Configuring HTTP proxy

In order to connect out the update servers, I need to use our internal proxy for those connections. How do I configure an HTTP proxy for these outgoing connections?
 
On the administration page, there are servers listed to check for updates. Our data security policy does not allow our Proxmox servers to talk directly out to those update servers - we need to go through an HTTP proxy in order to connect to outside addresses. I'm wondering if it is possible to configure Proxmox to use an HTTP proxy for the update servers.

You have to configure the proxy to the system.
Create etc/profile.d/proxy.sh file with the fallowing configuration:

# set proxy config via profie.d - should apply for all users
# http/https/ftp/no_proxy
export http_proxy="http://10.10.1.20:8080/"
export https_proxy="http://10.10.1.20:8080/"
export ftp_proxy="http://10.10.1.20:8080/"
export no_proxy="127.0.0.1,localhost"

just set it in the GUI - https://pmg.proxmox.com/pmg-docs/pmg-admin-guide.html#pmgconfig_systemconfig GUI->Configuration->Options

I hope this helps!
