And to my surprise I just can't I tried to reset proxy of the terminal by some commands but it doesn't happen and automatically switches back to this proxy 172.16.0.16 (which apparently was my college proxy).

Please be comprehensive,I am a nube :) Also I further would like to know how to bypass proxy server since I couldn't access any of the repositories as they were blocked in my college's proxy settings as is Ubuntu's homepage.

wget behind a proxy 35 weeks 4 days ago

I am trying to get wget running behind a proxy. Since Ubuntu didn't support providing authentication information for the proxy (the one in the system settings), I had to use a ntlm proxy (in my case, I use cntlm). In the network settings I have set the proxy to 127.0.0.1:3128, which works fine for Chrome. APT has its own configuration file, where I've also set the proxy to 127.0.0.1:3128.

If it for some reason ignores Auto Proxy Settings.
