#4 Re: running apt behind firewall proxy with auth Posted by muondude (206.117.xx.xx) on Sat 28 Apr 2007 at 16:37 Understood.... but unfortunately, I'm not the one administering the proxy, etc. My systems run within an Intranet administered by others and they have recently clamped down on the network big-time. I'm trying to convince them to allow certain traffic from internal Machine X to a specific external machine Y (Debian mirror only) without having to login to the proxy. The Firewall/proxy admin folks seem to be swamped addressing the hell they have created (primarily due to the fact that most of the systems within the Intranet are windoze boxes). We have run our own internal mirror server - but there were problems with that - but I'm thinking that this might be the best option. thanks for your suggestions. For now my systems sit cut off from their updates/upgrades. :-(
