I always start up Gentoo with these variables set system wide: localhost m1_1sem # env | grep -i proxy http_proxy=SERVER:3128 ftp_proxy=SERVER:3128 rsync_proxy=SERVER:3128 https_proxy=SERVER:3128 However, R seems to ignore them. I always had to put the necessary variables in Renviron. I have just tried your method, but it also failed. I double-checked the proxy server name, so I doubt the problem is there. There must be something else that blocks R from accessing the Internet.
