I was wondering if anyone knew of a G2 client that supported socks proxies? Shareaza sucks when you try and use it througha router. Also I have no control over my router so it is IMPOSSIBLE for me to forward ports.

Not a good idea to double post. It upsets the mods and it also wastes resources.
What kind of router do you have?

There are Gnutella clients that can use SOCKS proxies: LimeWire (as of 3.9.3 beta) and Phex (for quite a while), to name just a few.

First, there is only one Gnutella (as in General Gnutella Discussion) and that is Gnutella. There is no gnutella1 at all and "gnutella2" has nothing to do with Gnutella (completely different protocols). Morpheus (and no other GnucDNA based client) will support downloads via proxy but it will not proxy any other connection. There is no "gnutella2" client that supports SOCKS proxies.
