+<p>Irssi supports connecting to IRC servers via a proxy. All server
+connections are then made through it, and if you've set up everything
+properly, you don't need to do any /QUOTE SERVER commands manually.</p>
+
+<p>Here's an example: You have your bouncer (lets say, BNC or BNC-like)
+listening in irc.bouncer.org port 5000. You want to use it to connect
+to servers irc.dalnet and irc.efnet.org. First you'd need to setup the
+bouncer:</p>
+
+<pre>
+     /SET use_proxy ON
+     /SET proxy_address irc.bouncer.org
+     /SET proxy_port 5000
+
+     /SET proxy_password YOUR_BNC_PASSWORD_HERE
+     /SET -clear proxy_string
+     /SET proxy_string_after conn %s %d
+</pre>
+
+<p>Then you'll need to add the server connections. These are done
+exactly as if you'd want to connect directly to them. Nothing special
+about them:</p>
+
+<pre>
+     /SERVER ADD -auto -ircnet dalnet irc.dal.net
+     /SERVER ADD -auto -ircnet efnet irc.efnet.org
+</pre>
+
+<p>With the proxy /SETs however, irssi now connects to those servers
+through your BNC. All server connections are made through them so you
+can just forget that your bouncer even exists.</p>
+
+<p>If you don't want to use the proxy for some reason, there's -noproxy
+option which you can give to /SERVER and /SERVER ADD commands.</p>
