+\b Selecting \I{Local proxy}\q{Local} allows you to specify an arbitrary
+command on the local machine to act as a proxy. When the session is
+started, instead of creating a TCP connection, PuTTY runs the command
+(specified in \k{config-proxy-command}), and uses its standard input and
+output streams.
+
+\lcont{
+This could be used, for instance, to talk to some kind of network proxy
+that PuTTY does not natively support; or you could tunnel a connection
+over something other than TCP/IP entirely.
