<u>{{project_name_workstation_long}} has the transparent proxying feature enabled by default.</u> (You could [[Stream_Isolation#Better_Protection|disable it]] if you wanted to.)

<u>{{project_name_gateway_short}} has by default '''no''' transparent proxying feature.</u>

Instructions below document how <u>you could enable it</u>. There are no known use cases besides [[Dev/Leak Tests|leak testing]].
