According to Wikipedia:
- In computer networks, a proxy server is a server (a computer system or an application) that acts as an intermediary for requests from clients seeking resources from other servers.
HTTPS MITM proxies
When debugging HTTPS connections it is sometimes useful to intercept them outside of the browser. In order for the TLS MITM to work you need to trust a certificate authority of the proxy either in your browser or system-wide.

Environment variables
This article or section needs expansion.
/etc/environment
and /etc/environment.d/*.conf
or ~/.pam_environment
and ~/.config/environment.d/*.conf
. (Discuss in Talk:Proxy server)Some programs, such as wget and (used by pacman) curl, use environment variables of the form protocol_proxy
to determine the proxy for a given protocol (e.g. HTTP, FTP, ..).
Below is an example on how to set these variables in a shell:
Some programs look for the all caps version of the environment variables.
If the proxy environment variables are to be made available to all users and all applications, the above mentioned export commands may be added to a script, say proxy.sh
inside /etc/profile.d/
. The script has to be then made executable. This method is helpful while using a desktop environment like Xfce which does not provide an option for proxy configuration. For example, Chromium browser will make use of the variables set using this method while running XFCE.
Alternatively, there is a tool named proxyman-gitAUR which claims to configure system-wide proxy settings easily. It also handles proxy configurations of other software like git, npm, Dropbox, etc. The project is inspired from Alan Pope's idea of making a script.
Alternatively you can automate the toggling of the variables by adding a function to your .bashrc
(thanks to Alan Pope for original script idea)
Omit username or password if they are not needed.
As an alternative, you may want to use the following script.Change the strings YourUserName
, ProxyServerAddress:Port
, LocalAddress
and LocalDomain
to match your own data, then edit your ~/.bashrc
to include the edited functions. Any new bash window will have the new functions. In existing bash windows, type source ~/.bashrc
.You may prefer to put function definitions in a separate file like functions
then add source functions
to .bashrc
instead of putting everything in .bashrc
. You may also want to change the name 'myProxy' into something short and easy to write.
Keep proxy through sudo
If the proxy environment variables are set for the user only they will get lost when running commands with sudo (or when programs use sudo internally). Omnioutliner pro 5 0 2 download free.
A way to prevent that is to add the following line to a sudo configuration file:
Automation with network managers
- NetworkManager cannot change the environment variables.
- netctl could set-up these environment variables but they would not be seen by other applications as they are not child of netctl.
About libproxy
libproxy (which is available in the extra repository) is an abstraction library which should be used by all applications that want to access a network resource. It still is in development but could lead to a unified and automated handling of proxies in GNU/Linux if widely adopted.
The role of libproxy is to read the proxy settings from different sources and make them available to applications which use the library. The interesting part with libproxy is that it offers an implementation of the Web Proxy Autodiscovery Protocol and an implementation of Proxy Auto-Config that goes with it.
The /usr/bin/proxy
binary takes URL(s) as argument(s) and returns the proxy/proxies that could be used to fetch this/these network resource(s).

fails .As of 06/04/2009 libproxy is required by libsoup. It is then indirectly used by the midori browser.
Web proxy options
- Squid is a very popular caching/optimizing proxy
- Privoxy is an anonymizing and ad-blocking proxy
- tinyproxy is a small, efficient HTTP/SSL proxy daemon
- For a simple proxy, ssh with port forwarding can be used
Simple Proxy with SSH
Connect to a server (HOST) on which you have an account (USER) as follows
For PORT, choose some number which is not an IANA registered port. This specifies that traffic on the local PORT will be forwarded to the remote HOST. ssh will act as a SOCKS server. Software supporting SOCKS proxy servers can simply be configured to connect to PORT on localhost.
Using a SOCKS proxy
There are two cases:
- the application you want to use handles SOCKS5 proxies (for example Firefox), then you just have to configure it to use the proxy.
- the application you want to use does not handle SOCKS proxies, then you can try to use tsocks or proxychains-ng.
In Firefox, you can use the SOCKS proxy in the menu Preferences > Network > Settings. Choose Manual Proxy Configuration, and set the SOCKS Host (and only this one, make sure the other fields, such as HTTP Proxy or SSL Proxy are left empty). For example, if a SOCKS5 proxy is running on localhost port 8080, put 127.0.0.1
in the SOCKS Host field, 8080
in the Port field, and validate.
If using proxychains-ng, the configuration takes place in /etc/proxychains.conf
. You may have to uncomment the last line (set by default to use Tor), and replace it with the parameters of the SOCKS proxy. For example, if you are using the same SOCKS5 proxy as above, you will have to replace the last line by:
Then, proxychains-ng can be launched with
Where program
can be any program already installed on your system (e.g. xterm, gnome-terminal, etc).
If using tsocks, the configuration takes place in /etc/tsocks.conf
. See tsocks.conf(5) for the options. An example minimum configuration looks like this:
curl and pacman
You may set the all_proxy
environment variable to let curl and pacman (which uses curl) use your socks5 proxy:
Proxy settings on GNOME3
Some programs like Chromium and Firefox can use the settings stored by GNOME. These settings can be modified through the gnome-control-center front end and also through gsettings.
This configuration can also be set to automatically execute when NetworkManager connects to specific networks, by using the proxydriverAUR package.
Microsoft NTLM proxy
In a Windows network, NT LAN Manager (NTLM) is a suite of Microsoft security protocols which provides authentication, integrity, and confidentiality to users.
cntlmAUR from the AUR stands between your applications and the NTLM proxy, adding NTLM authentication on-the-fly. You can specify several 'parent' proxies and Cntlm will try one after another until one works. All authenticated connections are cached and reused to achieve high efficiency.
Configuration
Change settings in /etc/cntlm.conf
as needed, except for the password. Then run:
This will generate encrypted password hashes according to your proxy hostname, username and password.
Edit /etc/cntlm.conf
again and include all three generated hashes, then enablecntlm.service
.
To test settings, run:
Usage
Use 127.0.0.1:port
or localhost:port
as a proxy adress. port
matches the Listen
parameter in /etc/cntlm.conf
, which by default is 3128
.
