configuring network connection via proxy

Hello,

I need to plug my company laptop in to different networks many of which
make use of some sort of proxy for accessing the internet.  And every
time I face this challenge of changing connection settings of different
applications in many places.  This is of course very inconvenient.

What I would like to be able to do is to change the connection settings
regarding a proxy in one place and have it affect all my applications.
Something like one can do in MS Windows via Internet Options
(configuring proxy access).  I checked our otherwise great Handbook but
failed to find something covering this scenario.  And I'm surprised as I
expect this to be a rather common need.  Have I missed something ?
Could someone point me to any article covering my need please ?

TIA,

Martin

PS: Yes, I tried to google for this but I wasn't successful or perhaps I
just asked wrong questions. :(
