Short answer: Transparent proxies are stealthy AF. They reroute your traffic silently, usually for "good" reasons (like caching), but it’s still spooky.
If you’re just a user, you can’t really opt out unless you use a VPN. For setup, Squid or Apache Traffic Server (trafficserver.apache.org) are solid picks. But again, ask yourself: do you *need* one?
