Imho there should definitely be a way to override discovered proxies. There's 
not only the issue of trust. A user might also want to chose his own proxy 
over the discovered ones for speed or availability reasons.

The UI you suggested sounds very appealing to me. Probably the list of proxies 
should also be able to contain "external addresses" (Psi already supports one 
external address), which are very handy for e.g. me ;) , because I live 
behind a NAT, but I have an SSH-tunnel to my virtual server with port 
forwarding.
