This makes -transparent proxying ideal for those situations where you can't change client -behaviour - proxy-oblivious Android applications being a common example. - -To set up transparent proxying, we need two new components. The first is a -redirection mechanism that transparently reroutes a TCP connection destined for -a server on the Internet to a listening proxy server.
