Ok, this layering, is this an adequate map:
[Local] -> [SOCKS] -> [HTTP] -> *Internet*
Could it also be:
[Local] -> [HTTP] -> [SOCKS] -> *Internet*
I'm redoing the configurator & the keys per your suggestions, the status

Also, reading through other messages, I see that at least password is
considered depreciated/illegal? Should I keep this setting anyways, or
should I remove it? Also, should I keep username or ditch it in favor of
apps doing a g_get_user_name() call?
