Proxy Authentication

While a lot of applications allow you to configure proxy settings, quite a few do not support NTLM authentication. Unfortunately, a lot of corporate proxies use NTLM to authenticate their users. To get around this, we can use a free utility called Cntlm to connect these applications to the corporate network.
