No. Transparent proxying works 'transparent' to the user; he doesn't
know that there is a proxy.

Are the things you want to send through the proxy delimited by the
network they appear on? e.g., you want traffic for the 'Net to go
through the proxy, but want to keep traffic for your local LAN as direct
traffic? If so, then transparent proxying should work perfectly for you.

You did (but note that you'll need to do some iptables magic to make
this possible)
