Gauntlet transparency *only* means that packets addressed to a destination
on the other side of the firewall are directed to the proxies.  It is
typically used to allow users on the inside to use network applications
without having to enter the firewall as a proxy server in their configs. 

Transparency or not, you have to go through a proxy to get through Gauntlet
(unless you've enabled packet filtering--which is a whole 'nouther story).
The proxy rules determine what you have access to.
