Sorry for the lack of context. I've been running a small office/home (SOHO) network for several decades, starting in dial-up modem days, and that has included an apt proxy server since then. Lately I have been running apt-cacher-ng, and I am experimenting with apt-cacher-ultra. I use auto-apt-proxy to detect the proxy. So the question is, did a given run of apt use a proxy, and if so which one? -- Does anybody read signatures any more? https://charlescurley.com https://charlescurley.com/blog/
