'Messenger Preferences' window, select the 'Connection' category. Then, it is possible to adjust the 'Yahoo Messenger' similarly to ICQ, i.e. specify either 'HTTP' or 'Socks protocol' and the address of the internal network interface of the computer with UserGate.

Note: When Yahoo Messenger works through proxy, it is impossible to use 'Chat rooms' and 'Video Chat' features.
