I have used the commands



export http_proxy=address:port


and



export https_proxy=address:port


to set http and https proxy in bash in WSL. But every time I open bash, the environment variables are becoming empty. I tried setting up these variables in /etc/environment and ~/.bashrc too.



I am using bash.exe command in cmd promt to open bash.

If you use export, you can only use the environment variables on that terminal session. Else, you have to add it to /etc/enviroment.



But if you aren't logged in as root, you can't use it. You should change the permissions of the file.
