README

        
## WEBAPP

ProxyMaster is now available at https://proxymaster.herokuapp.com

# LINUX Proxy 

The script in the repository sets/unsets proxy for most frequently used commands in the

Ubuntu/Debian system.

- Gnome system wide

- Apt Package Installer

- Environment

- Terminal

- Git

- Docker

## How to run

You need to have internet (working without proxy) to download the script: use mobile data and hotspot.

### Using Browser

- Open `http://proxymaster.herokuapp.com` and download the script.

- Follow the instructions on the page to set proxy.

### Using Terminal Only

- Open terminal by pressing `Ctrl+Alt+T`

- Install wget. 

    `sudo apt-get install wget`

- Download the repository.

    `wget https://github.com/thealphadollar/set_proxy/archive/master.zip`

- Unzip the file.

    `unzip master.zip`

- Change directory to the inflated archive folder.

    `cd set_proxy-master/static`

- To set the proxy 

    `sudo bash set_proxy.sh -h [PROXY HOST] -p [PROXY PORT]`

- Enter `proxy host` (172.16.2.30 for KGP) and `proxy port` (8080 for KGP).

- Voila, proxy set! Preferably restart the system, or at least restart the terminal session.

## Going Home?

You can use the same script to remove proxy from your system when going to

home. Just run following command in your terminal and restart system.

`sudo bash set_proxy.sh -u`

## Test

Connect to the campus network; wifi or LAN.

- Open `www.google.com` in browser

- Install curl by running `sudo apt-get install curl` in the terminal then run `curl www.google.com` in the terminal

If all the above steps pass, congratulations!
