Proxy Bastard

bastard /ˈbɑːstəd; ˈbæs-/ (noun)

(informal) something extremely difficult or unpleasant: 'that job is a real bastard'

proxy /ˈprɒksi/ (noun)

see bastard

A command line interface for enabling and disabling proxy settings in the shell and other applications.

Warning: this tool is for people who know what they are doing but are too lazy to do it themselves.

Usage

$ proxybastard on|off

The first time you run Proxy Bastard you'll be presented with some configuration options. Proxy Bastard scans predefined locations for existing proxy settings and applications that utilise proxy settings, and suggests a configuration based on this. Once you've reviewed the suggestions, it will write a file called config.json in the folder ~/.proxybastard and you're ready to go.

Proxy settings can then be applied to your current shell session either by sourcing your shell profile/rc or running $(proxybastard env).

You can re-run the initial configuration at any time with proxybastard setup or by manually editing ~/.proxybastard/config.json.
