To configure SVN proxy settings you need to edit the servers file in svn. In Linux, this can be found at
Open this file in a text editor and change the settings as following by including the proxy host and port under the [global] section. Uncomment those two lines and remove any leading spaces.
If you get any errors, make sure that there are no spaces at the start of those lines.
For most of us, proxy is used only at school/university/work. Everywhere else you don't use proxy. So Most of the time you need configure the settings once. But you will have to enable/disable proxy every time. That means opening this file in an editor and commenting/uncommenting manually every single time.
After getting fed up with doing this every time I move to and from university, I came up with a better way to do this.

[global]
# http-proxy-exceptions = *.exception.com, www.internal-site.org
http-proxy-host = proxy.host.com
http-proxy-port = 1234
# http-proxy-username = defaultusername
# http-proxy-password = defaultpassword
# http-compression = no
# http-auth-types = basic;digest;negotiate
# No http-timeout, so just use the builtin default.
# No neon-debug-mask, so neon debugging is disabled.
# ssl-authority-files = /path/to/CAcert.pem;/path/to/CAcert2.pem If you get any errors, make sure that there are no spaces at the start of those lines.
