I am able to connect to both wired and wireless networks and able to browse via a browser. So I don't think there's any network issue.

However I cannot run any internet based command from my terminal
even a sudo apt-get update
command gets stuck showing

`0% [Connecting to 7.1.1.12 (7.1.1.12)] [Connecting to 7.1.1.12 (7.1.1.12)]`

and get stuck there.

I tried doing sudo iptables -F after following another answer but to no good.

Please help me with this.

   Output of env | grep -i proxy

   
   
   

   http_proxy=http:// 7.1.1.12:3128/
   
   ftp_proxy=ftp:// 7.1.1.12:3128/
   
   socks_proxy=socks:// 7.1.1.12:3128/
   
   https_proxy=https:// 7.1.1.12:3128/
   
   

   
   

In your case, the apt-get command is finding those http_proxy entries and attempting to connect to the internet through them. In this case, it is an IP address belonging to the Department of Defense, and the :3128 is indicating Squid.

Either you do work for the DoD - in which case you should not be posting this information on a public forum, this should be going through your department admin.

Or you accidentally added those entries there. Check your /etc/environment file for those entries and comment them out. If it isn't in /etc/environment, have a look at your ~/.profile file as well; same deal, just comment them out.

Ok, i see a space into the URL, just before the IP addresses. Please remove those spaces from those *proxy env variables, and if that doesn't work, please try to unset it.

To set it correctly:
export http_proxy=http://7.1.1.12:3128/

To unset it:
unset http_proxy

Edit: Just repeat it for all *proxy variables
