Currently, you send your all IP addresses (including the ones of proxies) to the other party. So, if you can connect without the proxy, then you use routing provided by IP, which means you get local transfer for free. (Of course there are clients able to screw it up, for example sending only the public IP, which is useless). -- You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can make a fool of yourself anytime.
