Simple HTTP proxy settings

My country got banned on Screenscraper.fr and I can’t figure out Tailscale. I can run a very simple proxy on my PC that gets rerouted through VPN. I would love to be able to connect to it via LAN address and port. I do this on my 3DS to connect to Pretendo network and it works great.

I just discovered that I can configure a proxy via the terminal.
Here’s what I did:

  1. Enable the “Virtual Terminal” option in Web Services.
  2. Connect to the terminal via a browser at http://device_ip:8080
  3. Create an environment file in the /etc folder:
    nano /etc/environment
  4. Enter the following into the file:
    HTTP_PROXY=http://proxy_ip:proxy_port
    HTTPS_PROXY=http://proxy_ip:proxy_port
    NO_PROXY=localhost,127.0.0.1
  5. Save the changes (Ctrl+X, y, Enter)
  6. Reboot (preferably via the device’s interface)

I’m not sure if this is the correct way to do it, but it worked. My device is an RG40XX H.

Can we have some kind of GUI for this? @xonglebongle? Please?

No, as it turns out, that was the wrong decision. I was just misled by a few coincidences. Never mind.

Oh my it works! I understand my mistake now. We need lowcases too:

HTTP_PROXY=http://proxy_ip:proxy_port
HTTPS_PROXY=http://proxy_ip:proxy_port
http_proxy=http://proxy_ip:proxy_port
https_proxy=http://proxy_ip:proxy_port
NO_PROXY=localhost,127.0.0.1,::1
no_proxy=localhost,127.0.0.1,::1

This support has now been added to Andromeda.
