I know this because I *SNIFF* - the only way to know for sure.

I want to hide from my sys admin and Tor *IS* what I need.
Can anyone help me?
Let's bring an answer to this question:
Is it possible to torify MSN Messenger chat/conversations traffic? How?
I couldn't find the answer using google...
My investigations lead me to think it is not possible because this fucking piece

But I would like to get different oppinions to validate.
Thanks folks ;-)
