Troubleshooting: How to Use apt-get and wget Behind A Proxy Server
Rating: 0.0/5 (0 vote cast)
In this video I demonstrate how to configure your Linux (in my case Ubuntu Server) Box so that wget and apt-get work when/if you are behind a proxy server. This is probably not a common occurrence for most people, but anyone behind a proxy server knows how difficult things can often be. We use a proxy server at the school I teach at to monitor traffic, so I made this video specifically for my students. The proxy used at my school is 10.4.0.253 port 8080, and throughout the video I use these proxy numbers. Just plug in your proxy IP address and port # where I have and hopefully this fix should work for you as well. Apt-get and wget are the most common was of downloading to your machine so getting them to work is extremely important. Hopefully this tutorial helps.
