I like ifplugd & whereami, it can detect where you are based on IP recieved etc and tweak things to suit (it's all just scripts, so I have create links for different config, I have /etc/apt/apt.conf-home & /etc/apt/apt.conf-work, /etc/apt/apt.conf is only ever a symlink to the appropiate config. I do the same with galeon pref.js, if only galeon could handle IP changes reliably, and reload config on SIGHUP!)
