Proxy setting on FreeBSD

First, knowing your Shell.
to check your Shell, use this command :

# echo $SHELL

if you use /bin/sh

# cd
# ee .shrc

add this :

export http_proxy="http://username:password@host:port/"
export ftp_proxy=$http_proxy

if you use /bin/bash.

# cd
# ee .bashrc

add this :

export http_proxy="http://username:password@host:port/"
export ftp_proxy=$http_proxy

if you use /bin/csh.

# cd
# ee .cshrc

add this :

setenv http_proxy http://username:password@host:port/
setenv ftp_proxy=$http_proxy

Then, if that step about proxy setting above still dont work. You can set manually, one by one. But I recomend you to don't erase all configuration on your Shell, which you typed last time. Because it's used to set automatically after reboot or halt. Follow this command to set manually your proxy !

in /bin/bash and /bin/sh : 

# export http_proxy="http://username:password@host:port/" 
# export ftp_proxy=$http_proxy

in /bin/csh :

# setenv http_proxy http://username:password@host:port/
# setenv ftp_proxy=$http_proxy
