How do I remove proxy settings from terminal?

How do I turn off proxy in Linux terminal?

I am very new to command line.

The problem is that I'm stuck in China and the proxy is not working, I have to use a proxy IP to browse the web. I have tried the ip -proxy and set environment variables but the proxy setting only changed for an hour.0. If anyone has better idea please share with me!
Thanks. The following variables provide information about network settings on Linux or BSD systems: httpproxy. Httpsproxy. Httpsusername. Httpspassword. Ftpproxy. Ftpusername. Ftppassword. Export httpproxy=' command: httpproxy -- describes the proxy server for HTTP and HTTPS.

How do I completely remove a proxy?

I have an app (lets call it proxy) that's configured for only http and tcp. I want to completely remove this proxy from my OS and any apps that may be relying on this proxy for networking. It's not that I don't trust this particular proxy, but I'd rather do everything possible to make sure I'm clean.

How do I disable it so that the network can connect without it? If your proxy is set up in network.proxy)socksremotedns (as per its help), you can unset it by running sudo -E /etc/rc.local:
# set SOCKSDNS to none, or use a null name. # SOCKSDNS="none". Sudo -E /etc/rc.local --exec echo "SOCKSDNS = none" Replace /etc/rc.local with /sbin/rc.local or whatever it's called in your OS (and replace 'none' with a real DNS entry if you want).

You can also run sudo apt-get --purge remove (or remove --purge) for all proxy settings, including SOCKS, or the SOCKS setting itself (if there are more than one SOCKS proxy).

How to remove proxy from Ubuntu?

Why there are so many different proxies available in the Ubuntu repositry and some of them are useless? What's the difference between them

What is the purpose of them? Where can I get good source of information about different proxies in ubuntu repositry? Can I switch between them using GUI or script

There are a number of reasons that you would want to use an alternate proxy. Some common scenarios: You have more than one network at home, where you use a modem and a LAN, but you also use your phone and/or 3G modem to access the web. Some services on the internet provide better access for some users than others. For example, when Netflix launched they wanted to make their service available for anyone, but only at certain times, and only to a few people at a time. But all the normal people need to be able to watch their movies at any time. So instead of having all normal users use their real IP addresses when they use their account, they wanted to give them a different IP address, where only people who pay them money could access the account
When you are in an office with firewall restrictions or when the connection uses NAT (for example, most of the Comcast users in the United States). The connection provider (such as a telephone company) has bandwidth concerns that limit what sites or what speed you can get to them. By using a tunneling proxy like Tor, they get free access to your computers. Many services will accept IP addresses from all over the globe, allowing you to access those services from anywhere in the world
It doesn't really matter how you use the proxy. You can download it from an online location and run it with a graphical front end like GProxifier or uGet. But you can also just download the software from Tor and run it from the command line. All of these options will hide the fact that you are using a proxy from the people you're talking to, as long as you are the only one accessing the proxy. Once you have other people attempting to access your proxy, your normal IP address will come through, so anyone monitoring network traffic for that IP will know you're using it for something illegal.

jhutchins: look in the gnome menu, or you can change the settings in /etc/environment.

jhutchins: or use the config gui in /etc/default. ikonia: Thanks. How can I enable my touchpad to detect left and right click instead of just up and down? The "Enable Touchpad" button on my synaptics touchpad is greyed out. Bragex9: it's normally a bios setting - if the bios has the option, you'll find it under function, where the touchpad is normally controlled. Bragex9: are you sure the touchpad isn't working

Yes. I can only move the mouse with left click and I can only scroll by dragging the mouse. It doesn't work when I do two-finger swiping.
ok - so is it enabled in your bios. No idea, this is a laptop I did not buy, it's old. Bragex9: old laptops sometimes have a very small touchpad, if it's a small touchpad, you'll need to look at the function to find it. Bragex9: what version of ubuntu are you running

13.10 Bragex9: ok, so there should be a function in the function section of the bios where you set that. Bragex9: or you can use the config gui in /etc/default/. or try the other settings from that. it may be the way it's called is different, depending on the make/model of the laptop. This is a new laptop I bought. The old one is the same and it had the option to select between left and right clicks. I did not see that option on this model. I think I will have to dig into the bios on this one.
