Proxy Settings In Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.x

I am trying to get the system to use a proxy for some things and not for other things.

Requirements

  • Use proxy for Internet websites
  • Don’t use proxy for Intranet websites
  • Don’t use proxy for private RFC 1918 address space
  • Make sure settings are there for the next time I log in

How to Make the Settings Persistent

If you are using BASH

  • type at the command line:
vi ~/.bashrc
  • press the ‘i’ key for insert
  • Scroll to the bottom
  • Create new line by pressing “enter”
  • Paste in:
export https_proxy="http://proxyblah.com:8080"
export http_proxy="http://proxy.blah.com:8080"
export no_proxy=".foo.bar.com"
  • type
:wq
  • Press “enter”

How Use them for a One Time Use

Just enter

export https_proxy="http://proxyblah.com:8080"
export http_proxy="http://proxy.blah.com:8080"
export no_proxy=".foo.bar.com"

But next time you log in, the settings will not be there.
