Configure apt-get to use socks proxy

Configure apt-get to use socks proxy-Debian information for the Linux release. For more information, see. To install xgl In debian, It is very slow to set source abroad in sources. list. Therefore, you want to set the socks proxy for connection.

From the man in sources. conf, apt only supports http proxy, but it is more convenient for me to use the socks5 generated by the ssh proxy. You can only use tsocks

To perform socks proxy.

Installation:

Apt-get install tsocks

Set the conf file before use

Vi/etc/tsocks. conf

Make a simple configuration:

Local = 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 # local indicates the local network, that is, the network without the socks proxy

Server = 127.0.0.1 # IP address of socks server
Server_type = 5 # socks service version
Server_port = 7070 # port used by the socks service

Use tsocks proxy apt-get:

Tsocks apt-get update
Tsocks aptitude upgrade
...

Simply add "tsocks" to the command, and tsocks will use "exec" to run the command.
