Connect Raspi to a Proxy

[raspiworld]

Hi, I have a problem with my internet connectivity.
I only have acces to the Internet over a proxy server. When I try to visit a website with the browser, it works, because of the proxy settings of the browser.

But when I want to install new software, there is no connection to the Internet, when I tipe in "apt-get update" for example.

Is there any posibility or setting to get access to the internet over a proxy?


Thank you!

Add the following lines to the file /etc/environment

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

Hi,

Very new to this. I have tried to edit the file as you have said, no authentication required.

export http_proxy=http://proxy.county.ac.uk:8080

This doesn't seem to do anything. Did you get it working??

Cheers,
Pete

apt seems to ignore the HTTP_PROXY environment variable.

You can make it work by putting

Code: Select all

Acquire::http::Proxy "http://yourproxyaddress:proxyport";

in a file placed in /etc/apt/conf.d (named similar to "10proxy" for example). It should also work when placed in /etc/apt/apt.conf but I don't remember if this file still exists on the latest Raspbian.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. Looks promising, but i'm not quite sure where exactly to add the line.

The structure i have is as follows;

/etc/apt/ - contains 3 files (sources.list, trustdb.gpg & trusted.gpg)
/etc/apt/apt.conf.d - contains 3 files (70debconf, 50raspi & 01autoremove)
/etc/apt/preferrences.d - empty
/etc/apt/sources.list.d - 1 file (raspi.list)
/etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d - empty

Do I create a new file or use one of these?

Many thanks,
Pete

Create a new file in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/ and name it "10proxy"; put inside the long line in my above post. Apt-get should work immediately after.

Wonderful. Thank you

Internal proxy. For internet use.

I'm getting an error using dillo; DNS failed to resolve domain\username

I have changed the file /etc/environment to read as follows;

Code: Select all

export http_proxy="http://domain\username:password@proxyip:port/"

This looks like a syntax error with my code, any suggestions?

Cheers,
Pete

Hi Guys,

Dillo doesn't like proxy servers I dont think. The above code works perfectly fine on the other richer browsers.

Hi guys,
I tried to go to the directory using "cd /etc/apt/apt.conf.d" but the terminal says "Not a directory"
To create the "10proxy" file there I have to go in there.
Cut and paste doesn't work, too. (Permission denied)

If I try to move the file to the Folder "apt.conf.d" using "mv 10proxy /etc/apt/apt.conf.d" the file goes to "/etc/apt" and get the name "apt.conf.d".

I don't understand this. I just want to have a Internet connection on my Raspi.

Many thanks

Not sure about what Linux distribution you're using, but try adding a "/" at the end of the path (after apt.conf.d) and prefix the commands with sudo in order to make sure it's not a permission problem.

[raspiworld]

Worked fine.

Thank you!

Hello, I've created the "10proxy" file and put the line said by VAXXi in it, but I still can't access apt.
I think it's because I need an username and password to connect in my proxy server.

There's something I can do to include the username and password?

Thank you.

At a guess

Code: Select all

Acquire::http::Proxy "http://yourusername:yourpassword@yourproxyaddress:yourproxyport";

Thank you. the apt-get works in my Raspi by setting the proxy.. Thank you

I used these steps to get proxy up and running -

viewtopic.php?f=28&t=136554&p=907699#p907699


then I create a blank file named 10proxy under /etc/apt/apt.conf.d and added this line :

Acquire::http::Proxy "http://yourproxyaddress:proxyport";



It works like charm !

Before anyone, I solved this problem myself. Just have to add proxy to wget in /etc/wgetrc

Hello The community !

I have a Pi 3B+ and a Zero W that both can wirelessly connect to a proxy : Fine
Both can ping Google, both can do apt-get update : Fine

BUT :
I have on these Pi LogitechMediaServer that is running and none of my Pi can connect to any internet Radio or Streaming plateform from the LMS when the Pi are connected to the Proxy.
I have the very same issue with other applications that need an internet connection.

Note that if connected to a non Proxy connection, LMS and any other applications can connect to Internet

So there should be some sort of indication to provide somewhere so that LMS can ALSO connect to Internet from the Proxy connection

Any idea ?

Thank you for your help.
