Linux – Set Network Proxy Linux

linuxPROXYraspberry pi

I have a raspberry pi and I need to set a network proxy for both apt and browser.

How do I do this?

The only thing I have found is to use the following lines in the bash.bashrc file

export http_proxy=http://username:password@proxyhost:port/
export ftp_proxy=http://username:password@proxyhost:port/

However I do not have a username or password as the proxy does not require authentication.

Just add to your .bashrc:

export http_proxy=http://proxyhost:port

export ftp_proxy=http://proxyhost:port

If you don't neeed authentication just don't add it.

Its a 2 step process.

When you run a yum command it goes directly to the internet UNLESS you have set a proxy in its configuration file. When yum tries to go through the proxy the proxy queries the computer for the authorization, by talking to the shell, if it gets correct details it then allows the yum process to proceed.

Tell yum where the proxy is in /etc/yum.conf

http_proxy=http://172.17.30.20:80/

Put your own authentication details in your system's /root/.bashrc

myusername="whatever_it_is"
mypassword="whatever_it_is"
ourproxy="http://172.17.30.20:80/"   <--use your actual id
export http_proxy=$myusername:$mypassword@$ourproxy
