Configure proxy on Lubuntu

Configure Proxy in terminal

First you need to edit /etc/bash.bashrc file by your favorite editor

e.g.

sudo vi /etc/bash.bashr

Add your proxy server details in the following format

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

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

If your proxy is anonymous, just ditch the username:password@ part.

Some releases sudo is configured in such a way that all environment variables all cleared when running the command. To keep the value for your http_proxy and fix this, you need to edit /etc/sudoers, run:

visudo

Then find a line that states:

Defaults env_reset

and add this after it:

Defaults env_keep = "http_proxy ftp_proxy"

Things will start working as expected.

solution from here.


For Chromium

sudo vi /etc/chromium-browser/default

Also add your proxy server details in the following format

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