I am currently jumping around from environments that don’t use proxy servers, to those that do.
This is kinda painful, in that I need to make a bunch of changes to change modes:
- Change Browser Config
- Change IM Config
- Setup /etc/hosts alias to point mail servers to localhost, and run ssh port forwarding to get through the proxy
- maven.proxy.host / maven.proxy.port
- … insert any other app that needs to get out …
Why isn’t there a setting in the OS that just lets you configure the proxy GLOBALLY!

Are you using OS X? That’s annoying that it has a global setting but no one seems to support it.
FWIW, I solved this by always proxying through SSH whether I needed to or not. Then you just change the SSH configuration based on your location.

Use your own local proxy from all applications and just change proxy forwarding when and if needed.

I agree with bob, if you are using OS X there is an app called sshtunnel that will allow you to configure which ports you want to forward and save the config. then all you need to do is open it and log in. I have pop3, AIM, CVS pserver, and web traffic all tunneled to get away from big brother when I’m not on my local network.

You are right,there should be a single rule to set proxy.Browserhelp is a web-based anonymous proxy service which allows to surf the Web in a secured manner.
