I have read a lot of guides about setting a proxy for ubuntu. I can do it with the GUI in the network settings and it automatically starts using the proxy I specified and when I open firefox or chrome to check my ip it shows the proxy ip.

But I'm not able to get it working with terminal by editing the ~/.bashrc file. I do it like this:

sudo nano ~/.bashrc

then add this at the end of the file

export HTTP_PROXY="my_proxy:my_port"
export HTTPS_PROXY="my_proxy:my_port"
export FTP_PROXY="my_proxy:my_port"

then I save the changes and run the command

source ~/.bashrc

But when I open the web browser my IP did not change, I also tried rebooting the system but the ip remains the same.

You can write and configure a script. I need to throw a reverse tunnel from the virtual machine (Windows 10) to a Linux VPS on Digital Ocean and then use it back to Win7. I will imitate a situation where Windows 10 is the customer's machine, and the Linux VPS is our server. On the VPS, I install and configure the RsocksTun server side: I install an apt install proxy service provider and get the git clone GitHub as the source. This is a clone that will read the data. In the end, you need to generate an SSL certificate and run the server side.

You can try using small letters like this:

export http_proxy="my_proxy:my_port"         
export https_proxy="my_proxy:my_port"

if it still doesn't work put those in '/etc/environment'

If you are using apt install you may also edit '/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/proxy.conf' put those in there:

 Acquire::http::Proxy "http://host:port/";                            
 Acquire::https::Proxy "http://host:port/";
