I need to toggle back and forth between engaging and disengaging a socks proxy within Safari:
> Next open safari and click on "safari" in the top left menu bar to

> you can now select "SOCKS Proxy". You should be setup and if you check
> google for your IP it should be masked by the address that you're
> SSH'd into. Note this is system wide and will cover all network
> communications. You can turn this off by unselecting the SOCKS Proxy.
Is it possible to perform this task with a script? Bonus round: add button or menu item to Safari UI to execute proxy toggle. Any feedback to clarify question is appreciated.
