Description
I can see in the ConnectionInfo I can specify a username and password (as strings), however if I want to use the credentials of the user running an application which uses SSH.NET to authenticate against a proxy server I don't want to have to capture those details somehow. Is it possible to authenticate as the current user (e.g. CredentialsCache.DefaultNetworkCredentials)?

Research direction
Start at ConnectionInfo and trace how HTTP proxy credentials are supplied and used during proxy authentication. Check whether the .NET current-user credentials can be passed through without capturing username and password. Done means documenting or supporting current-user authentication against the proxy, with coverage for the resulting behavior.
