The proxy is transparent (unless you have it manually) which means it intercepts traffic on port 80.

What happens when you request a page is you perfom a DNS query first, then using that IP send the header information via port 80 (which is intercepted)

Bearing in mind this does not hold if you set your server manually in the internet options.
