+	  This option enables transparent proxying support, that is,
+	  support for handling non-locally bound IPv4 TCP and UDP sockets.
+	  For it to work you will have to configure certain iptables rules
+	  and use policy routing. For more information on how to set it up
+	  see Documentation/networking/tproxy.txt.
+
+	  To compile it as a module, choose M here.  If unsure, say N.
