    Hey guys, I've been meaning to ask if anyone could help with proxy and privacy concerns.

    How do I go about setting up network behind a proxy?

    How do I set up some of my programs behind a proxy?

    Can I rotate proxies?

    So... do you want to run a proxy server? Find an external one? What are you wanting to use a proxy for? If you set up your own proxy, you really aren't gaining any privacy, because all traffic will still come from your IP. Setting up programs to work through a proxy depends on what kind of proxy you're using (SOCKS4, SOCKS5, etc.) and what you want to do. As for rotating proxies, you may be able to, but there's no click-through way that I know of. It'd take some scripting and hacking on your part to do it.
