proxy server settings in tinycorelinux

[shamurshamur]

I am behind  a proxy server and has to enter proxy server address to access internet.
i have read about how to enter proxy server settings  in FAQ , but that was bit obscure.

can somebody tell me how to do it in detail.  Also is there any gui  to enter it?

OK!!  i got it finally from here

http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php?topic=2653.msg13596#msg13596

But i want to make a request  to developer :

 As  tinycore depend  lot on internet to work , please add a GUI for adding proxy server settings.

Thanks a lot

Here's a another method to force tinycore to use proxy server by default for all applications .

Right after you see the desktop :

right click on  the desktop , on menu choose the logout option , a small window will appear , choose the option of "exit to prompt ".

on prompt enter the following commands :

tc@box:~$ export http_proxy="http://proxyserver:port"
tc@box:~$ export ftp_proxy="http://proxyserver:port"
tc@box:~$ export https_proxy="http://proxyserver:port"

this will set the proxies for http , ftp and https web addresses.

Now for logging in your desktop again type :

tc@box:~$ startx

Hey, being behind a proxy just means you need to enter its address and port in your browser or system settings. Both Windows and Mac have simple GUI for that, and browsers like FF also have their own. If you’re new to this, check out some basic guides here.
