# Advanced Settings: Proxy Configuration

If your network requires a Proxy server for internet access, configure the Proxy servers as follows:

<pre class="language-bash"><code class="lang-bash">$ vi /etc/environment
export http_proxy=http://xxxxx:xxxx@server.domain.local:8080
<strong>export https_proxy=http://xxxxx:xxxx@server.domain.local:8080
</strong>export ftp_proxy=http://xxxxx:xxxx@server.domain.local:8080
no_proxy=http://xxxxx:xxxx@server.domain.local:8080
</code></pre>

{% hint style="info" %}
To include special characters like ! and @ in your password using Unicode, you should represent them in hexadecimal format.

For instance, if your password is `F@o:o!B#ar$`, **the export will fail**export

```
http_proxy="http://user:F@o:o!B#ar$@server.domain.local:8080"
```

Convert special characters to their hexadecimal format, for instance:

```bash
@ becomes %40, 
: becomes %3A, 
and so on. 
```

{% endhint %}

For example, using the [Online Toolz text to hex converter](https://www.online-toolz.com/tools/text-hex-convertor.php), the password `F@o:o!B#ar$` is transformed to `F%40o%3Ao%21B%23ar%24`. The `http_proxy` export is formatted as follows:

```bash
export http_proxy="http://user:F%40o%3Ao%21B%23ar%24@server.domain.local:8080"
```
