Thank you Lars! It worked.

I just had to open /etc/apt/apt.conf and add the username and password to
the http_proxy variable also.

Thank you!

“O mais engraçado nos homens de hoje em dia é que eles gastam toda a sua
saúde para ganhar dinheiro, e depois no final de sua vida, gastam todo o seu
dinheiro para recuperar sua saúde. E assim, vivem a vida pensando no futuro,
e se esquecem do presente, vivem como se estivessem mortos, e morrem como se
nunca tivessem vivido…” - Dalai Lama
