[Tutorial] How to sort out download issue using Proxy

leokhoa

If your machine is behind a company proxy, you may not be able to download files using "Quick app" and "Quick add" features of Laragon.
With laragon 4.0.1+, you can overcome the limitation by using Proxy. Here's how:

Open laragon.ini in Menu > Laragon > laragon.ini
Add Proxy=<host>:<port> below [preferences]. For example:

[preferences]
Proxy=206.81.6.31:8080

That's all.

Note: if you don't have a proxy, you can paste this link to your browser to get a free one (repeat the process until you find one that works):
http://pubproxy.com/api/proxy?limit=1&format=txt&https=true&country=US&type=http

Change country=XX to the country you prefer.

How do you make this work with a proxy that requires authentication ? What would be the syntax in the .ini file ?
