  <para>If you have to use a proxy server to access to the internet, you can
  use this tool<footnote>
      <para>You can start this tool from the command line, by typing <emphasis
      role="bold">drakproxy</emphasis> as root.</para>
    </footnote> to configure it. Your net administrator will give you the
  information you need. You can also specify some services which can be
  accessed without the proxy by exception.</para>

  <para>From Wikipedia, on 2012-09-24, article Proxy server: In computer
  networks, a proxy server is a server (a computer system or an application)
  that acts as an intermediary for requests from clients seeking resources
  from other servers. A client connects to the proxy server, requesting some
  service, such as a file, connection, web page, or other resource available
  from a different server. The proxy server evaluates the request as a way to
  simplify and control their complexity.</para>
