Hello: My FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE system is behind a institutional firewall. Obviously I can not change any settings of this firewall. After installing FreeBSD and not setting any proxy servers I could install packages using pkg_add -r command. But when I tried to update the system freebsd-update fetch stopped. I traced that it stopped because getting the file through ftp failed: (with "failed: Connection refused: messages"). Therefore I have set http_proxy and ftp_proxy variables in my .profile file. After this the update ran without any problem. But now pkg_add -r refuses to fetch files with message: Error: Unable to get ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD....: Forbidden wget with --no-proxy option can fetch the file, that is the problem for pkg_add is probably the configured http or ftp proxy. How can fix this so that I should not every time set/unset proxy when I want to update the system or install a package?
