    How to Set Proxy Settings on Linux command line or Terminal

    In a Linux Like operating system, we have the variables like http_proxy,ftp_proxy, and https_proxy through which we can access the Internet via proxy on Linux console.

    All of the above mentioned variables are can be used with tools like elinks, wget, lynx, rsync, and others.

    I am assuming Linux servers that are behind the proxy servers and can get the Internet connection only via proxy settings.
