What are some common proxy errors I might encounter in Linux?

Some common proxy errors in Linux include 'Proxy Authentication Required', 'Connection Timed Out', and 'Bad Gateway'. Would you like to know how to fix any specific error?

Yes, what does 'Proxy Authentication Required' mean?

'Proxy Authentication Required' means that the proxy server requires a username and password to access the internet. You can usually fix this by entering your credentials in your network settings.

How do I enter my credentials in the terminal?

You can set your proxy credentials in the terminal by exporting the following variables: export http_proxy='http://username:password@proxyserver:port' and export https_proxy='http://username:password@proxyserver:port'. Replace the placeholders with your actual details.

What if I still can't connect after entering my credentials?

If you're still having issues, check your network configuration, ensure the proxy server is reachable, and verify that your firewall settings aren't blocking the connection.
