Hi Guys

am wondering if it's possible to setup a proxy for lets say anon surfing and
still be able to do the updates online. In the past I tried and apt couldn't
get the upgrades forcing me to uninstall the proxy I had in place

it is possible. The proxy at my school does.

But since you probably dont attend my school (which is a senior high
school), you could try Codeens CDN network, but some of the proxies
block apt, some dont, some block parts of apt.

Hi james,

To get apt to work through a proxy put this

Acquire::http::Proxy "http://proxy_iproxy_port";

into a file, change the proxy_ip and proxy_port to suit your setup, and
save it as /etc/apt/apt.conf

apt will then use the proxy when fetching packages.

hth,
Lisa

Hi cj

Been 20+ years since I finished high school. Do you know any in the repos that
are likely to work? Or can apt be made to work with them? Actually noticed a
reply by someone else showing how to get apt to work with a proxy (thx Lisa)
which I'll try later
