I have boxes running in a company but they have internet browsing and firewalls for security.

When I do apt-get update or install it fails. But I have a remote server which ip is only allowed to have access.

How can I tell apt-get to go to my cloud server and via the cloud server get the packages downloaded or updated?

Do you have a proxy at your company?
If so, you can set the proxy before running the apt-get update logged in as root first:

export http_proxy=http://host:port

apt-get update

Using sudo:

sudo http_proxy=http://host:port apt-get update

If your proxy requires authentication, you can set it in the URL (beware that the password will be saved in history as plain text):

http://username:password@host:port
