Linux hosts network connections via proxy server

We all know how to set up a connection proxy server through a proxy server under Windows, browser----> Tools------>internet Options-----> Connect---> LAN settings-------> tick " Use a proxy server for your LAN, configure the IP and port number of the proxy server. Ok. It is possible to browse the Web through a proxy server under Windows System.

But how do we go through a proxy server for network connectivity under Linux?

As we all know, the command window is prevalent in Linux, and many programs have only command-line windows. This also results in different settings for each program to connect to the network through a proxy server.

Below are some of the most common settings for Linux to connect to a network through a proxy server under a simple configuration.

"Common Proxy server Settings"

for most Linux console programs, such as apt-get and Aptitudecommands,git commands, wgetcommand, these programs all use the http_proxy and ftp_proxy environment variable to get the configuration of the proxy service.

The way is to add 2 variables in your profile (you can/etc/profile,/etc/bashrc,~/bashrc,~/.profile, etc., can be set according to your own situation, it is recommended to set in ~/BASHRC)

Export Http_proxy=http://username:[email protected]:p ort/

Export Ftp_proxy=http://username:[email protected]:p ort/

If your proxy server requires a user name and password to access, fill in username and password, if not, you can omit it. Like what:

Export http_proxy= Http://abcde:[email protected]:8080

Export Ftp_proxy=http://abcde:[email protected]:8080

Proxy Server login user name: ABCDE Password: 123456

Proxy server address: 192.168.100.1 port: 8080 (can be specified in proxy server)

Save exit.

Exit under terminal, or direct source ~/.BASHRC loaded in the file, is the environment variable in effect.

[Proxy server configuration for subversion]

To configure the proxy server for subversion, you need to modify the $home/.subversion/servers file in the [Global] section of this file plus:

Http-proxy-host = 192.168.100.1

Http-proxy-port = 8080

Http-proxy-username = ABCDE

Http-proxy-password = 123456

Now SVN can use the proxy server to access the repository.

[Configuration of the proxy server for Yum]

If you want Yum in CentOS to be able to update the program through a proxy server, you need to modify the file/etc/yum.conf, which is added in this file:

Proxy=http://abcde:[email protected]:8080

Now it's ready to use with Yum.
