I'm thinking about adding a "location" of sorts. When you connect to a new wireless LAN (identified by router's MAC address) the context menu for the applet could show a "Configure location" option. In there, you could tell nm to change connect using a certain vpn connection and also change your proxy settings accordingly. Is anything like this in the pipeline? -- | Soren Hansen | Linux2Go | http://Linux2Go.dk/ | | Seniorkonsulent | Lindholmsvej 42, 2.
