What browser you can use to bring in a network connection with a http proxy (also requires authentication) since the proxy is not provided in Android 2.1?
Thanks
As my dad used to say, "We can do this the easy way or the hard way."
The hard way is: http://alexmogurenko.com/blog/programming/android-how-to-set-proxy-for-android-browser/
The easy way doesn't yet exist. Numerous complaints on Google's support forums about this.

Does anyone know of an app that allows your phone to become a web proxy?
Let me explain my situation... I work for a corporation that filters all their internet connections through a web proxy, which sucks cuz I can't visit any of the fun sites... one way around this I've found was to use ICS on my phone but that interferes with the default gateway on the current network.
All traffic on the network by default goes to an internal gateway on the local intranet and it really needs to stay this way because there are too many work ip's and ports to be able to statically route all of them through a specific destination and leave the default gateway as the ICS 192.168.1.1.
I have been able to create static routes to specific ip addresses (like my home computer) which override the default gateway and use ICS instead.. this is great but obviously not that great for web browsing and masking my use on the internet... what I would like to be able to do is set the HTTP proxy to my phone and have it handle all of the redirection... that would allow me to have a single route in the routing tables but span out to wherever I want on the web...
Oh, and yes, I have thought of just setting up a proxy on my home comp and routing through the phone -> home comp -> back through phone but that obviously limits me to the upstream bandwidth of my home network... which isn't TERRIBLE, and is feasible but obviously if I could eliminate the extra jump it would be much much better.
I can handle the routing tables np, they're easy to add from command-line.. problem is I need some kind of a proxy application on the phone that will handle all of the HTTP calls... anyone know of an application such as this?
Thanks
Hm can't say I know of an app that does this... it is planned for one of the upcoming releases of WMWifiRouter but that's still a while away and may give you the gateway issue again.

Ya I did more googling and still can't find anything... I just setup dante server on my linux vm at home and got a good socks proxy going.. seems to be working very well.. my upstream on cable is 80k/sec so that's not too bad I guess.
I'll keep an eye on wmwifirouter release notes though thanks
Hi,
first thing I want to say, this is a very great board. Just flashed my first cooked rom on my german HTC Kaiser (t-mobile brand) and I'm very impressed by all the things the people here in the board get out of this little phone ;-)
But know I have a problem, I could find no answer for.
I am using a ssh tunnel on my device to tunnel some of my internet connections which are established through my mobile provider.
For this I'm using Mobile putty's tunnelling support to create a local socks proxy through which I tunnel my connections. The problem is, some applications like mobile outlook doesn't seem to have proxy support, so the only chance i see to tunnel them is, to tell windows mobile in the connection settings to use the proxy for all of my connections. The problem about that is, I think, then my putty would'nt be able conect to the ssh server, because it would be also forced to connect through the proxy, although it is the proxy itself (i hope this is unterstandable, because English is not my native language ;-) .
So I'm searching for a way to do an exclusion like it is possible under a non mobile windows to say for example, "don't use the proxy for this addresses", or something like freecap with tunnels applications without proxy support through a socks proxy. But I didn't find this setting nor a tool do accomplish this.
So Is there a way to do this unter windows mobile 6.1?
Another nice thing would be a tool, to dynamically switch between a direct connection and a proxy, so if there's a way for this too, I would be very happy to learn about that either.
Thanks for your help,

Hi!
I've searched nearly the entire internet to find something maching my problem, but i can't find anything.
My Problem is, that Vodafone Germany has got a limitation of usable Ports in some of their Dataplans. That means that i can only use port 80 and 443 through their Proxy server. For Browsing and webmailing this is ok, but if i want to use the market or Wikitude or ShopSavvy for example i need a Wlan to access the internet with this apps.
I logged the Wlantraffic and found out, that most apps are communicating over port 80 and 443. Their not using the Vodafone Proxy because i always get an connection error when i am trying to use it over the cellular network.
So the big main question is: How can i force the apps to use the defined Proxy Server, the browser is allready using?
I need no Username or password for it. Just adress and port.
Is there a way to reroute all traffic through this proxy? Is there an app to set a global proxy? (Not the ones out in the market to set a browser proxy, because they are really only for the browser)
It would be so nice if someone has an idea, because i am looking for weeks now to use the phone on the go with all its extras!
T-Mobile G1 with -Cupcake 1.5 orig. non rooted-

PS: Previously i had a Windows Mobile 6.1 Device and everything was working fine, because all apps were using the proxy server i set in the connection settings.
I search that for a long time too!
I'm in china.I get on Internet use a wap gateway which is called cmwap that only open 80 port.
Now I set proxy from APN setting that could only makes browser to go,but all the other apps couldn't .
I tried gnu http-tunnel in Debian, but that need for a hts the http-tunnel server.
I don't know if I can use something for the Android apps.
My idea was to set a manual route to route all traffic that runs over port 80 and 443 to the vodafone Proxy, but to do that i have to root my phone, and i don't want to do that because i wouldn't loose my warranty.
Maybe there are possibilities in Android 1.5 that came out.
It would be fine if some "Pros" could make an answer.
Necroposting much?
if you just want to bypass the limitation of http proxy,then it's possibile using openvpn over http proxy
openvpn in tcp mode allow client to connect to server through an http proxy.just setup an openvpn server use tcp mode,and install openvpn on your android phone and configure it to use the proxy provided by your isp, that's all.
I am sure this is some where in this forum which I am just missing. I have spent 6 months searching for what seems to be a common issue by design. That is a solution to setup LAN Proxy Servers, specifically authenticated ones. I've found nothing that is a good fix, the best has been to setup an pass through proxy on a local workstation and then set your Gateway as that machine. The only issue with that is anyone on the network could do the same and all traffic would be logged as me. I work in the IT department so I could do so pretty easily, but that isn't a solution for other people on our network.
Is there anyone that has come up with a good solution, setting method or app to solve this?
If not something to think about is create an app that is a proxy server on the phone (so it acts as the local workstation) in the above example.
Better yet if it was just apart of the WiFi settings (and if you could set them per SSID), but that is probably more of a Google/OS thing.
Thanks,

the company i am current working also use VPN by setting the IP adress
the concrete operation is a little complicated, you'd better google for help
Good luck
The easiest solution would be to use 3G/4G and thus avoid any filter/proxy that your company WiFi has.
Assuming you don't want to do that, you should try to figure out what kind of VPN you're using. There are 4 main types:
1) PPTP - This one is old but supported in almost every OS natively (including Android). It's easy to setup a server for these using any Pro version of Windows. It's also easy to block.
2) L2TP - This one is more secure but also less supported. This one is also fairly easy to block. I think only Server editions of Windows can create this type of VPN.
3) IPSec - This is your Cisco-type VPNs. These tend to be more difficult to setup on the server side. Depending on how the network is configured this may be blocked too (but less likely).
4) OpenVPN - This is probably your best bet to avoid workplace blocking. You can configure it to use any protocol or port that you want, however it is very difficult to configure for a first time user. There are tutorials available online to help. You'll need an app (and maybe root) to use an OpenVPN-based VPN.
