Vagrant and proxy server on Windows

[Reuben Avery]

Hello all,

We have a network that requires using a proxy server for all external traffic.  I'm unable to get vagrant to recognize this proxy server in order for it to download the base vm.  I have set the HTTP_PROXY environment variable properly but it dies with 'host not found'.  This is with v1.2.7

Anyone else face this?

Thanks,
Reuben

Hi Reuben,

try to set HTTPS_PROXY as well and make sure you inlcude the `http://` part when you set the env vars, e.g.:

$ export HTTP_PROXY=http://my.proxy.org:8080
$ export HTTPS_PROXY=http://my.proxy.org:8080

If you need the proxy to be set in the VM as well there's some more trouble you might encounter. I have summarized my experience here:

Hopefully @tmatilai will find the time to further improve the vagrant-proxyconf plugin (e.g. #6, #13) -- of all approaches this one looks most promising to me:

Cheers,

I just yesterday returned from a long trip and vacations. But I'll
promise to continue with that project in the next couple of days. =)
All feedback welcome as always!

Hi,

I googled a while to reach here because similar issue hit me.

- My vbox VM was behind corporate firewall with ntlm authentication.
- I installed vagrant-proxyconf
- Add proxy setting Vagrantfile as following:

  if Vagrant.has_plugin?("vagrant-proxyconf")
    config.proxy.http     = "http://domain\user:passwd@ip_addr:port/"
    config.proxy.https    = "http://domain\user:passwd@ip_addr:port/"
    config.proxy.no_proxy = "localhost,127.0.0.1,.example.com"
  end

Still it didn't work fine after `sudo apt-get update`.

what's best solution for me?

thanks.
