I think the subject is incorrectly titled. This thread (and the network in IIT), IMHO, is not about bypassing the proxy server. Authenticating with the proxy server does not set a authenticated-state somewhere that all traffic originating from your machine will pass through the network. Instead, you have to continue sending all the traffic to the proxy server. Thus, your proposed automatic login on reboot would not work. Your browser still needs to know where to send all the traffic. If you are adventurous, you might try writing a kernel level driver which will http-proxify all (appropriate) outgoing TCP packets. May be something like this already exists? This would go somewhere about the routing layer since you only want to proxify packets going outside your subnet, i.e., through your gateway.
