 1 | ### System wide proxy
 2 | #Configure proxy address
 3 | export HTTP_PROXY=192.168.1.254:80
 4 | #To make it permanent for your user just added to the profile script
 5 | #If using authentication the full command is: export HTTP_PROXY=user:password@proxy_address:port
 6 | #For HTTPS proxy servers the variable is called HTTPS_PROXY
 7 | 
 8 | #Configure DNS server (add your DNS address)
 9 | sudo nano /etc/resolv.conf
10 | #Test DNS and proxy
11 | wget http://www.w3.org
12 | 
13 | 
14 | ### apt and apt-get proxy
15 | #Configure proxy only for apt on ubuntu
16 | sudo touch /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/proxy.conf
17 | sudo nano /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/proxy.conf
18 | #Add line:
19 | Acquire::http::Proxy "http://192.168.1.254:80";
20 | #If using authentication the full line is:
21 | Acquire::http::Proxy "http://user:password@proxy_address:port";
22 | #For HTTPS proxy servers just replace http with https
23 | #Test that packages can be downloaded
24 | sudo apt install isc-dhcp-server
25 | 
26 | 
27 | ### proxy for curl
28 | #Access a site with curl
29 | curl -I https://www.google.com -x 192.168.1.254:80
30 | #For proxy with authentication you can use the syntax: -x 'http://user:password@proxy_address:port'
31 | #Replace http with https in case this is needed
