+unexpectedly or inconveniently, you can tell PuTTY not to respond to

+
+\cfg{winhelp-topic}{proxy.logging}
+
+Often the proxy interaction has its own diagnostic output; this is
+particularly the case for local proxy commands.
+
+The setting \q{Print proxy diagnostics in the terminal window} lets
+you control how much of the proxy's diagnostics are printed to the main
+terminal window, along with output from your main session.
+
+By default (\q{No}), proxy diagnostics are only sent to the Event Log;
+with \q{Yes} they are also printed to the terminal, where they may get
+mixed up with your main session. \q{Only until session starts} is a
+compromise; proxy messages will go to the terminal window until the main
+session is deemed to have started (in a protocol-dependent way), which
+is when they're most likely to be interesting; any further proxy-related
+messages during the session will only go to the Event Log.

\H{config-telnet} The \i{Telnet} panel
The Telnet panel allows you to configure options that only apply to
\q{User-supplied GSSAPI library} option in the preference list to
make sure it is selected before anything else.
+On Windows, such libraries are files with a \I{DLL}\cw{.dll}
+extension, and must have been built in the same way as the PuTTY
+executable you're running; if you have a 32-bit DLL, you must run a
+32-bit version of PuTTY, and the same with 64-bit (see
+\k{faq-32bit-64bit}). On Unix, shared libraries generally have a
+\cw{.so} extension.

PuTTY in a variety of ways, such as \cw{true}/\cw{false},
\cw{yes}/\cw{no}, and \cw{0}/\cw{1}.
+\b The boolean mode \I{IUTF8 terminal mode}\cw{IUTF8} signals to the
+server whether the terminal character set is \i{UTF-8} or not.
+If this is set incorrectly, actions like backspace may behave
+incorrectly in some circumstances. However, setting this is not usually
+sufficient to cause servers to expect the terminal to be in UTF-8 mode;
+POSIX servers will generally require the locale to be set (by some
+server-dependent means), although many default to UTF-8. Also,
+\#{circa 2016} many servers (particularly older servers) do not honour
+this mode sent over SSH. When set to \q{Auto}, this follows the
+local configured character set (see \k{config-charset}).
+
\b Terminal speeds are configured elsewhere; see \k{config-termspeed}.
