Proxy Applet is a GNOME applet for changing your network proxy configuration with a single click from the gnome panel,
without entering gnome network preferences. It's written in pure C and needs at least GNOME 2.26. Special thanks to Enrico Razza! |

nice, amd-64 ????
You can build your own package from sources.
Andrea, thank you very very much! I've been looking for something like this for a long long time. I've seen there was already a proxy applet, but I prefer pure C applets over frameworked C# code.
You should really submit this to gnome, in hopes of making it a core applet. It might need a few small enhancements, like some prefs to allow switching between icon/text, but aside from that I think it should belong to core gnome applets.
Thank you! It is realy useful. I'll recommend it to my frends.
Very very useful, thank you!!!
work's like a charm!!! thank you so much. the only think i dindt know is i need the gnome libraries. i don't had them. so if anyone needs the command, here is:
yum install gnome-panel-devel (im in fedora)
then i did what you said.
thanks again.
it can be translated??? can i? :)
Thx!
Ciao Andrea.
Does your applet apply the configuration globally, like as the "gnome-network-properties" tools?
I don't think so, as I am not asked any password.
cheers

Massimiliano, the configuration is NOT applied globally.

Hi !
Would it be possible to also include a selector for Socks4 and Socks5 in the panel ? ATM it does not allow me to use a local Socks5 proxy.
Thanks anyway!
Cheers,
Karl
PS: Coming here from the about box in the applet on debian squeeze.
This is brilliant! This has been driving me nuts! If only I took the time to actually search for something like this (actually.... I just have!).
The question though... why is this not in the repositories?
This is a great applet very tidy, I would however love to be able to run a script when i switch to a certain proxy profile e.g. a file in a profile folder named "onCreate.sh" or something
#!/bin/bash
ssh -D 9999 user@proxy-host
This a fairly simple app and one which loads of people want (I wonder if I can make something similar for gnome-shell). In which case, I think this would be an applet that would get a lot of attention from people wanting to start contributing code... Of course, all we really need now is the infrastructure and a maintainer (i.e. someone to review the submissions and decide whether it\\\'s in the best interest of the applet).
Thanks for the nice work!
