[[ -n "$1" ]] || { echo "Usage: proxy user@example.com"; exit 1; } | |
# get service GUID and NAME (like Wi-Fi) to set SOCKS proxy | |
SERVICE_GUID=`printf "open\nget State:/Network/Global/IPv4\nd.show" | \ | |
scutil | grep "PrimaryService" | awk '{print $3}'` | |
SERVICE_NAME=`printf "open\nget Setup:/Network/Service/$SERVICE_GUID\nd.show" |\ | |
scutil | grep "UserDefinedName" | awk -F': ' '{print $2}'` | |
# command to disble socks proxy after at the end | |
finally() { sudo networksetup -setsocksfirewallproxystate "$SERVICE_NAME" off; } | |
# enable socks proxy in system configuration | |
sudo networksetup -setsocksfirewallproxy "$SERVICE_NAME" 127.0.0.1 1080 && | |

Yep can confirm, works on osx 10.11 without problems, IP exclusion list in system settings is respected too
