When we use ubuntu 16.04 or higher normal proxy setting will not work. If your internet is not working then set following things

sudo gedit /etc/environment

Add following lines in the environment file.

http_proxy=”http://proxyserveripaddress:portno”
https_proxy=”http://proxyserveripaddress:portno” ftp_proxy=”http://proxyserveripaddress:portno”
socks_proxy=”http://proxyserveripaddress:portno”

For example if your proxy server ip address is 192.168.0.1 & port address is 8080

http_proxy=”http://192.168.0.1:8080″
https_proxy=”http://192.168.0.1:8080″ ftp_proxy=”http://192.168.0.1:8080″ socks_proxy=”http://192.168.0.1:8080″

Save the file and

Reboot
