Wifi Proxy settings for Xperia X8 - XPERIA X8 General

I recently bought this device, but I am disappointed since there are no wifi proxy settings.
I rooted it and installed trans proxy, proxymator etc,
but i cant use the web through wifi proxy,
any solution ?

I mean using google services and browsing by through a proxy on wifi

You can do PPTP vpn if u need to, web proxy is so last century..

There's no wifi proxy baked into android. This makes it useless for most enterprise networks, I.e. you can't use an android with a radius server for enterprise WPA authentication and proxy. Apparently we might be getting it in gingerbread.
If you look in the general android discussion there's a kludge that kinda works.
Your other option is to get an iPhone, ios has had support for wifi proxy/ enterprise wpa from the get go.
I know, it's ridiculous, blame Google...

Is it possible to do on X8 ?

It won't work if you are connecting via ad-hoc. You may install connectify to your laptop and use that internet connection for your x8/whatever phone/device.

wifi
Isn't any app that can help up with the proxy settings?
I am beginning to get sick of this phone and this OS, no wifi proxy, no way to install to SD card except of hundreds of steps, google navi doesn't work, get's stucked at the beginning, exagerated price for unlocking...

Try custom Rom.. floyo has proxy in settings
Sent from my X8 using XDA App

As I see you posted in this thread Racht, I ask you how to configure an OpenVPN in Floyo.
Do I have to install something ?
I tried with a .conf file but I don't know where to put the .ca certificate.
I also tried to install OpenVPN config.
Have you got a link to a good tutorial ?
Thanks.

hi, please u check for ASProxy from market, it works for me.. but it is paid version.. and required rooted device only..

I thought about a custom rom, but it seems I couldn't find a stable one here, all have bugs with either bluetooth, camera or gps, and maybe I am too blind to find an xrecovery link to download it.Do you have a link with a good rom? Thanks in advance

ASProxy requires your phone to be rooted and iptables are required.
How to add iptables to X8 ?

iptables?
i really dont know about it, but it is fully working for me.. as i rooted it, then install this apps.. it is working like expected..

WPA Enterprise WiFi Working

Hey guys I was just searching in the market place and i found this wifi editing app. After playing around with it I was able to connect to my campus's wifi, which is an enterprise connection.
Its called-Wifi Advanced Config Editor by Marcus905
Check it out here for more info.
http://myxperiax10.blogspot.com/2010/09/wifi-enterprise-connection.html
LOL for me it has a free open wifi but it has a proxy on it which i cannot input into my xperia
thank you for the link!
i was finally able to connect eduroam!!!
my uni has two options to connect..
-connect to eduroam using password, and once connected you are free to use the internet
-connect to open uni network, then input ur uni id and p/w to connect... which is FRUSTRATING if you lose a signal or something and need to reconnect...
thanks a bunch!!
thanks for that, will have to try it out when I go uni.
It seems to work on and off for me with my uni wifi. I found it a couple of weeks ago.

Me too. We can't use transproxy also. It needs iptables. I installed it but iptables is not waorking without enabling netfilter in the kernal. So we have to recompile the kernal with netfilter enabled. But it is useless because the bootloader is not hacked yet.

[Q] Looking for Proxy app

Hello,
I haven't found anything quite related to what I'm looking for (similar, but involving the GPRS vs WiFi settings)
I'm curious if anyone knows of an app that when you connect to a WiFi network, it will automagically set the proxy server and port required for that WiFi network? One WiFi network I use requires a proxy, but the rest do not. It's annoying to have to change it all the time. It would be great to find an app that when it detects I've connected to the wifi that requires the proxy it figures out which one I'm connected to (either via BSID, ESSID, SSID, MAC etc) and sets the proxy if required. Heck a shell script on a rooted phone could do the setting just fine, but it's the first part I'm stuck with.
Thanks!
I've been looking for an app like this too. My school makes me use a proxy but my home does not and it sucks having to change it every time I go to school or home.
Hey guys can you tell me how to change to the proxy settings. I dont mind switching back and forth but the proxy settings should work. I've my proxy set at 192.168.11.5 and port 3128. How do i use internet with that ?

Go to Settings -> Wireless and Network -> Wifi, then press the Menu button and press advanced settings.
Hey, so this doesnt do exactly what you want, but its a quick and easy thing. Search the forums, or just google "xda transproxy" I use it now, and the latest beta is very stable. Connects to my schools proxy, and everything works. Or, download orbot from the market..but i personally dont like it, too many steps to do a simple thing. But, to each their own. Anywho, just search and download, and install with your file manager of choice, make sure you set up the port, and ip address before you start the proxy. oh..and on my droid incredible, with virtous 3.1, I had to reboot before I could access the market. Your results may very.

Dude, that did pretty much exactly what I wanted and so much more. Before I could only use the Internet Browser but now I can use any app. I love this app.
Going to give it a try myself, thanks!

ASProxy
I think ASProxy is what you need. For every WiFi network you connect to, you can specify which proxy to use. Besides that, it does NTLM-authentication as well, which is often required in corporate environments.
First I used TransProxy for quite some time, which is great if you only use 1 WiFi network with a proxy (you can use other WiFi networks without the proxy) and don't need NTLM authentication. Then I discovered ASProxy (found a review on android-machines.blogspot.com) which is great, if you need different proxy settings for each WiFi network.

[Q] Wifi with proxy = OK! But no market and other apps...

Hi!
I'm a novice in the Android, XDA world...
I recently bought a G3, and after 1 day I had upgraded to Froyo.
But I'm having some troubles with proxy...
At my home, I don't need it, so everything works fine using my wifi connection.
But at work, I configure the proxy and Web Brower, Navigation, and others apps keeps working.
OTHO, some apps can't connect (eg. market, maps, rom gripper, etc).
Anybody knows where I can configure the default way of general apps connect to internet?
TKS.
The proxy probably filters your traffic and blocks it on not well-known ports. You should ask its administrator for details on what kind of traffic it allows (if that is feasible).

The proxy only allows connections on port 3128.
Do you think that some apps just woks with port 80?
And, if that's the case, anybody knows how to change it?

I'm using native G3 proxy settings. I tried connect using proxy with other apps but anyone did it for me, just the android's stock.
I need a file on system that allows me to change the connection configurations (I mean... I think I need it! )
Hey, Nathan I'm having a similar problem except that only port 8080 is open through proxy.
I am using transproxy to connect to the net.
All apps work except Market downloads and Gtalk dont work.
Did u get a solution ?

I can't do it yet. Here, the port that is open is 3128.
Some apps just bypass the proxy settings.
Even when I let the proxy (configured because my workplace network)configured, market works at my home (where there's no proxy).
But browser and others (that works fine with proxy) don't.
I don't know if this is a built-in app configuration (if it is, the only way is to create a route, using the address called by app, redirecting to the proxy - actually, I thought in that just now! I'll test it later! ), that is present on Market, Navigation, Maps and others...
Or if this is a system configuration. If it is, all we need is to find where its defined and change that.

No. Using G3 stock's proxy settings, some apps can't connect to the internet.

That's because somebody(as u mentioned) changed the proxy settings,u will have to undo it and they would work again.
