That’s nice when you don’t have any VPN connectivity.

@Casey -- Yes, a good point. Mozilla does not honor the proxy settings set by the underlying operating system; others may not as well. Generally speaking, all of the Apple-supplied applications will. Others are hit-and-miss. I also run Little Snitch (an application that intercepts outgoing connections and asks for confirmation before allowing the connection), so I can see if applications are not honoring the MacOS SOCKS proxy settings.

Are you sure about the SOCKS proxy setting in the Mac network panel proxying *everything*? It doesn’t proxy any mozilla products, and it doesn’t work on hulu flash video.

From what I’ve read, to proxy all network traffic you have to run proxifier. I haven’t found anything else that is all inclusive…

I use FoxyProxy as well, Jon, and agree that it makes the Firefox setup very easy. (Firefox is one of those Mac programs that doesn't read the standard network parameters, such as the SOCKS proxy, out of the operating system configuration.)

ssh -D + firefox plugin foxyproxy works like a charm here.
