So I am working on a Python project for a Raspberry Pi, that will download a list of proxies daily from a site.
However, whenever I lookup/google how to set the system proxy, I am unable to achieve anything. When I load up firefox, my IP is always the same.
The proxies in the list are http, https, socks4, and socks5.
Anyone know of a way to set the system proxy dynamically based on the type of proxy via Python on Linux (Debian)?
What I have so far:
os.environ[str(proxyData["protocol"]) + "_proxy"] = str(proxyData["ip"]) + ":" + str(proxyData["port"])
EDIT:
What I'm shooting for:
client -> (openvpn) -> Pi -> (Python/Proxy) -> internet

First, thank you for replying!
I have already attempted: export http_proxy="proxy-ip:proxy-port"
I also would like to add, I'm only trying to get openvpn to use the proxy

That's genius! I will try that right away!
I kinda feel a little silly, as that is rather simple
