You can solve the jar download issue by defining proxy settings in settings.xml. My company also used a proxy to communicate with outside world.Having said that, I also learnt that there is no need to define specific remote repository in settings.xml bcos maven by default searches in its own repository which mostly has all the opensource jars. Try below configuration in your setting.xml and issue will be solved.

<proxy>
  <active>true</active>
  <protocol>http</protocol>
  <host>proxy.somewhere.com</host>
  <port>8080</port>
  <username>proxyuser</username>
  <password>somepassword</password>
</proxy>

The most important step you should go is to use a Repository Manager and use this instead using direct connection to internet. There different solutions available like Nexus, Artifactory, Archiva. The problem your are describing are typical problems within commerial environments and of course the solution is to use a repository manager.

I don't think pointing to https://search.maven.org is going to solve your issue. That is just a human consumable (yes along with bookmarkable and searchable-by-REST) search location.

That said, the definition of central is in the Maven super POM that is part of the Maven installation. You can mirror this repository if you wish to point your Maven installation to a different central repository.
