We are aware of this, and that's why we are developing easier solutions.
There will be an automatic configuration in foxyproxy (soon, i hope ).

If you want to browse domains, everything is now really easy (recommended : change your DNS or install Foxyproxy in firefox) :
http://dot-bit.org/How_To_Browse_Bit_Domains

But, an easy solution means you don't fully benefit from the full power of the p2p.
So, there is still some work on this side.

Would those solutions be acceptable, for you, to browse .bit domains without relying on an external service ?
- a preconfigured virtual box running on your computer + foxyproxy
- same thing, with an installer but without virtual box + foxyproxy

Then, we also need something to manage and configure domains (or else) in namecoin.
Using the command line is not the most easy way to configure domains, subdomains and ip addresses

To summarize : which part is blocking you and what would you like ? :p
