Hello,

I don't use proxies, so I don't know if there isn't a tool. However, if
that is the case, then I guess the team hasn't thought it's required –
and to be honest, you are the first one to ask one.

If you want to make Xubuntu better for those who need a GUI to set up a
proxy, please propose something – like which GUI you would prefer and
for what reasons – and start a discussion. (Telling our volunteers the
current situation is "so bad" isn't a helpful attitude, and likely won't
yield the results you are looking for).

Waiting for your proposal and contribution to the project!

Cheers,
Pasi

If you are using Firefox to access sites through a proxy (E.g. at work),
you can get to a proxy set-up as follows:

* In Firefox, click on the Open Menu icon (3 parallel lines, at far right)
* Click on on Preferences
* Click on Advanced
* Click on Network
* Click on Connection

By default, Firefox is set up for No Proxy. Have at it.

One alternative is to create some envronment variables like it is described
inthe first section of
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Proxy_settings

They even refer it as a good solution for XFCE. It was what I used whem I
was a XFCE or xubuntu user.

Another is

Hi,

You basically do the same way to set up proxy in Tunderbird as well.

It also works the same way in other applications like qBittorrent
torrent client, Hexchat IRC client and so on.
