A good start would be a bug database(perhaps a tag in launchpad and bugs.d.o) with perhaps a wiki that would outline the current status and issues with running behind a proxy. The main goal would help /new/ users in the trial and error department with a secondary goal to identify how much work would be involved and where assistance is needed.
I should point out that at this time I'm no-longer behind a proxy, however I am behind a NAT and this presents some of the same issues with regard to how to establish in-bound connections. One question is to decide is weather to include UPnP as a sort of proxy as it is a tool that applications interested in creating network sockets may need to be configured to use. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/843268 Title: gnome-control-center doesn't allow to specify proxy exceptions To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-control-center/+bug/843268/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
