Wordpress behind a proxy

After installing this wordpress blog, I noticed that the loading of the “Dashboard” page takes ages. Reading the code showed me that it wants to fetch some rss-feeds. Because this server is behind a proxy this is normal, I just have to define a proxy somewhere.
Google pointed me to this wordpress forum.

This is what you need to edit in wp-includes/class-snoopy.php:

var $proxy_host = "";
// proxy host to use
var $proxy_port = "";
// proxy port to use
