How can I configure proxy authentication?

Question

The Ubuntu 11.10 has only simple proxy configuration. Where is the authentication option? so it can be used to download packages?

You could try the easy to use GUI tool [GrrProxy](https://github.com/Cadogan/GrrProxy) — Renae Lider, Mar 21 '15 at 18:18

From reading the upstream bug about this, it looks to be possible, but requires you to enter the host in the form of username:password@host in the network proxy dialog.

What if the password itself contains "`:`"? Do I need to escape it then? – k0pernikus Dec 06 '11 at 08:56
