This is a request to change the default behavior requested by @jandubois in #563 and resolved in #570.
The current method parses SystemProfiler output which only shows "Network Services" not all network interfaces. (e.g. most enterprise VPN interfaces are not included)
Apple provides a framework called SystemConfiguration that can provide more information about the network configuration of a Mac, AND give you the actual primary proxy and dns settings. The documentation for the Swift framework is here: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/systemconfiguration
To take a look at what SystemConfiguration can provide, you can use the Mac built-in binary scutil: scutil --dns will give you the list of DNS servers you should attempt in order of default routes/dns. scutil --proxy will give you the proxy settings. scutil --nwi will give you a true output of interfaces that the client has.
For instance right now, in System Preferences and System_Profiler I have 2 active services:
Wi-Fi
Thunderbolt Bridge
However, neither of those have proxy settings, and if you tried to send traffic out either, or use the DNS for either it would fail because I also have Cisco AnyConnect running configured with full tunnel.
If I run scutil --nwi, it outputs this instead:
Network information
IPv4 network interface information
utun3 : flags : 0x5 (IPv4,DNS)
address : 10.209.164.105
reach : 0x00000002 (Reachable)
en0 : flags : 0x5 (IPv4,DNS)
address : 172.16.32.47
reach : 0x00000002 (Reachable)
REACH : flags 0x00000002 (Reachable)
IPv6 network interface information
No IPv6 states found
REACH : flags 0x00000000 (Not Reachable)
Network interfaces: utun3 en0
