1.1. Short Description
Proxy use is necessary to gain security and privacy over our internet traffic . Proxy settings are itself network resources and can be easily obtained . The projects aims at implementing the resource discovery mechanism ( WPAD ) which will request the various servers ( DHCP , DNS & VPN ) to obtain those settings , manual insertion will also be implemented . Settings will be written to PacRunner from which various desktop clients can request them over DBus .
