http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=902359 Bug ID: 902359 Summary: Add profile-based proxy settings Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: 13.2 RC 1 Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Network Assignee: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: villek@matrixscience.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- I run openSUSE on a work laptop. - The office has an HTTP proxy server, so whenever the laptop is in the office, I plug in an Ethernet cable, run YAST, set system proxy settings to the office proxy server address, log out, log in and start working. - At home, I use wifi and run a proxy server in my router. When I use the laptop at home, NetworkManager automatically finds the correct SSID and joins it, but I still have to run YAST, set the proxy settings to the right address, log out and log in again. - When I'm travelling on business, the laptop of course encounters many wifi networks. If I want to use wifi in a hotel or at a conference centre, NetworkManager joins the network without problem. But I still have to run YAST, clear proxy settings, log out and log in again. I know this is because http_proxy is a system environment variable, and the way X is run means it inherits the environment variables of the underlying shell. But it would be really nice if the system was able to choose a proxy server address based on which network interface or SSID is active, or even just have a list of "proxy profiles" from which I can choose the most appropriate one without having to log out and log in. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
