Seriously doubt it would apply to macs. The note in the dictionary says that on windows machines, if a proxy is set it will use it automatically, no such note on a mac. Though I guess its possible, depending on the way LC determines if a proxy has been set.
Too bad, it fit SO well for windows machines. Maybe something will pop into my head. (though, I guess it wouldn't hurt to see if stale proxy settings on a mac will do the same thing) On Mon, Mar 2, 2015 at 7:21 PM, J.
