Description

On my desktop, I have privoxy configured not to proxy local networks through Tor (local networks would not be reachable through Tor). I'd like to do the same for Orbot.

If possible, it would be nice (although possibly difficult on a phone/tablet screen) to configure a set of local CIDRs per wireless SSID. That way I can not-proxy home networks at home, and work networks at work.

Opting applications out of being proxied by Orbot because they require local LAN access leaves them open to public IP space not behind Tor.

It would be convenient to have a global exception for local traffic (not an app by app basis).

Is there a no_proxy variable or something like that which the tor binary would read to make this possible? I'd be willing to work on this with more information on how it could be done!
