proxy config APP ?

Anybody know some application that can configure proxy (use ou not) in each connection?
I use proxy for GSM data connection to work remotly (work network), but when connect by WiFi or GPRS I don't use proxy and have to enter configuration connections to disable...
Can I assign proxy settings to each connection?
Thanks

i had the same problem as well, do a search for proxy and you'll find it, also go to start>help and search proxy and it will tell you there.

But, do you know any software that can do it???
I know configure proxy any time but i want an app that can do it for me (in each connection)!
Thanks

Change which network each connection uses (ie work, internet - make more of your own) then each one can have different proxy settings.

Ok, this thread is a little old, but it is close to what I am looking at.
I just got my bill from O2 and I have been charged £1.50 for "GPRS data" although I think it is actually MMS messages being sent or received by GPRS. I am guessing this is because it is set up incorrectly by me.
I did have it set to collect MMS over the "mobile.o2.co.uk" settings (as opposed to the "wap.o2.co.uk" settings) and wifi could be enabled, but if I tried to use the browser without enabling wifi it automatically dialled the GPRS connection.
Could someone give me an idea on how to set it so that
A) MMS messages only count as MMS messages and are sent and received by GPRS.
B) WiFi is the preferred connection for everything else.
C) GPRS is available if WiFi is not available (and preferably after getting confirmation from the user), ie I dont have to find the settings and re-enter them.
I realise this is probably not possible, but any help and/or pointers are appreciated.

WiFi and proxy

Hello,
I have HTC Touch, and I'm trying to connect to wifi with ISA proxy.
First, I connected to home wifi (no proxy) and accessed internet without problem.
At work we have Radius etc. but I also connected, and I can surf to pages inside company (no need for proxy), but I can't get out to internet.
Any suggestion would be great!
tnx
small update: looks like I was surfing at work through usb cable, not wifi. But now I can't even connect to wifi at work, which I could before. Funny things going on, I'll reset.
Update2:
Newest status is: wifi connected, can surf internal sites, but can't go outside company network.
I suspect that IE is not going through the proxy at all. Which implicates that I don't know how to setup IE to use proxy on WM6???

If you edit "My Work Settings" thru Settings -> Connections -> Connections you can edit the proxy settings there. Then you say "connect to internet" thru "My Work Settings". I may be wrong, but I think you need to reset the pda as well...

OK, here are my settings:
under settings-connections-connections, advanced - select networks:
"Programs that automatically connect to Internet should connect using:" My Work Network.
When I click Edit, under Modem, there are no entries.
Under Proxy settings, "This network connects to internet" and "this network uses a proxy.." are both checked.
"Proxy server" field is disabled.
Under Advanced:
Socks line has serverort next to it. Others are empty. Server and port are good.
I click ok on all and go to IE. Type www.google.com, it says "Locating.." and that's all. Internal web sites are opening ok.
I tried to turn it off, and back on.
Tried google, not working.
I checked all settings once again and tried then, still nothing.

This is a common problem and I have not found a solution for it myself yet.
The proxy settings are lost when you apply them, and the SOCKS server settings behaves weirdly.
Anyone knows what can be done?

i want to know how to do this too... my school is also using the same system.

still no update
no update ??

configfree from Toshiba
Dear,
I had an old E800 from toshiba where configfree is installed. With this program I can configure proxy for wifi in 10 sec and it works.
does someone know where we can find this program for other PDA. I want to try it on my Cruise.

I'm also having the same issue. Can anyone help, please?

From my experiences I can tell you: THERE IS NO WAY TO MAKE HTC AND HTTP PROXY FOR WIFI RUN. Neither with WM6.0 nor 6.1 nor a special brand nor the original firmware.
I have tried to inform HTC support, but I'm extremely pessemistic, that at least one will care. It seems to be not a WM related problem, because my WM6 ASUS doesn't have that issue.
There is a work around for browsers only: Don't use Pocket IE, use Minimo, because this browswer has it's own proxy setup. But it doesn't help you much, if you want to use other applications.
EDIT: Just to inform you, what happens, if you upgrade to WM6.1: The proxy settings are kept (HURRRAY) ---- but ignored completely It's _that_ brain damaged...
Regards

I can confirm the same "symptoms": proxy is totally being ignored on WM6.1. However, they're kept when you close the settings.

Proxy over WiFi works for me and has done with my previous HTC Wizard and now with my Kaiser. I have checked with a sniffer that I am definitely using the proxy over port 8080 (MS ISA 2006).
I have explained this before but this is how my device is setup.
ActiveSync/Windows Mobile Device Centre - Connection Settings set to 'This computer is connected to: Work Network' - Setting this to Automatic or The Internet deletes any Proxy Settings on the device when you connect it.
WiFi. My home WiFi SSID Network set to 'Connects to: Work'
Connections. 'Tasks' tab - Two settings 'My ISP' & 'My Work Network'. Advanced Tab, Select Networks. Top settings 'Programs that automatically connect to the Internet should connect using: My ISP'. Bottom settings 'Programs that automatically connect to a private network should connect using: My Work Network'. Under 'My ISP' I have the GPRS details for my carrier (Vodafone). Under 'My Work Network' I have a proxy defined with the Advanced settings configured - HTTP set to my proxy with the port 8080 and Socks set to my proxy with port 1080.
That's it and has worked for me since Windows Mobile 6.0 appeared for the Wizard. I used the same settings when I first got my Kaiser with WM 6.0 and now with WM 6.1 (more or less stock 5.2.19212) and it has worked every time.

There are too many wifi connection in the present. But the best thing is to choose the right one. Can you tell me to choose the right one with no Proxy service. Thanks

[Q] How to auto-switch to MMS connection when receiving a message

I'm on Vodafone and I have different Internet connections for MMS and Internet (maybe all operators do the same, I don't know).
Right now, my 3G / HSDPA connection is almost always on. I don't know why, because I only set the e-mail to auto-check each hour, but after that the connection remains on until I shut it down manually or I connect the phone to the USB cable.
Every time I receive a MMS I get a notification for a few seconds asking me if it should disconnect the active connection to get on the MMS connection. Then I have to press Menu, then Yes.
Is there a way to give this MMS a higher priority to automatically download my MMS, then disconnect? Or to automatically disconnect 3G / HSDPA connection when it's not in use?

Just set your Internet connection to download MMS too.
MESSAGES -> MENU -> MMS OPTIONS -> SERVERS
There chose your MMS server
Then CONNECT VIA -> set your internet connection.

Nope, it didn't work that way. I tried with "The Internet" and also with my Internet data settings, but it won't download the MMS - just pop up an error that it can't download the message. Only "Vodafone MMS" works in "Connect via".
So the question stands. Maybe there's a way to automatically disconnect from 3G when no apps are using Internet. I can't believe that MS were such idiots when they designed this operating system...

You can use Advanced Config tool to close 3G session on idle, thanks to Menu > More Parameters > Connexions ...

Strange. My internet connection "live!" manages to download my MMS too.
Sorry that I could not help you.

I also have a "Live" profile, but I use one called "Mobile Internet" because "Live" has some ports blocked (for e-mail and other stuff). 10x for the help anyway.
I will try the advanced config method.

No, it's not. At least not for the ROMs based on R2A I've been using.
Had to change my MMS connection to "live!" in every ROM so far.

WM6.1 Networking

I'm sorry to bring this up again folks, I have read and searched forum for similar threads but am still confused.
I find the WM6.1 network connections interface very confusing. Can anyone tell me step by step how to setup vodafone?
Should it be setup as part of "My Work Network" or as its own "Vodafone Live" ?
When I set it up, I still want my phone to use my WiFi connection at home as default, and only use vodafone live if I specifically tell it to. Is this possible ?
Under Netwotk Management
Surely "programs that auto connect to the internet" and "programs that auto connect to a private network" would be one and the same no ? What about when we use our private network to connect to the internet (via router etc) ??
as I say, I find the entire windows mobile networking system a mess, very confusing and have never gotten vodafone live working properly.
btw, my phone is HTC Touch HD
Many thanks for any desperately needed help

Update...
If I setup the phone to use just "My Work Network" under both "programs that auto connect to the internet" and under "programs that auto connect to a private network"....
and then manually setup vodafone under the "My Work Network" device as follows...(using my local vodafone settings)
1. add new modem connection
2. name it (vodafone etc)
3. select modem to cellular line (gprs, 3g)
4. enter apn "live.vodafone.com"
5. username and password - "vodafone"
6. under "My Work Network" setup proxy as 10.24.59.100
7. under advanced set socks to 10.24.59.100:1080
Then it works. I can disable wifi, enable data connection and browse the internet.
THE PROBLEM here, is that if I go into college, and use my phone over their wifi, the proxy server gets changed thus disabling vodafone all over again.
So, it works if you set it up manually under the "My Work Network" device. But I need it set it up as a seperate device so that the proxy doesnt get messed up. I have tried editing the auto created "vodafone live" device, it just wont work. I tried editing the "my isp" device but that has no proxy setting.
Can anyone please help me make any frickin sense of this. ?

Thanks in advance.

+1 for the script
why do you want it to disable then enable wifi. this will slow it down why not just enable/disable proxy
also you can emulate what you are trying to do with "wifi profiles"
create two profiles one with the proxy and one without. "wifi profiles" can create a shortcuts to change the profile and activate the wifi with a single touch

Because proxy are enabled/disable with out disable/enable wifi after applying proxy, the proxy do not work. Please do not ask 'why', as I have no clue, but works when I do disable/enable wifi.

Thank you very much to pointing me to that program. It does exactly what I wanted including enable/disable of wifi on profile selection. If anybody else is looking for same thing then please find it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=355936
