What kind of proxy do you have in mind?
A www/ftp proxy? (like squid?)
Or an IP (socks) proxy?
If its a www proxy, then you just need to configure it in the browser
you are using. There is no global configuration file for it, although
some applications (non-GUI ones usually) respect http_proxy, ftp_proxy,
and no_proxy environment variables.
