I have never got any app that hosts web page to work when I'm using mobile connection.
Wlan connection always works and another users seem to get it working using mobile connection.
Same problem with all ROMs that I have used. How to fix?

Ummm. What network are you on? Remember most networks use NAT so save IP addresses. So your web server might only work for other users on the same subnet of your provider.
A phone isn't an ideal server. Can't you spend $1 or so per month on shared hosting on a server somewhere?
This is why it works on WiFI, as you have a dedicated IP address.
How can an incoming connection to 155.55.55.55 (for example, which covers all your network's users) know to direct an incoming port 80 (web) request to your phone? As opposed to the many other people that would try this?
I think Vodafone UK gives individual Ips though, so you could switch provider if it matters

I do know what NAT is (as it always ruins everything). I was not aware that mobile connection uses NAT as I imagined that operators doesn't put their users under same ip.
I'm not hosting something that any server could, mostly access to my phone:
files, sms, remote usage etc.
So there is no way but change operator?

T-mobile definitely uses nat, as I have tried to ssh into my phone etc. I needed to make a listen server and dial into it from the phone.
So what you are doing needs a unique ip or upnp support (which I doubt android can do). But also it needs an isp that don't block ports or anything.
We use vodafone sims for remotely connecting to remote wind farms, as it allows incoming radmin connections.

I guess that no operator supports UPnP/IGD to poke holes in their NAT.
If it's only for transferring files, SwiFTP supports a proxy server that is provided by the author. SwiFTP doesn't support SSL, and I don't think that I would want to send the plain text password to my phone over the Internet.
Another possibility is a VPN from the phone to the PC or router. Than you can start a server like kWS, Android Desktop, PAW Server, I-Jetty, WebFileSystem, etc.
VPN sounds good, gonna try when I get to home.
I can get connection using vpn.
However if there are no connection for short time or phone is restarted then vpn connection goes away.
I would like it to reconnect asap but it isn't meant to be that way :/
Couldn't find anything to reconnect vpn.
I didn't try the built-in VPNs (Android 2.1), but it works fine with OpenVPN: even when changing from Wifi to 3G it reconnects after a few seconds. You need root for OpenVPN AFAIK. It works great with VillainROM 12 which comes with OpenVPN. There's a guide at the VillainROM forums.
Thanks got it working
Lol huge decrease to battery life, suppose you don't have any hints for that?
OK people... some of you people much cleverer than me PLEASE tell me there's a way around this.
My internet at home runs through a proxy server, so I have the IP address and port.
This internet connection is broadcast using wifi around my house. My PCs can connect to this just fine, using the IP and port in my Windows networking configuration.
My Vibrant will NOT work. Here are the scenarios I am dealing with :
If I connect to the wireless I can see my home network, and browse Windows network shares on my phone just fine.
If I go into the wireless | advanced | proxy settings (I am running a Bionix 2.2 ROM - Onyx 4.2 I think) and set my proxy IP and port then I can browse the internet in the default browser but NO other apps will make an internet connection. Odd since the proxy connection seems to me to be attached to the wireless connection, not the browser specifically.
So I installed and configured transproxy 3.8 beta (which doesn't seem to be vibrant specific, but installs and configures OK), and entered the same details and enabled the proxy connection, and NOTHING, including the default browser, will make an internet connection.
In all cases my connection to the wireless network itself is perfectly fine.
I've spent a couple of days trying to find a sensible solution to this, but have found nothing helpful.
Anyone out there had any similar experiences, or better yet found some kind of awesome solution ?
Very much appreciate any answers.
Ok before I give up completely, no one has gotten a Vibrant properly connected through a proxy server? It would at least be something to know it is known to be impossible, then I could stop obsessing and concentrate on being annoyed?
Anyone?

are you sure you use a proxy server? I've never seen a home network that uses one. A NAT firewall / router isn't a proxy server.
If you are running a proxy server, what do your proxy server logs say?
Can you access services on other than port 80? (email for example)
Proxy on a home network isn't out of the norm. I know guys who run them to block certain sites from their kids. Yes I know there are other options out there, they just decided to use a proxy server.

I know I am reviving a old thread, but I am also looking for a solution to this. I have tried using AutoProxy with no luck. It configures OK, but when it is on it is as if I have no network connection at all.
I don't need authentication, it is a HTTP 1.1 compliant proxy and all I need is host and port. In my case I set up a RabbIT4 proxy on a VPS linux host in a data center with multiple redundant tier one network providers. My proxy minifys HTML, JavaScript, and CSS - then gzips it. It also replaces ADs with a 1x1 transparent gif and re-samples all images to a quality 20 jpeg.
I used to run an ISP and we did this as an optional service for our dial-up customers. It REALLY improves slow connections.
So anyhow I would appreciate it if you let me know of any solutions you found this might work. Anyone with ideas please chime in.
Try flashing a different rom and see if you have the same problem....... It may be as simple as a conflict with that rom.
I have never heard of a case where this kind of problem exists. It sounds like a rom to wireless router conflict, but assuming it is exactly what you say, then if the setting are set for example, to have controls on access then, it would stand to reason remove them from the server side it should resolve the problem. But I would look at trying a different rom 1st,
The proxy works great on my desktop, and the phone's ROM has the option to set a proxy for the Wi-Fi connection (which works). The issue is I don't need the proxy for my Wi-Fi, that is fast - I need it when I am on the edge network, which is often.
I can't change ROM, Trigger 3.3 is too perfect for me to budge. I have both busybox and iptables, so I don't know what is up.
EDIT, I have tried 3 more apps with the same results, either they don't actually set the proxy and I have net, or they do set it and I lose connection. To be fair I have only been able to test when on Wi-Fi and I could set that from the ROM options, I need to try testing when I am on cellular - I just don't think it is going to make a difference.
Friggin proxies!

Proxies can be your friend, my friend! Imagine getting about 30kps on edge and your trying to look something up real quick, but the pages keep timing out. Meanwhile right next to you with the same basic connection is me, happily surfing away.
Why, because instead of sending my request to the website it went to my proxy, sitting in a class 3 data center in Los Angeles. My proxy made the request for me with its OC3 Internet connection, then took all the white space out of all the HTML, JavaScript, and CSS - then it gzipped it. It also converted all images to highly compressed low quality jpegs. Finally, it sent me back the reduced size data (reduced by about 78% in fact) and all the processing happened in the blink of an eye.
With a fast Internet connection the proxy just gives you lower quality pages with twice the page load time, but on slow connections it can be up to 5 times faster. Hmm. . . 5 times faster, where have I hear that before?? Oh yea, AOL, Earthlink, and others were promising that with their "Accelerated dial-up". Guess what?! This is exactly what they where doing. It is an old Dial-Up ISP trick. That is why I know how to do it. Now if only my phone would co-operate. Friggin proxies!

did you ever figure this out? I think I may have found how to do it without any applications but you'll need to be rooted.

Do tell [10 char]
Build prop edit but I dont have a server to test with...any chance you could set up a generic account on your server to test with? Pm the details instead of putting in open if you can.
Basically adding the entry
Code:
net.gprs.http-proxy=yourproxy
To the build prop. Im not certain if there are any other lines I need to add but would like to try.

I lost the VPS server in the data center I was using. For best results you want the proxy to have a much better Internet connection than what is being proxied. For example - my connection in the data center was 100Mbs both up and down. When I proxied something that had the basic bandwidth of a dial-up connection in the neighborhood of 32-56kbps the speed boost was about 5 times faster. Doing the same thing for my 5Mbs cable connection was actually about twice as slow, meaning my page load times in seconds showed doubled my average total time to completely load a page and speedtest.net showed about half the bandwidth.
So this trick here is the proxy really needs a VERY, VERY good and fast Internet connection - like you get from a good hosting provider. However, if you just want to test connectivity you can try setting up your own proxy.
Here is what I was using http://khelekore.org/rabbit/ - This runs via Java, so it should work wherever you have Java available. I have successfully run in on FreeBSD, Linux, Solaris Unix, and Windows.

Well this is a HTTP1.1 proxy, so you can pick any open port you want other than port 80 and it is HTTP traffic. So regardless of if they are using port blocking or protocol blocking, there really is not much way to keep you from using/running a proxy.
Any recommended other ports(like commonly open ones)

Certain port numbers are pre-assigned to particular applications by an international body called IANA, the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority.
8080 is assigned for HTTP-Alt, so it is the most commonly used and rarely blocked
1080 is assigned to socks (as in socks proxy) so the same applies
Just avoid a port number below 1024 so you don't conflict with a commonly assigned port and you should be fine.
I have an awesome idea...because I can't figure out how to set this ish up..set it up on your connection..i know it will be slow but just for proof of concept, send the details for access and i'll test it out..or you can edit your build.prop and test it. yep..unless you know an easier to setup one.

Or try this: http://aliveproxy.com/socks5-list/ or http://x-proxy.info/socks.php
These are pure HTTP proxys (like RabbIT4) and might work better: http://www.x-proxy.info/highanon.php
I tgink its a no go for now...nothing I put in the line will stay on reboot.

Do you mean a proxy, installed in your local network? If so yes, if not the proxy is also located in the internet somewhere and you need data to get there.

That's what I'm trying to establish, is data by going around the provider... Cuz you know they maintain a data connection to the phone but it's just for their purposes, so I'm thinking there's gotta be a way to slip around them using 'bypass ISP' command from the crossbreeder mod, then a tunnel VPN to a proxy I have setup on another network... It seems to me that it should be doable... It's the 'how' that's got me tripping up.

I'm not sure if I understand correctly, but I think you use that :
"CrossBreeder now includes the bypass censor functionality. This allows you to circumvent DNS based censors as used by most authoritarian countries. This basically works by bypassing your ISP's DNS servers and querying the 2 Google DNS servers and 2 L3 DNS servers only. These are usually faster anyway, more so due to the caching and parallelizing nature of the query. Thus if your ISP is blocking websites without telling you, you have a way out if this. You can enable it using the following command:
su -c "/system/etc/CrossBreeder/ENABLE_BYPASS_ISP""
So you bypass your ISP's DNS, and you want bypass all DATA from your ISP...if I understand... A simple way would be a VPN based on openVPN...but you don't need proxy, the data in the VPN will not be readable for the ISP... Another is to use just...a HTTPS-Proxy, or SOCKS (for android, I launch shadowsocks on my server).
Hope that can help you.
But even if you use a VPN or anything similar, you still need access to the ISPs network. And if the access is blocked completely you also cant connect to the vpn.

More then likely, the VPN is detecting the tethering connection causing it to try to encrypt that as well as the actual data connection.
I take it you're using an app to establish a connection to the VPN? try using the native VPN connection inside android. I have used a VPN with tethering before and I believe that was my setup.

Nope. You need the built-in VPN setup any time you tether. Whats happening is the VPN App is detecting the WiFi connection and you data connection as being "internet connections" therefore it tries to encrypt the WiFi and Data connections double encrypting the data. Or, its not sure what network to port the data through. Using the built-in VPN setup only allows the data connection to be "VPNed"
I used to use WiFi Tether For Root Users on my S4 but still had troubles with VPN until I manually set up the VPN in android.

Shouldn't be too hard. Just contact your VPN service provider, and ask them for the specific connection options you need. For instance, I know Private Internet Access allows you to connect without using their app. They have a webpage setup that has all the info you need depending which server you wish to connect to

I've been using NORDVPN for about a year now. The price was reasonable. They have lots of servers. It comes with both VPN and DNS proxy. It also has a feature that will use the right server for the service you are connecting to, automatically without having to switch server country myself.
Some of the big PC magazines have chosen it as the top VPN service overall.
