Setting up internet proxy
If you need to access the internet via a proxy as is the case in several universities we must follow the following steps
- In the directory /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/ create the file10proxy
cd /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/
sudo nano 10proxy
2. In this file add the line
Acquire::http::Proxy "http://username:password@proxy_address:port";
At DeKUT we type
Acquire::http::Proxy "http://192.168.96.1:8080";
3. Save the file and exit- Type Ctrl-X and type Y when asked whether to save changes
4. In the terminal type sudo apt-get update
You should now have access to the internet
