Login Into AIM Using A Proxy

Published on the 3rd of March 2010

Cannot connect to the AIM login server using a proxy? I've ran into this problem during my stay in Vancouver and found a quick and easy solution.

Seemed like the wifi accespoint didn't support the exotic port number.

First I tried to change the default port of login.oscar.aol.com to 443. This actually worked straight away. Another solution was to use login.icq.com with port 443.
