Does your computer "dynamically understand" that there is no connection?
Either way, I would define a keyboard shortcut to this command in
Unix-like systems and manually press it whenever my computer loses
connection:

  curl 'http://localhost:8123/polipo/config?' -d proxyOffline=true

There is no bulletproof and automatic way to do what you want, but there
are non-bulletproof ones, which depend heavily on your environment.
