psproxy
A simple way to toggle the proxy settings for Pulse Secure VPN.
This utility was created to solve the problem of Charles Proxy(v3.10.2) not working when connected to a VPN using Pulse Secure(v5.2.5) on Mac OS X (v10.10.5).
This tool is not intended to work on operating systems other than Mac OS X, and has only been tested with the configuration above.
A notable change is that v2.x of this tool now supports the newer version of Pulse Secure. Install v1.x if you have the older Junos Pulse Secure.
