I often bring my laptop to work in the library, but i don't know how to make debian connect to the Internet through a proxy (although i have username and password for the proxy).

Easy.... (it's the same as with lynx, wget, curl etc)

Just set the ftp_proxy and/or http_proxy environment variables:

export http_proxy=http://your.proxy.host:port/
export ftp_proxy=$http_proxy
