http proxy

hi,
I live in an university dorm and I'm stuck behind a http-proxy

there have been other threads in this forum about http-proxies, but I'm not talking about downloading the nzb-files over the proxy - I'm talking about routing all the traffic through a proxy server....

is it possible to have sab with proxy-support??


up until now I used an application for Windows called "ProxyCap", which just reroutes connections of specific programs through a http/socks proxy

but now I'm removing windows from my server to replace it with debian.
Up until now I haven't found any ProxyCap alternatives for linux.....


does anybody know a way to set up sab to reroute through a proxy? or how one would generally do something like that on a linux machine?

I've heard the term "iptables" been thrown around by an acquaintance ....and I've done a little digging upon that....unfortunately it's over my head...
is anybody familiar with that topic? and, does that even apply in my situation?

I'd appreciate your help

Would likely be the easiest way. Im not sure if sabnzbd listens to other environment variables ?
