I use my laptop at school and at home. However, internet access to each requires different proxy settings. I searched for a way to do this, but I couldn't find a solution, short of manually setting it.

  • What proxy settings exactly? APT proxy? Browser proxy? etc. And where do you set them? If there's a command-line way of setting it, this can be done using a Network Manager dispatcher script. (basically what the answer of jdthood comes down to) – gertvdijk Jan 16 '13 at 10:53
  • @gertvdijk The system-wide proxy set in Network Settings. I need it to be system-wide for all processes to access the Internet. – StAlRuth Jan 17 '13 at 03:42

    You can't force all programs to use a proxy. They need to have the support for that and they listen to those settings completely voluntarily. Anyway, would these scripts help you in combination with a dispatcher script? – gertvdijk Jan 17 '13 at 08:59

The author of the program claims that proxydriver can do that for you.

  • Can you please elaborate it more? Perhaps with a short info about the usage of the software. – Anwar Jan 16 '13 at 10:49
  • This works for me - install the script manually as per the instructions, connect to your network, edit the created config file and set Firefox to use the system proxy. – Mark Williams Mar 12 '13 at 15:09
