CNTLM and Mac startup

January 17, 2018

In work I need to use cntlm to handle the Microsoft proxy.

One of the things I was doing was starting it manually when I needed it. So that started being a pain so needed to get it to start running on startup. On a Mac that generally involves plists, LaunchAgent, etc…

But brew to the rescue!

There’s a tap to help you out so install services

brew tap homebrew/services

Then

brew services start cntlm

Ah isn’t brew awesome.
