I bought the Tab thinking I will be able to use it at work (NYC Public School Teacher)
My school uses the following proxy setting to connect to the internet;
Server = Proxy
Port = 8002
This is all that is given by my IT Department.
All Mac and PC Desktops use this exact settings and all works fine.
Everyone using Ipads use this setting and it works fine.
When I enter this setting, the browser gives me "authentication via proxy server was unsuccessful"
Am I missing something? Is this an android limitation?
(I tried some 3rd party proxy apps and failed)
Please Help, Thanks in advance
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
Still not working

Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance.

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.
I bought my gtab about a week ago and have it running nicely with Vegan. I had some trouble with the market but thanks to this forum got it working
Here is my last real problem. I work at a hotel. We have wifi for our guests which redirects you to a login page when you open your browser. It does not require a password you just have to click a button to accept the terms. Until you do this you have no internet connection. I can connect and even pick up an IP address but it will not go to the authentication page thus no internet. I have tried manually entering the URL for the login page and have also tried the IP address for the login page. I have tried setting a static IP with he correct gateway and DNS addresses. I have even tried the wifi web login app. Nothing works.
Any ideas how I can get this working?

I assume you've tried installing different browsers?
sent from my g-tablet using tapatalk
I have tried the stock browser, Dolphin HD, Firefox, and Fennec. I am going to try Opera today. Has anyone had luck with any particular browser?
Hi,
I think some systems like hotel-provided WIFI work by setting a proxy into the browser. If that is the case with your situation, it may require a different kernel, plus an app. Search this forum for "proxy", e.g.:

Okay dumb question of the day. How would I determine if this wifi connection uses a proxy or not?
When I connect from my computer and run a tracert the first hop is the gateway and the second hop is always 192.168.50.1. Would that be the proxy?
I am Currently connected to this wifi with my laptop and I am not behind a proxy. I tried installing the Kernel referenced in the link you provided and also installed transproxy according to the thread still no go.
Does anyone have any ideas how I can get this thing to connect. My wifi indicator is on shows I am connected but no internet.
I've had my gtab connected on hotel wifi, and similarly on airport wifi. If I recall, the redirected confirm page opened in a second tab in the background but was not put in focus. I had to manually switch to citing the TnT browser. If that's not it also look for a floating frame within the same window. I've seen this show up way off to the side, really had to scroll around to find it.
Just checked this no go. I am getting the unable to connect page on every browser I try. I did not see any other tabs popping up either.
Okay so I sent an email to the tech support for our wifi network. They responded and said Adnroid devices have trouble with DHCP because of their network and that it should work if I set a static ip. Now the problem is how do I set a static IP in Vegan. I have tried the app Static IP and it doesnt' seem to wan to work.
Nevermind just figured it out.
Okay for those that are interested or may search and find this thread later. I never would have guessed that would fix it but using a static IP address solved the problem. Thanks to those who tried to help

Glad u got it working!
check your internet conection
I have always been confused with wifi connections with a proxy and how to use the proxy settings on my Xperia. After trying to setup the proxy, for use at my school, I think that it is impossible to use the proxy server with a username and password?
I'm sorry for my sentences or pronunciations, I tried to make them understandable.
I'd like to know if you can connect to connections like in schools etc...
Edit: I forgot to add that I am currently using FreeX10-beta3 and the Mod version says unknown since I installed GreenGlow 1.3 theme which has partial CyanogenMod settings.
PS: I tried to apply the proxy settings for the schools internet connection but the thing that pops up on a computer just doesn't pop up on my phone. It's a popup where I have to type my username and password.
I tried asking this question in the Q&A forum and nobody answered so Im gonna try here.
for proxy only the browser works other stuff doesnt as of now... i have tried many things... there is also an app ASPROXY but it doesnt work for us (X10) because we have very old kernel 2.6.29 which doesnt support iptables/netfilter
With the custom kernels being loaded now, will we be able to get the iptables/netfilter?
does anyone know how to make a working vpn connection with the touchpad?
i couldnt get one.
i have win 7
tried vnc too,
did anyone get an working vpn connection?
works for me. my proxy server uses pptp so i download pptp plugin from market and all's good.
I think if you have an ASA you can try the built in anayconnect client provided you have a mobile license activated on the Cisco otherwise use IPSEC on your gateway device. I never played with pptp on the touchpad before.
I saw this but what can I do by joining a VPN?
is there someone who can write up an a quick tutorial for the ones that dont know how to do it.
that would be apriated.
i want to control windows 7 remotly with it

Bump... Same question. Out of all the people who have recently bought the touchpad, there has to be someone out there that can give a short explanation on how to use the native VPN capability to connect to a Windows system. I have searched all over the net for the answer and have come across many unanswered forum threads.
Below are instructions I used on Win 7 to create an incoming VPN connection to make it available to be connected to.
pcworld. com/article/210562/how_to_set_up_vpn_in_windows_7. html (take the two spaces out of the link, cant post links yet since Im a NOOB!!)
Step by Step: Building a VPN (Incoming)
Step 1 Click the Start button, and, in the search bar, type Network and Sharing.
Step 2 Click Change Adapter Settings in the left-hand menu.
Step 3 Click File, and then New Incoming Connection.
Step 4 Select the users you'd like to give access to and click Next.
Step 5 Click Through the Internet and select Next.
Step 6 Select the Internet Protocol you'd like to use. (The default TCP/IPv4--the line highlighted in the screenshot below--will work fine.)

On the touchpad when using the Cisco AnyConnect VPN connection type and enter the host name, I get this error "Connection attempt has failed due to configuration issue with server"
When using the VPNC connection type, and enter the host name and password, I am prompted to fill in several fields that I dont know what to enter.
I use my laptop to log into my Win7 desktop all the time easily via the Remote Desktop Connection app. Hopefully there is something similar coming to the touchpad.
I have an openvpn subscription with strongvpn - this works well for the technically deficient peeps like myself to have an added layer of security when using windows machines in a public wifi area (i.e. hotels)
I asked strongvpn about any support for webos, and they were not sure of any workarounds to date. Any new ideas on this? I am using an open vpn (as opposed to their ptpp). They said that on rooted android devices open vpn will work following one of their tutorials.
If you are technically sound only then you will be able to set up a VPN and solve these kind of issues yourself..Average PC users like me will avoid indulging in these configurations as they are too complicated for us
Why not try an already established, reliable VPN service provider for touchpad??
you can definitely Google them and can choose amongst the choices you get..That would be far easier believe me
[Q] VPN support
I was wondering if anyone has tried vpn support on the touchpad? I am looking at using it overseas as a way to watch amazon VOD while I travel.
Edit: Found out I needed to download a free app from app catalog for PTP support. Works now when I connect to my school network. Also I found out that playon services work too on touchpad so I might try that for netflix.
I have a very nice 3G plan on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (P3100) with Ice Cream Sandwich and i want to use the tethering option to share my internet connection and advertise my business through it. I can successfully share my 3G over wifi but i wanna go a step further and install a proxy on my tablet (or something similar) so when someone accesses my tethering wifi connection gets redirected to a webpage of my choise before being able to access any other websites (just like most proxies work in Hotels/Airports etc but without the need of any password, maybe just pushing an "Accept" button after a few lines of info)
I have done a quick search and all i could find is how to connect to a proxy for internet use at my android device or how to setup a proxy server for USB tethering (with software installed at the PC) but i need a softwareless wifi solution based on http headers so that any device can use it.
I don't expect there is an app for what i wanna do but any direction to it, perhaps the source of a proxy server i could try to build under android SDK, would be greatly appreciated.
A 3G wireless router with OpenWrt installed is more suitable for you than an android phone:>
