Proxy switch "proxy on" & " proxy off" software

Call me anal but I wanted to make sure our staff were protected on staff laptops at home as well as in work.

So I

1. Disabled the proxy setting for staff,
2. Created a AD deploayable CMAK connection which installs tyo the machine at startup via a startup script.

That staff just needed to double click on and VPN icon on the desktop to VPN into the school.

3. the school proxy then became available and web access was then logged.

;-)


Just a different route you can go down.....

I use a very similar setting as Irazmus.

A proxy.pac file, stored on the school site. Teachers laptops point at this file in "Use Automatic Configuration Script". If their IP is on our range then they go through our proxy. If not they have direct access to the net.

Works a treat for all those who want to use their laptops for internet at home.

I will probably get slapped for digging up old topics - but do you have the code for that pac file?

function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
{
var proxy_yes = "PROXY 192.168.0.1:8080";
var proxy_no = "DIRECT";

if (shExpMatch(url, "http://internal/*")) { return proxy_no; }
if (shExpMatch(url, "http://intranet/*")) { return proxy_no; }
if (shExpMatch(url, "https://intranet/*")) { return proxy_no; }
return proxy_yes;
}

missed the IP bit:

if (isInNet(host, "10.0.0.0",  "255.255.248.0"))    {
        return "PROXY fastproxy.foo.com:8080";
     }
