Automatically Change Browser Proxy Settings

ScottG
I have a laptop (Win XP Pro) that I use on the network where Astaro is running (with Basic User Authentication) and I also use it on other networks, mostly other WiFi networks, some open and some password protected.  It's a pain to have to change my proxy settings in Firefox and IE when I move from Astaro to another network that doesn't use proxy.  Is there a way to automatically change my browser proxy settings?

    I noticed something odd recently.  On my home network I'm running Astaro Beta 7.47 with Basic User Authentication.  On my main computer I have IE8 and Windows 7 RC.  It works fine when enable proxy server in LAN Settings, as it should.  But IE also works fine even when I uncheck proxy.  I still get the Astaro Basic User Authentication login pop-up.  It's like IE automatically figures out I'm using a proxy. It even behaves like this after I reboot. On the same home network I have a computer running XP with IE7 and when I uncheck the proxy, I can't get to the internet, which is what I expect to happen.

    Scott, in which mode are you running the HTTP/S Proxy?  The behavior you describe sounds like "Transparent with Authentication".
