Hello guys,
Another good and useful application that I found and was like a Christmas present for me. I always needed proxy configuration to browse the internet and I was not able to do it.
A while ago I started using SPQRom which has proxy configuration only for the default Android browser.
Today I found a new application that offers proxy functionality for Android devices.
If anyone is interested just download the application below. Install it. Give to it root access. Connect to your WiFi network. Start the application. Enter proxy configuration. AND.... HAPPY BROWSING.
Transparent Proxy Application
I am currently using the beta version and is working excellent.
Working with : SPQRom 0.7
Thanks!
Many thanks using it for school network
Works with cyanogenmod
Doesnt work at some places because the DNS does not resolve IPs outside the network. Is there a method to route the DNS resolution through proxy?
It will be nice if it is implemented.
I am having the same DNS problem. Many people claimed it working. I can only make the browser work to access IP addresses. No idea how other apps like market can work.
thx man like like like
Now I use proxydroid instead of this. https://market.android.com/details?id=org.proxydroid&hl=en Works better for me.

To access the Internet using Wifi I need to go through the proxy server of our organization. Usually in a Windows Desktop we configure to get the DNS server automatically and use a proxy.pac (some thing like: http: //SSS.SSS.SS.SSS/proxy.pac).
I have rooted my Xperia X10 mini and tried anProxy and TransProxy, but failed to go through the proxy server.
Is there any way out or work around to access the Internet through our proxy server?
Thanks in advance!
I know this is old, but this is an ongoing problem and I figured out how to use a .pac proxy file! After reading about proxy's and what .pac files are, I stumbled upon a little hint and after a little tinkering I was able to use my work's wifi that uses an auto-config .pac file and my phone and tablet has full internet access with browser, apps etc including Netflix for example.
Here are the steps you need:
1) Your phone has to be rooted to take advantage of the proxy apps on the market, I personally use ProxyDroid, which is free and has a feature to bind certain proxy profiles to automatically turn on when a certain wifi network is connected.
2) Usually there is an option that gives you an http proxy pac file to manually input to your browsers or what not, so whatever the link is, put it an active internet browser to download the pac file (an example of the url with the pac file would be something like http://internet.xxxxx.com/proxy.pac)
3) Where ever you download the pac file, open it with notepad or wordpad and this will reveal all the proxy info you need in order to access the proxy enable wifi. What the ProxyDroid app needs from the PAC file is the Host url and Port number. When you open a PAC file in notepad, you'll see something like this near the top along with a bunch of other things under it:
"Cisco Remote Envelope Service
if (dstHost=="internet.e-mail") {
return "PROXY internet-x-x.xxxxxx.com:9090""
- So in "Host" under Proxy Settings in the ProxyDroid app you would input: internet-x-x.xxxx.com
- For the "Port" you would put input: 9090
4) After inputting those 2 pieces of info into the ProxyDroid app, turn the wifi on for your Android Device then enable to ProxyDroid app, you should able to connect to the proxy enabled wifi!
*Some notes for the ProxyDroid app.
- It allows for Authentication, but since my work wifi does not use that, I'm not sure how it would work
- For Proxy type, I set it as an HTTP
- I binded the specific proxy profile to my work wifi so it would ProxyDroid would automatically enable when work wifi was detected
Hope this bit of info helps other that have Android devices and were unable to use a proxy enable wifi to finally access them. Hopefully in the future, Android will make using proxy and pac files a lot easier like how it's done on the ipad where they allow you to manually set up proxy settings by having the device download the PAC file.
This works on both a rooted AT&T HTC Inspire and a HP Touchpad running CM7 Alpha
This looks like a resolved issue, but if anyone else is reading this, there is an easier way. Check out Autoproxy on the market. You can add a new proxy, put in the address to the proxy.pac file, and it will connect to the current proxy.
That's also good if you're on a network where they keep changing the proxy (like the place I work).
Running Vanilla AOSP Gingerbread 2.3.3, finally managed to get this thing to talk to the local network here at work (it's PEAP authenticated, TnT Lite won't see it).
Now I'm running into the issue of not being able to access local intranet sites with my browser. Instead if just takes me to google search.
Running Dolphin HD right now. Any ideas? I'd really like to use this tablet at work to access the local intranet. If it won't do it, that's going to be a problem.
I would download the program ipconfig from the market and make sure you are getting the correct ip information on your network. Getting the incorrect DNS server can cause this issue. You can also downlond ping from the market and try to ping the internal web address. Just a troubleshooting step that I would starti with.
I was able to ping it using the Terminal Emulator, so that is working at least.
Well...I am getting my Gtab deliverred via fedex tomorrow and will be able to test my local intranet sites with the same setup and hopefully be a little more helpful. I will keep you posted with what I find,
Ok, I was wrong, I can't ping. I was pinging a server that is exposed on the external internet (Oops). The internal-only servers are unreachable. The DNS servers, though, are correct.
This is interesting.
From home I can access my work email through Exchange for Android, no problems. However now that I'm online at work and on the internal network, it doesn't work. I suspect it's because it's on the internal intranet now instead of trying to route to it through the internet.
I suspect that, while Vanilla 2.3.3 AOSP supports PEAP, it doesn't really support PEAP.
A large number of corporate networks use a proxy server; check into that.

This one doesn't, as far as I can tell.
My iPhone connects to it fine, other people are able to access it with iPads and Android phones.
I'd ask IT for help, but we're technically not supposed to be using it.

Had the same problem and it turned out to be the Proxy settings.
Got it working.
Now running VEGAn 5.11 and it connects just fine. Not having the issues with the email anymore, either. However some of the intranet sites only pull up if I know the IP directly, apparently the browser has a hard time with port redirection on the URL (it doesn't care for 'evolutionsc:8080' very much at all).
Now I just need to find a browser that can handle JIRA without formatting issues.

I seem to be having the same problem but I honestly don't know how to update the proxy settings for my work network (which does use a proxy server). I'm using Vegan 511, anyone know how to specify a proxy server for the network connection to use? I can't find anything in the wireless&network settings area.
i know modifying the services.jar is done when rooted but i have been messing with QPST pretty much all day and have found quite a few little tweaks that can be made. anyway, i noticed under multiple tabs there are options for tethering. when i get back, im going to back up all my settings and then change some things to see what i can come up with.
can anyone with and intimate knowledge of QPST and our phones chime in here? is there anyway at least the wired tethering can be modified w/ QPST to be unlocked? just a thought because the market apps have to do something not root related.
I don't know about actual tethering (which gives your PC an IP address), but I've seen a lot of posts on XDA and other forums on how to browse the web using a proxy setup. I've been doing this for the last few days that I've owned the phone.
In essence, it involves:
1. Running a proxy server app on your phone. I use JADS internet sharer, in SOCKS mode. Proxoid is another HTTP proxy server
2. Connecting phone to the computer using USB
3. Putting the phone in HTC Sync mode (I couldn't get adb to work in charge only mode)
4. Doing adb port forwarding on your computer: adb forward tcp:12345 tcp:1080
5. Configuring firefox to use the SOCKS v5 proxy localhost:12345 (or HTTP/HTTPS proxy if you run proxoid)
6. Configuring the network.proxy.socks_remote_dns custom property value to "true" in firefox's advanced configuration (type about:config in the address bar, and type "dns" in the filter textbox)
After this, I can browse the internet all I want. And that's really all I need at this time. I'd like to have the computer route all internet through this proxy server, but I'm going to look into it later.
I suspect the market apps are doing something VERY similar. They all have a client component you have to install on your PC, maybe the client is a "dummy" network interface that routes all traffic through a similar port forwarding setup.

does easytether have a pc client? never tried it so i really dont know but i think your right because in the free version of easytether its web ports only and the paid version, all ports are working (gaming, messaging, etc....).
I've tried the Easytether paid version and it works great.

Over wifi? Also, will this work for computers that can only join a secure network? (not adhoc) [if wifi is avail]
I only need to tether when on a job and there network is down or something and I may need to get on my laptop for a brief amount of time would this easytether work for me.
this should be in Q&A or general. you are not developing anything with your op so it does not belong here please pm a mod to move
Or merge with thread WIP DEV hotspot unlock?
BANG! from my shooter...
Does anyone know of a good app for setting different network/proxy settings per wifi connection? I need a proxy setup for one wifi network and not for another but I don't see anyway to make that setting permanent in UnNamed ROM so time for an app.
It would be great if the app also had per-app proxy settings or intelligent features like FoxyProxy.
I use Auto Proxy for the WIFI at my office. It lets me set it so that it will only connect to the proxy if a certain subnet.
Thanks. I'm actually watching that thread currently. It looks promising but it has one major problem for me.....no proxy.pac support yet.
Any other programs?
There seems to be a solution to the .pac issue here
Thanks for the link. That helps determining what happens in the pac file.
I've tried Autoproxy and ProxyDroid using what I found in the pac file but neither is working quite right for me. They say they're connected but then I'm unable to actually browse anywhere through the default web browser or Dolphin HD. Market place also doesn't work.
I pinged the server name from my computer where the pac file says it's going and got the IP address. I then used the IP address from the pac file to fill in the host destination and port info. It's weird because it says it's connected but traffic doesn't flow. There isn't any authentication that I'm aware of so I'm stuck on what to try next.
Does anyone know of a good external proxy that's safe and reliable that I can do some testing with?

Knips178, try the newest version of Autoproxy. If your network is on a windows domain, it may be using your domain username and password as NTLM authentication, so you can also try that with the IP address you extracted from the proxy.pac
Curious if anyone else has experienced this issue? Since upgrading to android 4.3 roms, I have not been able to use my home proxy correctly. Connections to my proxy have been successful, in that, android still reports internet connection, however when using apps (that are blocked on my work wifi) are showing no connection. 4.2.2 roms all work fine.
The app I'm using is ProxyDroid however I also tried setting the proxy in native settings with the same result. Is there a change in the implementation of proxy services since 4.2 roms? Thanks in advance.
Maybe it will work with Drony or SandroProxy

Drony, is the wrong kind of proxy (server not client). SandroProxy isn't working either though (I mean in 4.3), however its very difficult to use; It's possible I screwed up setting it up (still was showing 'listening 127.0.0.1').
Drony is subset of SandroProxy so it acts the same way. You probably need just Drony.

Interesting implementation. Perhaps I will try it again. I'm curious is there a widget for quickly connecting/disconnecting from proxy's? Unfortunately running through my house its not a very fast connection (one of the biggest reasons I went with ProxyDroid, there is a quick connect/disconnect).
Drony will go on if active wifi has proxy set on localhost 8020.
It goes off if wifi goes down.
What can you miss with Drony is that not all apps will work.
For example WhatsApp do not respect androiod os proxy settings.
To have all working you need rooted phone and SandroProxy.
It install his own local copy of iptables to redirect all traffic.
But has more features and it is harder to set up as you find out .
It is more a developer tool than a plain proxy.
There is some wizard to help you out.
And acts the same way as Drony listening if active wifi has proxy set that points to it.
