How do I find my proxy server address Chrome?

How do I find my proxy username and password in Windows?

Some years ago I had an issue with the proxy settings that Windows had and got me a good laugh.

I set it to not connect and in doing so set the proxy settings on the system but I wasn't aware that the proxy settings were saved in some other file and even then the settings weren't saved permanently until recently. As such when I went to set the system back up the same information was needed. Luckily a quick search turned up this handy little utility and now I know how to add a proxy for any user of the system, all of which is great except when it came time to find the proxy username and password to use with the system. In my case it's the proxy settings that have been set that I can no longer access since a proxy has been set for that computer but I don't remember the information necessary to get back in to the system. How do you remember the information and make it stick?

First off, the most direct way to do what you need is to just remove the registry entry for whatever profile you used (regedit/regedit should be fine for both 32-bit and 64-bit). You can then create a new user account and repeat the same steps from the original user account. Note that some programs may be hard-coded to look at the existing registry for the proxy setting, so if you delete those then they'll need to be fixed.

Second, you could go the route of running regedit.exe and looking in HKCU/Software/Proxy, but that would likely be a much more involved process than just deleting the existing entry.

Finally, and perhaps easiest, you could use the following command to look at any and all known accounts on the system. It may be worth trying a few of them just to see what works and what doesn't.

How do I find my proxy server address using CMD?

or any other cmd?

I think I have a problem with the installation script. h0p3x: The proxy details should be included in the "Connection" field of dpkg.log as part of the apt command used to install the package; "less /var/log/dpkg.log" and look in that particular line. That will be where you can read it if it's been reported
pk: so "netstat -plunt" should show it if there. TJ- I have used it but it just showing me all processes but no specific thing. ok I'll have a look. pk: if that doesn't help, I'm guessing you could use Wireshark which will probably see the connection when traffic is sent to it (eg via HTTP headers) but it won't report the source address so you need to follow it back over that. Again 'netstat -plunt' will probably be enough Hi, the software ubuntu-restricted-extras install by default firefox which I can't uninstall or deactivate, how to remove it or at least deactivate it from starting? Sorry, I did not see my previous message I missed that. I mean, the default firefox that comes with my current ubuntu version installed by default I can't uninstall it or deactivate it, iirc firefox start it. s/,/./ I mean firefox is started by it, I wanted to change that for a test purpose. Sveta, there are no extra packages after 16.04, try to remove the whole firefox from /usr/bin, as your current firefox was installed by adding flash and firefox in there, before that I could remove the 2 extra entries oerheks: thanks for the confirmation, I guess my last question: is there some file where I can configure ubuntu to tell it not to do this?

How do I find my proxy server address?

As far as I can tell, the problem is that I have no idea where the proxy server address is supposed to come from.

I run the command with sudo to make sure everything is being passed correctly but to no avail./pip1.py -i
Traceback (most recent call last): File ".py", line 14, in urllib.request. This method works for me now in Ubuntu:
Cat /etc/apt.conf.d/proxy.conf
Acquire::";. Where user is your actual IP address and proxyserver:port is the user:pass of your proxy. I haven't had any issues as of yet.
