I have to actually modify the code to properly package it for my distro, so it’s engineering because I have to make decisions for how things work

I don’t see how this supports your point then. If “setting up proxy” means “packaging it to run on thousands user machines” then isn’t there obvious and huge potential for a disastrous fuckup?

No, because it either runs the program successfully, or it fails to launch. I don’t mess with the protocol. It runs as root because it needs to set the iptables when turned on to be a “global” proxy
