How to permanently disable http_proxy

  • 772

When I remove proxy from System/Network and apply it system wide it still remains when working in console. When I run:

env | grep proxy

it prints:

http_proxy=http://proxy.studnet.lan:8080
ftp_proxy=ftp://proxy.studnet.lan:8080
socks_proxy=socks://proxy.studnet.lan:8080
https_proxy=https://proxy.studnet.lan:8080

I could remove it with:

unset http_proxy
unset ftp_proxy
unset socks_proxy
unset https_proxy

but it's not permanent, when I reopen terminal these proxy variables are again setted.

How to remove them permanently?

  1. Make sure that those variables are not declared in any of the below files:

    • ~/.bashrc
    • /etc/bash.bashrc
    • /etc/environment

    If they are, it'd be better if you remove those lines.

    However, if you're unable to find them, then put the unset lines you've mentioned in your ~/.bashrc file.

    Be sure to change the method dropdown from "manual" to "none". This will erase everything - you may need to restart the machine after doing this.
