Proxy Configuration Script

This Bash script provides a simple and interactive way to configure proxy settings on your system. It allows you to set the HTTP and HTTPS proxy settings for /etc/environment and Docker's systemd service.

Features

• Interactive prompts for the proxy IP address and port.
• Input validation for ensuring a valid IPv4 address and a port number between 1 and 65535.
• Option to display current proxy settings without making changes (--show or -s).
• Option to confirm changes before applying them (yes or no).
• Log file (/var/log/proxy_config.log) for tracking configuration changes and troubleshooting.

Usage

1. Clone the repository or download the script.
2. Make the script executable: chmod +x configure_proxy.sh
3. Run the script: ./configure_proxy.sh

Options

• To display current proxy settings: ./configure_proxy.sh --show or ./configure_proxy.sh -s
• To confirm changes before applying: ./configure_proxy.sh --confirm or ./configure_proxy.sh -c

Troubleshooting

Check the log file (/var/log/proxy_config.log) for detailed information about configuration changes.

Test

curl -v -x https://[proxy.ip]:[port] https://www.netskope.com

Example

./configure_proxy.sh

Follow the interactive prompts to enter the proxy IP address and port. Confirm the changes when prompted.
