How can I find out the proxy address I am behind?

Question

I am behind a proxy, but I don't know the URL/port. Is there a way to find this out? Thanks,

Do you mean the IP/port you use to connect to your proxy or the IP you are expose to the internet with? — André Stannek, Apr 01 '13 at 15:50

you can find your proxy in two ways. Open your terminal with CTRL+ALT+T then

Method 1:

env | grep -i proxy

Description: It will search proxy string in the env command which lists all system environmental variables.

Method 2:

cat /etc/environment
