# Step 1. Install proctools to use "pgrep" command.
#
# Step 2. Configure your .ssh/config to include:
#
# Host proxy-host
#      HostName proxy-host.example.com
#      User a12345
#      DynamicForward localhost:1080
#
# Step 3. Configure SSH_HOST, SOCKS_PROXY_PORT, and NW_SERVICE variables.
#
SSH_HOST=proxy-host
SOCKS_PROXY_HOST=localhost
SOCKS_PROXY_PORT=1080
NW_SERVICE=Wi-Fi # /usr/sbin/networksetup -listallnetworkservices

# DO NOT CHANGE
NWSETUP_CMD="/usr/sbin/networksetup"
