Manual 'Unproxy' working back at home

In my previous post, I have detailed how proxy works in my Lubuntu system. In this post I am going to  described how I disabled the proxy when I got back home.

Dropbox

Dropbox seems to be the easiest to work with. Just change the preference in the  proxy to no proxy, and it works just fine without any hassle.


Chrome

Chrome which gave me lots of pain, seemed to be working just fine. After doing 

sudo vim /etc/chromium-browser/default


I just commented out the following lines:

export http_proxy="http://rushadf:0302@127.0.01:3128/"


With these, Chrome worked just fine. 



Synaptic and "apt-get"

Typed the following command in the terminal:

sudo vi /etc/bash.bashr

Then commented out the following two lines:

export http_proxy="http://username:password@proxyhost:port/"
export ftp_proxy="http://username:password@proxyhost:port/"


"apt-get" still did not work.


Then I typed the following in the terminal:

sudo vi /etc/apt/apt.conf

Then commented out the following:

Acquire::http::Proxy "http://rushadf:0302@127.0.0.1:3128";

Now, apt-get and synaptic works just fine!
