Add an HTTP proxy
Use the following command to add an HTTP proxy:
sudo TSsetproxy
Set the proxy address and authentication according to the following prompts:
- Enter http proxy address: Enter the proxy address. (If no address is entered, you are prompted to exit the program.)
- Enter http proxy port number [3128]: Enter a port number or carriage return to accept the default, 3128, port number.
- Enter the username for proxy authentication: Enter a username. If you do not enter a username, no authentication is set.
- Enter the password for proxy authentication: Enter a password. If you do not enter a password, no authentication is set.
A proxy address confirmation message is displayed:
http_proxy is set to http://username:password@proxyAddress
The recommended usage is to enter the command sudo TSsetproxy, as shown above, and be prompted for each value. You can however use the TSsetproxy arguments instead:
Usage: TSsetproxy [option]... --address Proxy address (example: 'http://proxy.net') --port Proxy port number (default: 3128) --username Username for authentication --password Password for authentication --remove Removes proxy setting --debug,-d Prints script commands when executing (set -x) --demo Prints what changes would be executed only.
