[ubuntu] Proxy configuration

linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – Hello, I'm from Romania, and I'm new to your community. Normally I do not write into forums because any thing can be found on the internet but I'm a little stuck with a problem. In the network I work, there is a proxy server (10.1.1.1) used to access the internet. So I use Applications --> System Tools --> System Settings --> Network --> Network Proxy for my configuration. Cli tools ignore this so I use "set http_proxy=10.1.1.1" and check with env. But still there are some tools (e.g. telnet) that won't use the proxy. So is it possible to configure the proxy (Hardware)

wget behind a proxy 35 weeks 5 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.

Hi all,I'm trying to channel all my traffic through tor but KDE doesn't seem to recognize my proxy settings.

Since new version of U1 (4.0), it's been claimed that it can read OS proxy settings. But in my case it didn't. I have my network settings set to "Auto Proxy Discovery". And browsers, mail and other apps are working fine. I had to configure proxy settings for Dropbox manually (it has such configuration). But how can I configure U1 proxy manually? If it for some reason ignores Auto Proxy Settings.

i am trying to set all internet connections of all network PCs via proxy server that is installed on windows server 2003 i have editted proxy setting from gpo, but it only worked for internet browsers, is there way to force all applications to use that proxy (applications like chatting apps, IDM, torrent and others)

note: i am using ccproxy as a proxy server

i work on ubuntu 12.04 with a internet connection using proxy. Lately the proxy address changed, and now suddenly I cannot connect to internet whatsoever. Strangely, the same proxy adress does work on a windows machine. I know there is a bug concerning the system wide application of proxy settings, but that is not my problem. If i set the new proxy address in firefox it just does not connect.

I have 2 servers running CentOS 6

and am able to access the internet.

I have a server B that has 1 network card.
