Public bug reported: If using a VPN, the rules of the local network are no longer the relevant ones -- in particular, after connecting to a work VPN I found that I need to tell all web traffic to use a proxy server otherwise I cannot access web pages external to the VPN's local network.
Accessing external pages like this is a large part of the *point* of a VPN, but it is a real pain to have to change my global proxy settings every time I join or leave the VPN connection. I think the VPN configuration dialog needs (maybe under Advanced Options) a tab to override the main network proxy settings for each VPN, so this configuration can be applied/unapplied automatically. There may be other similar settings which could do with being settable in a per- VPN way, but proxies is the one that's currently biting me, and it doesn't seem to be achievable via the currently exposed IPv4 Settings dialog tab. ** Affects: network-manager-applet (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: network proxy vpn -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1234372 Title: Need option for special per-VPN proxy settings To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-applet/+bug/1234372/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
