Title: Pidgin connection issues
Post by: Juggernog on August 19, 2013, 01:45 am
Hey guys, I have recently downloaded pidgin, set up the proxy to use with Tor, but it is stuck on Connecting. Any help would me much appreciated!

I know the first time I used Pidgin I had to change the port number it was connecting through.  The error message I was getting was "Connection Refused" though so I don't know if its the same problem you're experiencing.

If it is the port number switching it to 9150 worked for me.  Apparently if you're using TBB you have to make it something else though.
