Answer 1

Well, it depends on what you are using to do the internet traffic. If you are using a WebRequest, or anything that implements it, you can use the WebProxy object. This provides many properties for implementing this.

E.g.:

WebProxy proxy = new WebProxy("192.168.1.1:12345", true);

The above creates the proxy according to your settings, and bypasses on local. Now you can set this to your web request, or web service calls under the Object.Proxy property.
