Switching-Proxies

Switch proxies in ubuntu system quickly just by one key-press.

  1. Make a file similar to the sample.txt replacing only your proxy settings in it. (Try to make the file in home directory so that u can avoid the cd commands while changing directories in terminal for further steps.)

  2. Remember if your proxy credentials contains symbols in it like !,@,# , etc. then type \ before it. (escape character)

  3. If proxy doesn't require username and password, then remove username:password\@ part.

  4. Then open terminal Ctrl + Alt + T and go to the directry which contains the .txt file by cd commands.

  5. Type chmod +x filename.extension (makes the file executable).

You are done !!

Now to change the internal proxy anytime just go to the directory containing the .txt file and open it by ./filename.extension .Type your system password and then proxy is changed.
