+:: Alpaca comes installed with a systemd user service called alpaca.service.
+   To use it, first generate your cntlm proxy hash:
+     \$ alpaca -d MYDOMAIN -u me -H
+
+   Include the generated ntlm credentials in ~/.config/alpaca.environment file.
+   A functional environment file could look similar to this:
+
+     LISTEN_ADDRESS=localhost
+     LISTEN_PORT=3128
+     NTLM_CREDENTIALS="me@DOMAIN:00000000000000000000000000000000"
+     PAC_URL="http://some.url/to/some-file.pac"
