My distro works like charm. I don't need it.
It's great that your distro supports everything. However, many disros do not support authenticated proxy settings. Moreover, there are several apps which don't use system proxy on certain platforms and need their own workaround.
For older version, checkout branch v1. To download older versions, checkout releases tagged v1.* here.
- Modular approach. Individual scripts handle individual targets requiring proxy settings.
- This means, a script can be for a single application/domain can be created and easily integrated with main.sh, without much modifications in main.sh (which was not available in v1).
- No issues of privileges for individual scripts. Main script is responsible of executing child script with required privileges.
NOTE : It does not support PAC proxy using "proxy configuration URL". It is for setting up "manual" proxy.
