HOW TO - Setup proxy on Raspberry PI using PAC files - Raspberry Pi Forums


hi all,

"how to" on setting proxy on raspberry pi when

1) proxy uses pac file , http://school-proxy.com:8080/proxy.pac
2) requires authenticate username , password

now, followed : viewtopic.php?f=28&t=18634
works when don't have pac file. did , didn't work.

so, did learning , found purpose of pac file. in layman terms, lookup list has company's or school's or institution's proxy servers mentioned. let's environment has 10 subnet , each subnet has it's own proxy server. pac file used client machine lookup proxy server assigned specific subnet.

so, fetched pac file, typing exact proxy url in browser. : http://school-proxy.com:8080/proxy.pac
downloaded pac file , able find proxy server assigned ip / subnet.
1 had that, pretty simple.

used nice tool called pi-proxy can downlaoded https://pi-proxy.net/
typed in exact proxy server's hostname assigned ip / subnet.
specified port.
put in credentials, enabled it, , rebooted pi once asked to.

, walla, bob's uncle !!!
