Hello
I'm trying to get an HTTP proxy working while on 3G on my phone. I've tried pretty much every proxy app I could find and I've tried adding the proxy IP and port to the 3G settings as well, no luck.
The proxy uses username/password authentication, I think that's what's causing the issues.
If anybody successfully set up HTTP proxy on their DHD, please enlighten me

Greetings all, new user here with a TyTN issue.
I have a TyTN I am having trouble to send/receive POP3 mail while connected to Wi-Fi network with proxy server. I have searched web for solution but did not find anything specific, I hope someone can point me to the right direction here.
This issue only happens when I am connected to my work network. With my current setting I can browse web with IE but not send/receive POP3 mail. I receive following error message "Messages can not be downloaded to your mobile device. Make sure you are connected and that your e-mail account settings are correct. Then, try to download messages again.".
My wireless network configuration are
all default except "Connects to:", which is set to Work instead of The Internet.
My proxy settings are
"This network connects to the Internet" - checked
"This network uses a proxy server to connect to the Internet" - checked
Under Advanced, HTTP proxy's port changed to 8080, Socks proxy port changed to 8080 with sock 5 selected, WAP and Secure WAP were left blank.
My IEEE 802.11b/g Compatible Wi-Fi Adapter settings are
"Use server-assigned IP address"
I have tested my TyTN in free Wi-Fi lounges where proxy isn't needed, I didn't have any problem send/receive e-mail. I have also tested send/receive e-mail via GPRS, that worked fine too. Discussing this issue with our IT department, they suggested to change setting under IEEE 802.11b/g Compatible Wi-Fi adapter to "Use specific IP address" and uncheck use proxy server setting under Network setup. I was able to send/receive e-mail when applying the above 2 changes to bypass proxy server. My question now is can I setup mail to work with proxy server instead of change network settings to bypass proxy server? Any help'd be greatly appreciated, thanks.
I have a smartphone (Dash) which I use on T-Mobile (USA).
So I've been able to use zaTunnel to set up a ssh connection between my dash (via wap.voicestream.com) and my ssh server. I've set up a few tunnels.
But for the life of me, I cannot figure out how to configure apps to use these tunnels.
For example, how to make Opera Mini work through this tunnel? Google Maps?
Yes, I am aware of the epc workaround, but I'd like to figure our this other method as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Judging from the zaTunnel screenshots/documentation, you can only tunnel 1 port at a time. What you would need to do is run a HTTP proxy on your "ssh server" and tunnel that port through, and then point your applications to the new port. (IP of 127.0.0.1, with a port of whatever you put)
But why do that? If you have your settings correct, Opera Mini and Google Maps should work without any tunneling, because T-Mo's web proxy will let that traffic through.
You mean, using wap.voicestream.com, with proxy 216.155.165.50:8080, Google Maps and Opera Mini will work? I thought I tried that and found it didn't work.
Actually, ZATunnel allows you to set up as many port forwards as you want, but all through a single ssh connection.
dont use your providers proxy
set up your http proxy on your server at the end of the tunnel and have it listen on a port - eg. 8080
setup a tunnel from 8080 to 8080
then configure your proxy in the app to use proxy 127.0.0.1:8080

Yes, thanks for the reply. But is exactly that last step that I do not understand how to do. Howe do you configure the proxy "in the app"? For example, how do you specify a proxy for Google Maps or Opera Mini?
is there anyway to connect to a http proxy that needs a username and password? when i had a ipod touch i could connect to my schools http proxy and use my username and password to browse the internet. On my htc hero i found a way to set the proxy but not the username/password it requires. ive searched all day trying to find an anwser but cant.
Have you checked with sprint? Not sure if it is possible with android. Also may be specific to the browser you are using.
i dont have sprint
I think I recall Dolphin browser having a proxy setup option. May get it from the market and check it out.
Hi,
Anyone know how to set proxy for secure wifi connection?
I can't find proxy setting in my wildfire wifi setting and also browser setting.
Do i need to download certain software?
it's not implemented in Android yet. See the WifiProxy ThinkTank thread in the dev section.
from the market download "proxySetting", but it still doesn't support proxy authentication and no socks5 proxies.
So I can use my android as a WAP so can I also use my phone as a proxy server aswell or route traffic to another proxy transparently?
