• Open the etc/environment file with vi (or your favorite editor). This file stores the system-wide variables initialized upon boot.
• Add the following lines, modifying appropriately. You must duplicate in both upper-case and lower-case because (unfortunately) some programs only look for one or the other:

    http_proxy="http://myproxy.server.com:8080/"
    https_proxy="http://myproxy.server.com:8080/"
    ftp_proxy="http://myproxy.server.com:8080/"
    no_proxy="localhost,127.0.0.1,localaddress,.localdomain.com"
    HTTP_PROXY="http://myproxy.server.com:8080/"
    HTTPS_PROXY="http://myproxy.server.com:8080/"
    FTP_PROXY="http://myproxy.server.com:8080/"
    NO_PROXY="localhost,127.0.0.1,localaddress,.localdomain.com"

• apt-get, aptitude, etc. will not obey the environment variables when used normally with sudo. So separately configure them; create the file etc/apt/apt.conf.d/95proxies, in and include the following:

    Acquire::http::proxy "http://myproxy.server.com:8080/";
    Acquire::ftp::proxy "ftp://myproxy.server.com:8080/";
    Acquire::https::proxy "https://myproxy.server.com:8080/";
