Instead of a separate source.

As soon as NM supports this and there's a mockup I will add the required UI.

Comment 3 Dan Winship 2013-02-01 21:55:08 UTC 
So there are two ways this could happen:

  1. GProxyResolverGnome could just read proxy info out of NetworkManager
     rather than out of GSettings

  2. gnome-settings-daemon could change the proxies in GSettings any
     time the connection changed.

I like #1 better, although #2 has the advantage that it wouldn't require updating libproxy and Firefox and anything else that is reading our proxy settings by hand...


There are also people who will still want global proxy settings. Eg, if you are running something like privoxy or tor locally, you will always want your proxy to be 127.0.0.1 regardless of what network you're on. Having to reconfigure this for every wifi network you connect to would be a pain. (Yes, I know there's a separate bug about tor support, but you get the idea.) This is pretty power-userish though, so maybe the right fix is just a hidden "don't use connection proxies" setting, and they can set their global proxy by hand / via gnome-tweak-tool.

GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org.
As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org
which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately
quite limited so not every ticket can get handled).

If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent
and supported software version, then please follow
  https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines
and create a new bug report at
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/-/issues/

Thank you for your understanding and your help.
