setting proxy zoomed up my connection

       [<URL-SPEC>] proxy = (host[:port])
              The hostname and port on it to use as the proxy.

they will just get made again at (my, at least) ISP's proxy anyway?
Setting the above explicitly avoids this.

And that is already cached by pdnsd on my computer, so not that bad
pending fixing.
