If you would like to use 'dselect' to install and/or upgrade your fink installation on a computer that is behind a firewall, you can do one of two things:

  1. Run 'fink configure' and when asked for proxy setting, type in your proxy information in the following format:
    http://username:password@proxyserver:proxyport
  2. Edit /sw/etc/fink.conf, and add the following line:
    ProxyHTTP: http://username:password@proxyserver:proxyport
[Editor's note: I have not tried this myself, but it seems straightforward!]
