+## note about apt and git
+
+In `/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/proxy.conf` there is a proxy connection setup:
+
+```
+# "socks5h" means proxy with DNS resolving ability
+Acquire {
+  HTTP::proxy "socks5h://127.0.0.1:8080";
+  HTTPS::proxy "socks5h://127.0.0.1:8080";
+}
+```
+
+So we can then ssh into the machine with a tunnel
+
+```bash
+ssh -R 127.0.0.1:8080 mediactl
+```
