Take the tour ×  My company uses an HTTP Proxy, so I had to
configure several config-files of my tools to access the
internet via the the Proxy.  When users are at home, they won't
be able to use that proxy (except when they use the VPN
connection). Is it possible to simulate that proxy (same
address, same port) but using the direct home connection of
users?  Are there any better ways to handle this kind of proxy /
mobile user situation?  share|improve this question You could
just have your tools look for environment variables about which
proxy to use or even whether to use a proxy at all. This should
give you flexibility to work in proxied or proxy-less
environments without the hassle of setting up a proxy server. –
