apt-get Through A Proxy Server
May 19th, 2008I previously mentioned how I couldn’t get Mepis to update through a proxy server with authentication.
Well I tried this suggestion which works fine for both apt-get and synaptic package manager. Just add this entry to your /etc/apt/apt.conf file:
ACQUIRE {
http::proxy "http://DOMAIN\username:password@IP:port/"
}
