I would expect this to do the same thing it would do for the "non proxy"
case - install a host route to the existing default gateway so packets
to the server (and with proxy, to the proxy) can still flow. Then,
change the default route into the tunnel.
Of course there might be bugs - so you'll end up having to test this.
