How do I properly set proxy settings for my network? or What's the best way to set proxy settings on

yo, i had the same issue last week!

first, check if your proxy even works—try pinging the server. then, set proxy settings in both browser AND system-wide to avoid conflicts.

btw, if u use Chrome, it sometimes overrides system settings. go to chrome://settings/system and adjust there.

linux? just edit /etc/environment or use export http_proxy in terminal. easy peasy.
