Hi, I think you should use "http://195.237.228.218:8087"; as the value for both 'http_proxy' and 'https_proxy', unless your proxy server speak HTTPS protocol at 8087 which is very unlikely... > How do set a system wide http(s) proxy in Guix? > This isn't specific question as we see. That's not Guix specified, most programs will read some environment variables (http_proxy/https_proxy/HTTP_PROXY/ALL_PROXY, etc.), and GNOME/KDE desktop have its proxy setting, but there is no such a single system-wide setting can do the job. Or you can try setup a transparent proxy on a standalone router or through a network namespace, it's more complex but will apply to all programs.
