Configure i-mscp to navigate behind a proxy

When connecting to the outside there's one can use proxy server to avoid part of the risk of being infected by using a list of trusted sites where you are connecting. On a server that has to be configured in serveral places, here are the places where you will have to configure the navigation proxy in order for it to work.

Apt-get

If you are on debian, you will have to configure the server to download its updates via proxy, you have to edit the file /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/proxy-guess and set it to:

Acquire::http::Proxy "http://user:[email protected]:3128/";

Curl

The perl engine of i-mscp installer relies on curl to download the information from the internet. To configurate curl through a proxy, you will have to create a file /root/.curlrc with a content like this:

proxy = http://user:[email protected]:3128

Others (tools, etc..)
