Runnning

• Run $ proxyon <username> <password> <host> <port> <proxyless-domains> when behind a proxy

  • The proxyless-domains parameter is a list of domains/urls/ip that should not be proxied
  • To reduce all this typing at prompt work, you can add the following to .bashrc

      function myproxy(){
          proxyon <username> <password> <host> <port> <proxyless-domains>
      }
  

  make sure to replace the <...> parameters with their equivalent values
• Run $ proxyoff when not behind a proxy
