This skill helps you troubleshoot and fix network connectivity issues by applying proxy settings.
When to use
- A command fails with a network error (e.g., "connection refused", "timeout", "network unreachable").
- A download or installation is extremely slow.
- You explicitly ask to "use proxy" or "turn on proxy".
Default Proxy Configuration
Unless the user specifies otherwise, assume the local proxy is running at:
- HTTP Proxy:
http://127.0.0.1:6268 - HTTPS Proxy:
http://127.0.0.1:6268 - SOCKS Proxy:
socks5://127.0.0.1:6268
(Note: Port 6268 is common for tools like Clash/V2Ray. Adjust if the user provides a different port.)
How to Apply
1. Temporary (One-off command)
For a single command execution, prepend the environment variables:
export https_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:6268 http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:6268 all_proxy=socks5://127.0.0.1:6268
[original command]
Example:
export https_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:6268 http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:6268 all_proxy=socks5://127.0.0.1:6268
git clone https://github.com/some/repo.git
2. Session-wide (Current terminal)
To set it for the current session:
export https_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:6268
export http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:6268
export all_proxy=socks5://127.0.0.1:6268
3. Unset (Turn off)
To clear the proxy settings:
unset https_proxy http_proxy all_proxy
Troubleshooting
If the default port (6268) doesn't work:
- Ask the user for their proxy port (common alternatives: 1080, 1087, 8080).
- Check if a proxy tool is running.
