How to set system-wide proxy address using shell script?
I want to set system Proxy address through my Qt application. So i was wondering if i could write a script which can be executed by my application every time to change the proxy address.
I tried :
#! /bin/sh
echo "# Generated by Application"
export $1
echo "Proxy Address ${1}
but this script was not successful. I think it was unable to execute "export" command.
Can anyone help me resolving this issue ?
Try this:
#! /bin/sh
echo "# Generated by Application"
export http_proxy='http://$1/'
export ftp_proxy='http://$1/'
Note:
- your argument string($1) should be like this
user_id:[email protected]:proxy_port
- If you do not use userid and password then argument string($1) should be
proxy.server.addr:proxy_port
- you can export https_proxy and socks_proxy if you need.
- To see if your proxy is set or not use
env | grep proxy
To change system proxy using shell script try these:
gsettings set org.gnome.system.proxy mode 'manual'
gsettings set org.gnome.system.proxy.http enabled true
gsettings set org.gnome.system.proxy.http host 'proxy.server.addr'
gsettings set org.gnome.system.proxy.http port proxy_port
If you have user authentication pass and id
gsettings set org.gnome.system.proxy.http authentication-user 'user_id'
gsettings set org.gnome.system.proxy.http authentication-password 'password'
To use http_proxy for all other proxy
gsettings set org.gnome.system.proxy use-same-proxy true
To set bypass proxy for any host
gsettings set org.gnome.system.proxy ignore-hosts "['localhost', '127.0.0.1', 'all', 'other', 'hosts']"
