I basically reproduced the existing design for proxy. That said, there
are advantages to the current design: you can use the same proxy
settings with different interfaces/connections, for example, and it
makes proxy more discoverable.

Are there any use cases where per-connection proxy settings are required?

Hi Allan,

yes, a laptop used both at work and at home (for a while I also worked in different places and had to change proxy settings every time I changed place of work).


Ciao,
