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

Lol, wget proxy /etc/wgetrc can be finicky. Did you check the file permissions? Run `ls -l /etc/wgetrc` to see if it’s readable by your user.

Also, maybe your proxy’s just down? Test with `curl -x http://myproxy:8080 http://example.com` to rule that out.
