Hello. Many web browsers support exceptions in their proxy configuration. You can instruct the web browser to use the proxy and then add a list of addresses or sites that you want to use with no proxy. This configuration does not depend on the proxy. If you are using something like Firefox it should be easy. My own setup is like this: Browser->Privoxy->Polipo->Internet. I think Polipo does not support selecting different parent proxies in a smart way, but Privoxy does. If you don't have an adblocking solution in place you might consider adding Privoxy in order to have both ads blocked and parent proxy automatic selection. -- OpenPGP Key Fingerprint: BB5A C2A2 2CAD ACB7 D50D C081 1DB9 6FC4 5AB7 92FA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mobile security can be enabling, not merely restricting.
