On the left, two network adapters are active. The adapter order can be changed by clicking on the gear icon at the bottom of the list and clicking the “Set Service Order…” menu item. If more than one adapter is connected, the operating system uses the proxy configuration for the connected adapter highest on the adapter list in the Network System Preferences pane. The operating system uses the proxy configuration for the currently-connected adapter, updating the system proxy as adapter connection states change. For example, a Thunderbolt ethernet adapter has its own proxy configuration associated with it that is separate from a wireless adapter. Mac OS X maintains individual network proxy settings for each network adapter. This post describes a method for programmatically setting the command-line network proxy environment variables based on the configured proxy in the Network System Preferences pane. However, this functionality doesn’t extend to command-line work in Terminal or iTerm and can be a pain when using git or package managers like npm, apm, pip, or homebrew while switching between environments. Mac OS X does a good job of juggling proxy configurations for graphical applications while moving between wired and wireless network connections.
