- Support FreeBSD's ipfw firewall interface for TransPort ports on
FreeBSD. To enable it, set "TransProxyType ipfw". Resolves ticket

- Support OpenBSD's divert-to rules with the pf firewall for
transparent proxy ports. To enable it, set "TransProxyType pf-

on OpenBSD 4.4 or later without root privileges. See the
transparent proxy ports. To enable it, set "TransProxyType
