Hello All, I'm sure this must be a fairly quick and easy configuration, but I have not been able to figure it out yet. How do you configure the proxy settings in the OS itself (not in a browser or other application) so that anytime the server tries to get out to the internet, that it can direct its traffic to go through a proxy server? I tried putting the proxy settings in .bash_profile per a tech article I found online but that did not work. The OS is Redhat 7.2. Thanks, Paul Greene

That did it - worked perfectly. Thanks!
