Bug Description
Proxy settings is missing two essential features:
* ignore list
* "use this for all" flag.
This renders the whole feature unusable because in a normal company environment you have to specify ignore list and you often (not always but very often) use "use this for all" flag. I would call this a regression and a blocker for migration from previous LTS releases.
Other than that it also misses "proxy profiles" feature that 10.04 LTS had, which was used by many folks to quickly switch between multiple proxies and direct connection. I would call this also a regression but it is not a show stopper (although it is not a nice thing that it has dissappeared).
PS I'm aware that you can work around the first two issues that I mentioned with dconf editor but is that *really* the way how you should do it in Unity UX?
