Setting up custom routes depending on the network location in OSX

Nearly all you need to know is available here:

All I found is that $BUNDLE refers to /System/Library/SystemConfiguration/Kicker.bundle/ and the script should go in $BUNDLE/Contents/Resources - not $BUNDLE/Resources (the paths are a little mixed in the original article).

Wireless Security

The following dialog appeared when I got to work this morning (where I connect via wired ethernet rather than wifi). I feel that someone has not really understood the concept of wifi security:

Squid proxying and whatsmyip.net and similar services

Just a quick note.

If you configure the mac's HTTP proxy under network system settings to point to a squid server on your local network - then whatsmyip.net et al return your internal IP (in my case a 192.168.1.x one) - instead of the real external address.

Very confusing when you can't work out how an internal IP is getting out there - it isn't.

Could well be the same (in fact I expect it would be) for windows, linux too.
