network-cfg set -h

Set or cancel the current Wi-Fi proxy.

network-cfg set http_proxy [ip:port]

NOTE

The proxy can be set only when the Wi-Fi is connected.

The value range of the port number is [1, 65535]. If the port number is not specified or exceeds the value range, the default value 8080 is used.

The proxy takes effect only for the current Wi-Fi. You need to set the proxy again after switching the Wi-Fi.

Example:

# Set a proxy for the current Wi-Fi. The host name is localhost, and the port number is 8080.
network-cfg set http_proxy 127.0.0.1:8080
# Set a proxy for the current Wi-Fi. The host name is ip6-localhost, and the port number is 8080.
network-cfg set http_proxy [::1]
# Cancel the current Wi-Fi proxy.
network-cfg set http_proxy 0
