Except it should be in quotes, I think. Yes, the man page mentions the .conf and the seti_proxy_args= entry but it doesn't give examples of the proper format. You were correct, however, I did need the quotes. This is what worked: seti_proxy_args="-proxy xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:port" If such an example could be added to the setiathome(1) man page then maybe more people would use it. There might also be a mention of the FreeBSD setiathome team so they could join.
