Hi Edwin2006

Directing all request through a proxy is not an easy task.
Most command in Linux do lookup the variables for system wide
redirection, but not all.
I assume , from paul- his answer, this has never been tested in the PCP
development, and it is indeed a rare use case.
If you really need your PCP to do all through a proxy you are setting
yourself up for an adventure.
It will be one where you need to educate yourself a bit and are leaving
the paved PCP path.
Probably you are the first one to attempt it, and only a few will follow
you .

I would advise to firewall the pi with a separate firewall device and
use its logs to verify all requests are either direct or to the proxy.
Access to the proxy logs are also recommended to see all teh request are
understood and executed.
And remember, pcp and its picore sibling are tweaked to be small and
lean. So though they are linux, it isn't a full desktop distro that
offers full functionality for almost every invented setup. To my
knowledge all in PCP is written in readable scripts and thus you can
debug each one for your connection. But with extension modules, there
will always be parts left untested.

See:
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/213737/how-do-i-set-systemwide-connection-over-a-proxy-server
for a few quick first steps on your trial.
Please leave a post if you manage to get it running. Although your
specific setup is rare, you are never the only one.
