Description Thorsten Oppels 2010-08-19 15:31:21 UTC

Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.3.5) 
OS:                Linux

If KNetworkManager should be used for quick switch the networking enviroment, it were smart if the system proxy configuration could be configured, too.

Today the user has to manually change the proxy config. (Automatic proxy detection via browser use javascript and so it is not secure.) But with incl. Proxy Config. is were real 'click and run'



Reproducible: Always

There is a problem with this wish, if we implement this in Plasma NM we will support only user connections.

For this to work with system connections it must be implemented in NM itself. Besides, the KDE's proxy configuration only works with KDE programs, it would not work with Firefox, Chromium, Opera, etc.

I think you should contact NM developers for them to implement this wish in NM. NM runs as root so it can change iptables settings to make the transparent proxy configuration for all programs.

Reassign Network Management bugs to new maintainer.  Have a lot of fun, Lamarque!

It looks like upstream is starting to implement the bases for us to implement this in a desktop agnostic way https://mail.gnome.org/archives/networkmanager-list/2013-March/msg00057.html

Hello! Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but this project has been unmaintained for many years and I will be closing this bug. Please test again with the latest version and file a new bug in plasma-nm. Thank you!
