Well, as far as I could find out, that's something completely different
from what I need. transparent proxy support in the kernel is an option
if you put up a proxy server using Linux. It doesn't help at all at the
client side.

Anyway, I couldn't find any documentation about using a proxy as a
client within the docs coming with debian. Is using a proxy a thing
that can only b done by the individual programs? It would be a great
thing, not to have to configuring every single program you want to use.
Does anybody know a source of information about *using* a proxy
(besides all the help you find about *setting up* a proxy, which
actually doesn't help a bit... :-(   )
