I have proxy set in in my office laptop for work at office. I am trying to connect to wireless at home but it is not letting me do this. I tried steps in the link below without any succes. http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-configure-ubuntu-desktop-to-use-your-proxy-server.html

I am able to change the firefox setting and it is working perfect.

When doing apt-get through terminal it tries to go through proxy. I see that the echo $http_proxy still have the proxy address.

I tried following:

cat /etc/apt/apt.conf This file does not contain anything. gedit /etc/bash.bashrc has no mention of proxy.

I set the network proxy none, but nothing happened.

Wrote acquire::http:: proxy "false"; in /etc/apt/apt.conf, I get this acquire::http:: proxy "false";

What is wrong with my settings? Thanks

You most likely have http_proxy set either as a system-wide setting (either in /etc/profile or in /etc/bash.bashrc) or as your private setting (in ~/profile, ~/bashrc or wherever your sysadmin decided to put it).

You can get-rid of that per bash session using unset:

unset http_proxy
unset https_proxy

Or you disable it permanently when you locate where exactly it is being set.
