Updating SOCKS proxy via apt.conf doesn't upda

问题:

Os: Ubuntu 16.10

What I'm trying to do:

I've got external socks v5 server. I want to *send all local WEB traffic to socks server by doing this:

1. ssh -D 1337 -f -C -q -N admin@socks_server_ip; #Connection no issues here

2. ps aux | grep 1337 # I see PID related to this connection, no issues here as well

3. Update /etc/apt/apt.conf as:

Acquire::socks::proxy "socks://user:pass@host:port/"; #No issues in updating apt.conf as well

Problem:

When I'm done succesfully editing apt.conf file, I should be able to see changes in Network >> Proxy section listing socks proxy details something like this:

BUT, even after updating apt.conf, I see this:

And I can't access internet until or unless I manually set Network >> Proxy details. Anybody have any idea why this is happening?? Please suggest any solutions if possible. Thanks

Editing apt.conf changes the proxy just for the APT (package manager). If you want to set up the proxy system-wide, you really need to go to Network >> Proxy and set that manually.
