Update through firewall

[georg.viehoever]

On a Linux machine equipped with a firewall (that I cant control), I get error messages when I try to update PI:

https://pixinsight.com/update/1.8.6/: Network error: Could not resolve host: pixinsight.com
https://pixinsight.com/update-doc/1.8.6/: Network error: Could not resolve host: pixinsight.com
https://pixinsight.com/update-eph/1.8.6/: Network error: Could not resolve host: pixinsight.com

Is there any way I can configure PI to use a network proxy (for instance via ssh) for the update process?

That doesn’t sound like a firewall issue to me but a DNS issue. What happes when you open a terminal and type

nslookup pixinsight.com

And can you browse to pixinsight.com (without the www bit)?

How about trying sshuttle, e.g.

Code: [Select]

>sshuttle --dns -r user@remote-machine.com 0/0

The firewall blocks resolution of almost all DNS names and access to almost all IP addresses. With Firefox I can use a proxy, but I have no idea how to tell PI to do that.
