NITS-LAN-Proxy

A friendly guide to configuring proxy server on your systems

Ubuntu

Go to settings->Network

Set Network Proxy to manual, and configure the proxy as

HTTP Proxy: 172.16.199.40:8080
HTTPS Proxy: 172.16.199.40:8080

If you are using a router, add the network gateway ip in ignore list.

To get CLI tools to use the proxy, we need to configure two more files.

Edit the .bashrc file in your home directory to export the proxy environment vars:

export HTTP_PROXY=http://172.16.199.40:8080
export HTTPS_PROXY=https://172.16.199.40:8080

To get apt to work, we need to configure /etc/apt/apt.conf, if the file doesn't exist, create it. Add these two lines in the apt.conf file: Acquire::http::proxy "http://172.16.199.40:8080/";
Acquire::https::proxy "https://172.16.199.40:8080/";

Note: Don't confuse apt.conf.d with apt.conf
