Ah, really? Even with my transparent squid setup I still get OpenBSD
detected (which I guess is what I expected, since its the OpenBSD

the client). Is there particular squid configuration directives I
should be looking at to get your behaviour?

Ah, I forgot totally about sockscap! I'll certainly look into that,

Thanks again for your help,
