By default, proxyName is not sent to the server, so I think it's
pretty pointless.
proxyName is used for two purposes:
- it is displayed in error messages;
- it is sent to the server and client in every request/reply, but
only if disableVia is set to false. It is true by default.
So unless you have a good reason to set disableVia to false, there is
no reason to change the proxyName.
(In case you're interested, the Via mechanism is a reliable way to
avoid proxy loops. It is a good idea, but it is disabled in Polipo by
default for the very privacy reasons that you describe. If you are
not concerned about privacy, I recommend setting disableVia to false.)
