Due to numerous feature requests (hey Brian, hi Sven), I've added two features to Proxy Monitor: the possibility to set the proxy bypass list, and the option to disable notifications (balloon tips) when the proxy changed. So this is basically a small upgrade to version 1.1.
Proxy Monitor is a small application that monitors the network and auto-detects the internet proxy server to use. It can be started as a regular application, which will make it run as an icon in the system notification area. When started, it will auto-detect the proxy server to use. It will also automatically re-detect the proxy server when the computer’s network address has changed. The application can also be run from the command-line with the /detect flag to auto-detect the proxy and exit immediately (e.g. when the computer starts up).
You can download the tool below. Don't hesitate to contact me for suggestions or bug reports!
