I have heard that Proxy Support in Trasmission has been removed as of version 2.12. Is it possible to use proxy by any other method?

I'm mostly curious, but why aren't network interfaces in /dev? Are there any other kinds of devices that aren't represented as a node under /dev?

So I am running Ubuntu Studio on my laptop and what do I do to connect to a proxy? I search for proxy and in network settings their is no PROXY tab. What are key words in the tabs to look for?

There are several service providers out there that allow a user to circumvent firewalls or anonymize their web access.  Some of them use proxies, some use VPNs. Most people say that VPNs usually work better than proxies. They are also generally more expensive.  For example, a proxy will grant an international user access to Pandora.com, but not Hulu.com. A VPN will work for both.  How does a proxy work differently than a VPN and why does that make a difference?

I have tried put in apt config Acquire::http::proxy, and in Network>Network proxy with and without user:password@server:port and using environment variables http_proxy and https_proxy. Nothing seems to work, not even a single proxy authentication popup window.  The only proxy configuration working is within Firefox Edit> Preferences> Advanced> Network> Connection> Settings> Manual Proxy Configuration.   Using gconf to manually set the proxy doesn't work   Using Synaptic in previous Ubuntu versions was too simple.

I've grown quite fond of HTTP reverse proxies in our development environment and found the DNS based virtual host reverse proxy quite useful. Having only one port (and the standard one) open on the firewall makes it much easier for management.  I'd like to find something similar to do SSH connections but haven't had much luck. I'd prefer not to simply use SSH tunneling since that requires opening port ranges other than the standard. Is there anything out there that can do this?  Could HAProxy do this?

Banshee has stopped connecting to the amazon mp3 store. It used to work fine but now I get the following error message from Banshee:  Unable to load page Cannot resolve proxy hostname ()   This problem occurred while loading the URL   I'm running Banshee 2.4.1 and 12.04LTS. My internet connection is fine (I'm using it to post this). Amazon say there's nothing wrong with their server - it seems to be me...Any ideas?

For the command   sudo apt-get update   I get following error:  W: Failed to fetch http://ch.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/maverick-updates/multiverse/binary-i386/Packages.gz   407  Proxy Authentication Required (The ISA Server requires authorization to fulfill the request. Access to the Web Proxy filter is denied. )   I am running Ubuntu 10.10 installed on Windows XP using VirtualBox. For Internet connections I am using proxy server with an authentication. I tried to use gnome-network-proxy tool to set proxy settings system-wide.   After that /etc/environment has been updated by http_proxy variable with the format http://my_proxy:port/, there were no authentication data.  I checked this with Firefox. Browser asked my for login and password and everything was working fine. It was unfortunately not the case for apt-get. I have also tried to do as described . Unfortunately it does not work.  May it be somehow related to the fact that a proxy is in a Windows domain, any ideas?  My proxy name is http-proxy. Is '-' a special character here?

I have an issue with my windows 7 machine using a lot of bandwith while connected to the internet. I'm trying to limit the bandwith by using Opera in Turbo mode, but some other program is sucking down content and emptying my GPRS mobile plan.   Is there some way I can control which applications are allowed to use bandwith while on GPRS? Preferable only Opera should be able to use the network.   Thanks.

I have an internet connection that I'd like to be enabled only during the day. With multiple household internet devices, this would need to be something disabled at the level of the router.  I don't believe the router offers this sort of functionality, but I'm reasonably familiar with setting up web servers and the like, and I'm wondering if I can set up some sort of proxy server on the internet that the router must go through and have that proxy only active at certain times of day.  It's a bit vague I know, but is something like this even possible?  If not, are there other solutions to the problem?

Possible Duplicate:          I sometimes work outside and are using a 3G usb connection with quite a limited data allowance.  I want some fast and easy way to temporary block all incoming and outgoing traffic in windows firewall except for chrome to be sure that Dropbox or something else is not using up my data.  I've tried to set Windows Firewall Properties to "Block" which gives "Outgoing/Incoming connections that do not match a rule are blocked".  Problem: There are many allow-rules like Dropbox that would "override" the block. And I don't want to disable all rules and then enable them, since there are some that I want disabled even when I get to the office...  Any suggestions?  Thanks!

When exactly do I need to use a proxy with openlayers? I've done a lot of reading on this but can't seem to find a definitive answer. Wondering if this is the route of my problems.  For instance, if I have one server running Geoserver (WFS) on port 8080 and Apache (serving OpenLayers) on port 80 would I need to use a proxy?  If the servers are physically separate would I need to use proxy?

When I try to install a software using Ubuntu Software center I get:  Failed to download repository information Check Your Internet connection   When I try to do a apt-get install something, I get:  407  Proxy Authentication Required   I use a proxy server that requires a user-name and a password. I have set my systems proxy manually, by plugging in the required numbers in the Networks proxy and applied it system wide. I guess the problem now is plugging in my user-name and password.  When I use INTERNET via Mozilla, it specifically asks me for my user-name and password.

My company uses an HTTP proxy and our various Ubuntu 12.04 servers therefore need to be configured properly, namely by setting \etc\apt\apt.conf.d\80proxy to:  Acquire::http::Proxy "http://proxy.mycompany.com:80";  Acquire::http::No-Cache true;   Now, since a few days, this method suddenly stopped working: I run into sum mismatch errors. I have tried all the usual tricks found on stackoverflow or on the web, among others:  sudo rm -fR /var/lib/apt/lists/*     sudo apt-get clean   But nothing seems to work. I even switched to a FTP server, without any luck. What's a radical solution to this problem? Is it likely that the proxy server has some kind of issue? What could it be?  Using Ubuntu 12.04

I am unable to connect to the package repository server using MiKTeX due to a proxy error. How would I go about installing a package from a local repository? I am trying to install the package beamer. Where do I actually find the file to download?

I'm currently doing some testing work with TOR and ran in to a small problem. Tor's client only supports receiving connections through a SOCKS5 protocol, but the applications I'm using only support HTTP Proxy Protocals.  Is it possible to put something in the middle? So that for example it went.  My Program (HTTP Only) > HTTP to SOCKS Converter > Tor SOCKS5 Server
