Hi,

Thank you for your feedback. So regarding the statistics do you think it
should be more like a standalone application and not part of nm? to have
the proxy configuration per connection was my original idea but I think is
too small to be part of a GSoC unless I add it to something else. What do
you think?

Eugenio
