How to set a proxy for terminal without exporting the environment variable?
I am using a Ubuntu machine and I would like to do that?
If it not possible, are there any apps to help me do that?
Thank you.

- be more precise, you have two options, either using iptables or using a default configuration. it's missing what you want to afforddjdomi– djdomi2022-09-12 17:09:49 +00:00Commented Sep 12, 2022 at 17:09

You can always set up the variable just for the command you want to run, for instance, you can do the following:
$ HTTPS_PROXY=http://localhost:3128 curl https://external.domain.com/ And curl will use the HTTPS_PROXY defined right there and only once.
If you want to set the environment variable, it will work for the whole Terminal Session, but not for any other user/system - it won't affect your cron jobs, for instance.
- This is a very helpful answer and I am very thankful.1n4ho12– 1n4ho122022-10-31 22:21:16 +00:00Commented Oct 31, 2022 at 22:21

- Are you using the default zsh? that's just a lame shel IMHO, change the default to bash.Marcel– Marcel2022-11-02 12:05:19 +00:00Commented Nov 2, 2022 at 12:05
