I am using the xrdp software since almost 3 years now, to make the remote desktop facility available for Linux servers.

To use Yum with proxy server,
edit /etc/yum.conf
Then add proxy server’s IP Address and Port number like follows.
proxy=http://PROXY-IP:PORT
If your proxy server requires authentication, Then add following lines,

proxy_username=PROXY-USERNAME
proxy_password=PROXY-PASSWD
save the file and try running Yum.

To Set a Proxy server for Wget, just type following commands.
export http_proxy=http://proxy-server-ip:port/
for example,
export http_proxy=http://192.168.0.1:3128/
similerly,
export ftp_proxy=http://proxy-server-ip:port/
If your proxy server requires authentication, use..
export http_proxy=http://username:password@proxy-server-ip:port/
And if you feel that it’s not secure to keep usernale password in environment variable, then use following cocmmand.

wget –proxy-user=USER –proxy-password=PASSWD http://shaxonline.org
You can also set this variable for all Users, Just open /etc/profile and [...]

While dealing with personal and confedential data, it is always needed to protect it with password. Although password protection is good, encryption makes the data more secure.
