Assuming now that you have /etc/apt/soures.list edited accordingly, I
suspect there is no need for a proxy of any sort. Of course I could be
wrong if however you are behind some sort of corporate proxy-device
(squid or something else).
If the above is true and you are part of an IT team, one might think
that the IT powers that be would have setup some sort of allowance for
IT based devices to bypass corporate proxies.
If this is true - seek the help from an IT person to gather the proper
information etc.
