VMware virtual machines to access the internet via proxy

Question

I have ubuntu20 installed in VMware on windows 10, with host only NIC mode. windows 10 has a shadowsocks client started to allow other devices to connect to it, and I have set up a proxy connection in ubuntu to 192.168.0.1:1080 (windows shadowsocks).

The web browser can access google, but why is ubuntu unable to ping www.google.com and there is no way to sudo apt install anything. (I want all traffic on this ubuntu to go through windows shadowsocks.)

ubuntu access to google

ubuntu ping

ubuntu apt install

Answer 1

http proxy does not forward ping requests.

To use the proxy for installing packages, try

export http_proxy=192.168.0.1:1080
export https_proxy=192.168.0.1:1080
