How to properly configure wget proxy in /etc/wgetrc? or Best way to set up wget proxy via /etc/wgetrc

Hey, had the same issue last week! Turns out /etc/wgetrc needs root permissions to edit, and sometimes the file is read-only. Did you use sudo when editing? Also, check if there’s a .wgetrc in your home dir overriding it.

Try running `wget --debug` to see if it’s even reading the proxy settings. Might give you a clue.
