I am running Ubuntu 16.04 and I am using HTTP proxy to connect to the INTERNET in my university. I have edited my hosts file as below



127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 user-PE62-7RD
10.105.8.13 mail.com www.mail.com


but when i type mail.com in Firefox it goes to mail.com site rather than to ip specified. But when i ping with terminal it is pinging correct IP. And also i can access the Web App on the server using IP address but not the local domain name

          If you using [Manual Proxy configuration], adding the domain "mail.com" or host "www.mail.com" to [No Proxy for] field in your example will solve the problem.
          Firefox sends proxy request before resolving the hosts file or dns.
