University WIFI - ian9114 - 06-14-2019

I can access the internet on firefox using the university WIFI which uses manual proxy configuration by configuring the proxy settings within firefox but the operating system itself such as the terminal cannot use that connection how can I bypass that because I have tried looking solutions online but with no positive results

Open a Terminal:

Code:
echo -e "http_proxy=http://192.168.43.100:3128/\nhttps_proxy=https://192.168.43.100:3128/" | sudo tee -a /etc/environment

Code:
sudo netplan apply

Replace IP address and proxy port with your University ones, then reboot.

Thanks Jerry.
Just for personal knowledge, can this be done in the network card "GUI"?
(not on linux machine at the moment).

I can't see an option for it, so I'm guessing no.
