Comment (by cypherpunks):

 Thus API involved leaks could be fixed in general by setting proxy per
 process at start. (by [https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-
 us/library/windows/desktop/aa385114%28v=vs.85%29.aspx InternetSetOption]
 from urlmon.dll with [https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-
 us/library/windows/desktop/aa385328%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
 INTERNET_OPTION_PROXY] option with defined [https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-
 us/library/windows/desktop/aa385148%28v=vs.85%29.aspx INTERNET_PROXY_INFO
 structure], to /dev/null)
