1.3.14 not using proxy

i recently had to reload and took the opportunity to update to the latest version.

I know there's a change where only the first set in the proxy info is used. I kept trying to add the other sections and it took a while to find out that it was working now as designed.

However, i found out after the fact that my install isn't using the proxy info as defined. I did some testing with TCPdump and found that my system was talking directly with its peers, not going through the proxy. When I used a 'check my torrent' ip tool, it did show the proxy but any actual transfers were going peer to peer.

To fix it, i added the ltconfig plugin and selected 'force_proxy' and only then did I see the peer to peer traffic stop.

I downgraded to 1.3.12, disabled ltconfig, and now it is back to using the proxy as it should.
