- \n
- HTTP Proxy<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- HTTPS Proxy<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- FTP Proxy<\/li>\n\n\n\n

<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\nConfigure Proxy and click \u201cOK<\/em>\u201d to save. The settings should take effect immediately after applying them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2) Set System-Wide Proxy settings on Debian from CLI<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
For this we will create a file inside
\/etc\/profile.d<\/code> directory and set Proxy settings that will work for all users on a Debian Linux system.<\/p>\n\n\n\nsudo vim \/etc\/profile.d\/proxy.sh<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nPopulate your proxy values.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
# set proxy config via profie.d - should apply for all users\n# http\/https\/ftp\/no_proxy\nexport http_proxy=\"http:\/\/10.10.1.20:8080\/\"\nexport https_proxy=\"http:\/\/10.10.1.20:8080\/\"\nexport ftp_proxy=\"http:\/\/10.10.1.20:8080\/\"\nexport no_proxy=\"127.0.0.1,localhost\"\n\n# For curl\n<\/mark><\/em>export HTTP_PROXY=\"http:\/\/10.10.1.20:8080\/\"\nexport HTTPS_PROXY=\"http:\/\/10.10.1.20:8080\/\"\nexport FTP_PROXY=\"http:\/\/10.10.1.20:8080\/\"\nexport NO_PROXY=\"127.0.0.1,localhost\"<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nAdd any additional IP address to be excluded to the NO_PROXY<\/em> & no_proxy<\/em> environment variables. When done add execution bit to the script created.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo chmod +x \/etc\/profile.d\/proxy.sh<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nAny user in the system that needs to use these settings have to log out and back in:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
logout<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nAlternatively, source the file for runtime use:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
source \/etc\/profile.d\/proxy.sh<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nConfirm proxy has been loaded in your environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
env | grep -i proxy<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n3) Set proxy for APT package manager<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Proxy settings in method 1 and 2 will only work for applications and command-line tools connectivity, but not for APT package manage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you need to set proxy for the APT package manager, configure like below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$ sudo vim \/etc\/apt\/apt.conf.d\/80proxy<\/mark>\nAcquire::http::proxy \"http:\/\/10.10.1.20:8080\/\";\nAcquire::https::proxy \"https:\/\/10.10.1.20:8080\/\";\nAcquire::ftp::proxy \"ftp:\/\/10.10.1.20:8080\/\";<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nReplace 10.10.1.20 with the <\/em>correct IP address for your proxy servers. If Authentication is required, set like this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Acquire::http::proxy \"http:\/\/<username>:<password>@<proxy>:<port>\/\";\nAcquire::https::proxy \"https:\/\/<username>:<password>@<proxy>:<port>\/\";\nAcquire::ftp::proxy \"ftp:\/\/<username>:<password>@<proxy>:<port>\/\";<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n4) Set Proxy for wget CLI only<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
If you would like to set proxy for use with
wget<\/code> command line tool, the file to modify is~\/.wgetrc<\/code> file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n$ vim ~\/.wgetrc <\/span> \nuse_proxy = on\nhttp_proxy = http:\/\/10.10.1.20:8080\/ \nhttps_proxy = http:\/\/10.10.1.20:8080\/ \nftp_proxy = http:\/\/10.10.1.20:8080\/ <\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nIf you were experiencing connectivity issues as a result of Proxy settings required in your system, you should now be connected. The configurations given should work with any Proxy server and not specific to any type. Below we have links on Squid proxy installation. Feel free to check them out:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
