I have a rooted Moto X 1st Gen on stock 4.4.4 with Xposed Framework installed.
I cannot connect to the Internet with my university's proxy settings without the use of Proxydroid, while everyone else can browse the Internet on the same WiFi network without being rooted, though certain apps like WhatsApp don't work.
For me, nothing would work just by applying the proxy settings but with Proxydroid I can use the browser (need it to work without Proxydroid as well) and WhatsApp as well, but not the stock Email app, which is very frustrating.
I had installed a number of ad-blocking software but uninstalled all of them except for an ad blocking Xposed module, and also have Gravitybox installed. Any help?

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 use a wifi connection that has proxy enabled.
Browser, play store, even the xda app work on the wifi.
However, apps like Viber and whatsapp only seem to work on my data connection. not on the wifi.
I guess this is because they arent using the proxy. The same apps work on a windows phone.
Is there any way to apply a system wide proxy or proxy even for specific apps?
My HTC One S, running ICS, is just 2 days old and i do not want to root.
Ideas ?
Update: If anyone finds this, the fix is to delete any proxy settings listed in your APN settings (system settings>Mobile Networks>APNs - delete the proxy settings and then menu>save).
When I was on stock I used adfree android (rooted) to change the hostfile and prevent any ads. It worked great on wi-fi and mobile data.
On android 4.2.2 (using CM 10.1) it doesn't work on mobile data. When on wi-fi all ads are blocked, but when I see H+ in the status bar and am using mobile data, I still see them. I'm rooted and have given it superuser permissions. Adblock plus, adfree android and adaway don't work either. Any ideas? Would love to get rid of those ads again!
I've seen this article but my understanding is that it only affects non-rooted devces, as root can automatically set the proxies or whatever it needs to do?
Download the host file at this thread. Hopefully it will help.
I edited this thread after posting as I only just found out that it wasn't working on 3g and was on wi-fi - I thought it universally wasn't working.
This made googling much easier and I found the problem: go into your APN settings and delete any proxies listed. Reboot and ta-da!
Fixed.
Good app. i testing app.
Hi all, first post since I lost my last account login. On to business:
First off, I'm running an HTC One XL which doesn't seem to be an option in the user CP, whatever.
HTC One XL, rooted.
TWRP 2.7.1.0
4.4.4 Paranoid Android 4.6 Beta 1
Minimal GAPPS, just the framwork and play store.
Xposed Framework running Xprivacy
Orwall forcing all traffic through Orbot
Full disk encryption.
The problem is that I want to install Adblock Plus and have all traffic, WiFi and mobile be filtered for ads. I just can't seem to get it working.
I install Adblock, even allow it SU, I've tried turning on 'Local Traffic' in Orwall, forcing it through Tor, keeping it fenced and allowing it to bypass Tor. I've added a proxy address of 'localhost' on port '2020' of both the WiFi connection and my APN. Nothing, Orbot connects as usual but no traffic is getting through, I think Adblock's local server is being blocked somewhere but I don't know where.
I'm sure it worked briefly after I first installed it but then my phone randomly rebooted and I've not got it working since.
I'm very happy with my build up to this point with security and anonymity being very strong in the setup. Adblock would really put the cherry on top.
Help?
EDIT: Thinking about this further, I realsied that both Orbot and Adblock Plus are both proxy services and need to be configured in series such as:
WiFi or Mobile connection -> Orbot -> Adblock Plus
In order to configure a proxy in Orbot requires root permissions, something the Orbot devs strongly suggest you do not do and I'm inclined to agree. Therefor I've decided to use a Host file solution instead, maybe this thread will be of use to someone if they stumble upon it via a search engine. I hope so, I've spent far too many hours on this already.
Anyone have any issues with VPN setup on their rooted Edge 40 Pro? I tried to setup a new VPN and get a message that there is already an always on VPN running and to remove before new one can be added. Problem is there is no VPN setup already.
I have Magisk with safetyney, systemless hosts, debloater & liboemcrypto disabler modules installed. Adaware, but switched the local web server off. Nothing else that I can think of that might affect VPN setup.
Any ideas, gratefully accepted
Looks like this may be a feature of the current release. There is no VPN option for me under settings network & internet. Someone else posted the same issue on the Lenovo support forum. So will see what support come back with.
