ProxyMaster is now available at https://proxymaster.herokuapp.com

LINUX Proxy

The script in the repository sets/unsets proxy for most frequently used commands in the Ubuntu/Debian system.

  • Gnome system wide
  • Apt Package Installer
  • Environment
  • Terminal
  • Git
  • Docker

How to run

You need to have internet (working without proxy) to download the script: use mobile data and hotspot.

Using Browser

  • Open http://proxymaster.herokuapp.com and download the script.
  • Follow the instructions on the page to set proxy.

Using Terminal Only

  • Open terminal by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T
  • Install wget.
    sudo apt-get install wget
  • Download the repository.
    wget https://github.com/thealphadollar/set_proxy/archive/master.zip
  • Unzip the file.
    unzip master.zip
  • Change directory to the inflated archive folder.
    cd set_proxy-master/static
  • To set the proxy sudo bash set_proxy.sh -h [PROXY HOST] -p [PROXY PORT]
  • Enter proxy host (172.16.2.30 for KGP) and proxy port (8080 for KGP).
  • Voila, proxy set! Preferably restart the system, or at least restart the terminal session.

Going Home?

You can use the same script to remove proxy from your system when going to home. Just run following command in your terminal and restart system.

sudo bash set_proxy.sh -u

Test

Connect to the campus network; wifi or LAN.

  • Open www.google.com in browser
  • Install curl by running sudo apt-get install curl in the terminal then run curl www.google.com in the terminal
