The best option I've been able to come up with is to have (at least) a
simple proxy running on the laptop and change its configuration when
the network changes. Along with a local DNS caching server, this
means that your browser will simply continue to work after network
changes.
I do this:
galeon -> wwwoffle -> junkbuster -> upstream-proxy/direct
.
.
V
pdnsd
I use laptop-net to automatically change configuration files and
restart daemons...
Works like a beauty, although FTP an be a little problematic to get
right. A good advantage of the above setup is that wwwoffle offers
offline browsing and searching.
I must figure out how to configure privoxy (and allow laptop-net to
change its configuration), so I can ditch junkbuster (which is
obsolete in sid)...
peace & happiness,
martin
