Proxy settings for Raspbian Jessie

Question

I just borrowed a Raspberry Pi 2 from my friend.

As my institute has a proxy server with user authentication, I can't access the internet via my Pi. I installed Raspbian Jessie.

I need help to solve this

Answer 1

1. If you have to authenticate, add the following lines to the following files:

   For general browsing, in /etc/environment add

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

   For apt-get, in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10proxy add

   Acquire::http::Proxy "http://username:password@host:port";
   

2. If you do not have to authenticate, add the following lines to the following files:

   For general browsing, in /etc/environment add

   export http_proxy="http://host:port/"
   

   For apt-get, in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10proxy add

   Acquire::http::Proxy "http://host:port/";

Answer 2

To connect proxy on raspi you need to add proxy at 3 places namely

1. /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10proxy and then type

   Acquire::http::Proxy “http://username:password@proxy_server_address:port/”;

2. /etc/environment and then type

   export http_proxy=”http://username:password@proxy_server_address:port/”

3. ~/.bashrc and then type

   export http_proxy=http://username:password@proxy_server_address:port
