Nothing required on the client side, just specify the IP address of the
proxy in collectd's network plugin configuration.

Keep in mind that the network plugin sends packets via UDP, so your proxy
will need to support UDP if you want it to relay to your external server.

If you don't have a UDP proxy already set up, I can recommend something
like socat or samplicator.
