How to check proxy settings via cmd?
I am a newbie and trying to know how to check proxy settings via command.
For instance in my school proxy settings are like the following.
How can I know this address in order to use the internet through school. I have the software installed and set to automatically run after startup but it's not working. Can anyone please help me with this?
In order to use the internet through school the machine must be placed into the "Automatic Proxy Configuration" mode, and set as the school's default system proxy. 1 Answer.
On Windows you would normally do this by going to Internet Options and selecting the button for Automatic Proxy Configuration. On Linux systems (including Ubuntu) you normally do this by running the following command in a terminal window. Sudo -i.e. And then running your desired software using the command "su -". The reason for needing the "-i" option is because without it you will be asked for a password, and this will not be accepted by a typical school's network If you don't know what "su -" means you might like to read the answers at this question. Note that this does not automatically configure any proxies, only allows you to change them manually - if you want automatic proxies you need to configure them with the school's normal web interface and then use the command above to reconfigure your Ubuntu system for that.
How to check proxy configuration using CMD?
I'm looking for a CMD instruction that allow me to check my proxy configuration.
For now I use the command : PS C:TOS> netsh winhttp show proxy. And get this output: Internet Properties. Proxy server address : 192.168.0.25:80
Proxy port number : 80. HTTP Proxy auto discovery timeout : 1000 milliseconds. Use automatic proxy configuration selection : False. Automatic proxy configuration : Enabled. SOCKS proxy configuration : Enabled. Specified by protocol : False. With this result, my Windows Internet explorer do not recognize my proxy. @mklement0 and @KriX answer are absolutely correct: They answer the question how to check proxy server, however there is more information to be gathered. After having read the documentation on aboutInternetExplorerproxy, Microsoft have done a great job of explaining it all thoroughly. If you would just read through there, everything should be clear.
For your particular case I would recommend two more things: As a first sanity test (because the other mentioned cmd-arguments might also do) - see if the same results also work with ping. For example ping google.com -n 4.8 will confirm or not your DNS settings.
