ok so here is an update for my idea.

Functinality

1. if there is no proxy enabled, proxy is enabled with default values. if there is a proxy enabled, proxy will be disabled.

2.maybe settings button that will take you to configure proxy.

Thoughts on the process of doing this safely.

1.
a) Determin the current connection.

b) Disable the current connection.

c) Enables the proxy.

d) Enable the connection.

2. some how interface with the already designed proxy configure page.(d-bus????)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

after having a breif look into the api i have a feeling it will be a mixture of d-bus, libconic and osso-wlan.

Any one have any veiws on this idea.
