How To Set A Proxy For The Terminal

                                                   -: Set A Proxy :-

If you set a global proxy in Gnome (I'm not sure about other desktop environments), you'll notice that the terminal ignores it. Here's how to set a proxy for the terminal:

1.For a HTTP proxy, simply run the following command in a terminal:

export http_proxy='http://YOUR_USERNAME:YOUR_PASSWORD@PROXY_IP:PROXY_PORT/'

2.For a secure connection (HTTPS), use:

export https_proxy='http://YOUR_USERNAME:YOUR_PASSWORD@PROXY_IP:PROXY_PORT/'

Example :-

# export http_proxy='http://localhost:8080'

# export https_proxy='http://localhost:8080' 

How to check if the terminal proxy is working :-

# env | grep -i proxy

# curl icanhazip.com

Reset the proxy :-

# unset http_proxy

# unset https_proxy
