title: Connection to http://repo.maven.apache.org refused
body: <p>I do want to use maven at home for my project, but I can't connect to central repository.</p>
  
  <p>I saw some people suggesting using proxy, but what proxy should I use? How do I determine it? I am very confused about this. </p>
  
  <p>If someone could explain what I need to do step by step I would be very grateful.</p>

  <p>This turned out to be a firewall issue.</p>
