I think Autoproxy support should be available where the proxy is configured via script.
Your Windows LAN account should also be validated automatically through the proxy without having to remember to enter the password in BOINC every time you change your password on the LAN.

Thanks

On top of that I also found out from the BOINC message boards that your passwords are stored in text format in the XML files.

No security whatsoever

This site is for wishing.
If you want something done urgently, I\'d suggest that you contact the BOINC people in California.
Security of data on your computer is really your responsibility. Use a password to keep others out of your area.
