[FIXED] How do I turn off wget proxy?

Issue

I had been using a proxy for a long time. Now I need to remove it. I have forgotten how I have added the proxy to wget. Can someone please help me get back to the normal wget where it doesn't use any proxy. As of now, I'm using

wget <link> --proxy=none

But I'm facing a problem when I'm installing using a pre-written script. It's painstaking to search all through the scripts and change each command. Any simpler solution will be very much appreciated.

Thanks

Solution

Check your

1. ~/.wgetrc
2. /etc/wgetrc

and remove proxy settings.

Or use wget --no-proxy command line option to override them.
