Hi,
  Proxies are configured via the Tcl http package. You should be able
to configure your proxy in your VMD .vmdrc file with commands similar
to these:
  package require http
  ::http::config -proxyhost yourproxy.yourdomain.com
  ::http::config -proxyport 80

Read more about using "::http::config" for proxies here:
  http://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl8.5/TclCmd/http.htm#M6

Cheers,
  John Stone
