I'm trying to figure out a way to set proxy for a particular wireless network connection that doesn't involve rebooting the machine or logging in and out.

Gnome has a feature that allows system-wide manual proxy configuration that fit the criteria well*. XFCE, only have an automatic proxy setting, probably involving PAC files, so I'm trying to get that to work, here's how I do it:

PAC URL = "file:///etc/itbproxy.pac"

itbproxy.pac is as following:

function FindProxyForUrl(url, host)
 return "PROXY some.proxy.site:8080; DIRECT";

Thing is, no resource points the correct usage of the said feature, no manuals, no tutorials or how-tos (I might have missed it). Everything on google involves editing environment variables, which is kind of cumbersome. The try on the screenshot fails. All connection went directly (it still connects when I edit the script to a nonexistent proxy server and removed the DIRECT fallback). Question is:

1. How to properly use the fields? Have I did it right, or is there something I miss?


2. Since I'm just going to need something that "just works", any input about alternatives fitting the said criteria (no reboot or relogin) is also appreciated.

Thanks!

*nb: just in case it is relevant, the distro is kali-linux
