Install GPG key on ubuntu bypassing firewall

If you are seeing error while adding a repo to ubuntu, because you are behind some stupid firewall which is not allowing accessing port 11371

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa
Executing: gpg --ignore-time-conflict --no-options --no-default-keyring --secret-keyring /etc/apt/secring.gpg --trustdb-name /etc/apt/trustdb.gpg --keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg --primary-keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv B34505EA326FEAEA07E3618DEF4186FE247510BE
gpg: requesting key 247510BE from hkp server keyserver.ubuntu.com
gpgkeys: HTTP fetch error 7: couldn't connect to host
gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.
gpg: Total number processed: 0

then you download the key manually from the website and add it to ubuntu. Go to anonymouse.org and visit http://keyserver.ubuntu.com:11371 through the proxy site

Search for the corresponding key on the server as 0x247510BE and download the key, and save it to a text file on local system

Key should be something like below

Then add the key to ubuntu using 'sudo apt-key add ' and then run 'sudo apt-get update' to update the repository which should accept the key
