Issues when connected to a network that has a proxy. I get connection issues.
I updated the proxy configuration under Network settings. I have access and able to connect to websites through built-in firebox browser.
The issues is with the terminal
I can’t ping to google.com or apple.com etc…
I can’t do SSH from the terminal.
I get unresolved hosts. Even though I can access through a browser.
I always do updates and upgrades to the latest version of the OS. I didn’t run into the same issue when I had Ubuntu, but I like Parrot a lot more as an OS. It is much more secure.
Hi:
Maybe your proxy configuration doesnt allow some connections (For example i have to connect to 443 port ssh-ing my $HOST, because it doesn’t allow that kind of connections, but it cant spy 443 connections, so at home i’ve configured ssh listening in 443 port). Sorry for my bad english i hope you understand!!!
But there are some proxy variables that you can configure…
Mmmm… Maybe your proxy is blocking icmp.
Could you try wget www.apple.com?
What kind of proxy do you have?
For example, me at work must pass by an isa server, so i have to put another proxy between the enterprise proxy and my system…

Through ubuntu I was able to ping. So I don’t understand how I can’t ping using Parrot OS. It seems that the terminal settings in Parrot aren’t using proxy settings correct like firefox browser.
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ ping www.apple.com

I figured out the issue, it was anonsurf. You have to disable it even if you haven’t ran it in the first place. I’m able to connect now without issues. Thanks!
The issue is back. This happened after I updated the OS to 4.16. AnonSurf is no longer included and was removed. In the past I would just click and stop AnonSurf and the issue with the proxy would be solved. Obviously, I can’t do that know. It seems Stop AnonSurf did something that configured the latest proxy settings to the terminal. So I have internet connection through a browser but can’t ping or connect to a git repo through a terminal.
I noticed one thing, when I add the proxy in network settings and I search for proxy via terminal. I see it show up twice. I wonder if it is being double set.
