[Q] Global proxy app? - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a Wifi network in my workplace that goes through a HTTP proxy to access the Internet. I'm looking for a way to set a global proxy on my DZ, so that traffic from all apps will automatically go through it.
I've tried ProxyDroid app, but it either doesn't work or I don't know how to set it up: I type in my proxy settings, proxy is set to global and the app says it's connected, but no app can access the web.
I'm on InsertCoin 1.6.1 rom, su is up to date and superuser reports that ProxyDroid has been granted root access.
Can someone help?

Locking down proxy settings?

Hi,
Anyway to lock down the proxy settings in the connection manager?
At work we have a different proxy to access the internet via a pc than the one we use on the mobile devices.
When the device is synched up, it will pull in the proxy setting from the pc, resulting in the user not being able to access the internet.
Any way to stop it picking up the setting on sync?
Cheers

How to force the use of proxy ?

I want to connect to internet via a wifi proxy running on another computer. I have configured the network as 'Work'. Also configured the proxy at Start->Settings->Connections->Proxy . Also did PIE->Menu->Tool->Options->Connections Select (i.e check) "Automatically Detect Settings".
But PIE keeps connecting directly to internet via wifi. The direct connection also alows the internet access but I want to go via proxy. The setting in PIE "Automatically Detect Setting" uses proxy if there is no direct access to inetrnet.
Any idea how I can force PIE to use proxy instead of direct Wifi access.
Thanks
I do not think it is possible by the sounding of it, it does not seems possible but I could be wrong.
It seems that the use of proxy is dependent on the application implementation. Some application do use proxy and some do not. e.g. PIE uses it but messaging do not.
The behavior is similar to desktop applications. There also each application has its own proxy setting. In WM, apps do not have individual proxy setting, but they chose whether to use proxy or not.

Look into function ConnMgrEstablishConnection and dwflags (flags to request proxy)
Now to answer my own question. How to force apps to not to use proxy. There are three ways.
1. Delete all proxy.
2. All set up connection as "work" connection but set up work URL exceptions as */* or *
3. Set up connection as "internet".
Now to force the connection to use proxy. I do not think there is any way to do this. And this is what I wanted to do.

[Q] Wifi Proxy Settings

I am in college and provided with internet behind a proxy server which requires authentication.
I have tried different market apps but none of them seems to work on wifi.
Can anyone please suggest how can I make internet run on my phone behind a http proxy server that requires authentication.
I am using a HTC Desire Z with Virtuous Unity v 2.39.0 rom installed on it.
The phone is rooted.

[Q] Specifying a proxy to connect to the internet (Sense ROMs)

Is it possible to specify a proxy server address to connect to for accessing internet on our phones?
I use a proxy server to connect to the internet for my PC, I'd like to use the Internet-pass-through service but it doesn't work.
I've tried making a wireless(ad-hoc) network through my PC and shared the internet connection too but that doesn't work either.
I tried MIUI ROMs for a month or so before and they have the option to specify the proxy address in the settings itself. Is there any such option/tweak/mod/app for Sense ROMs that I might have missed?
Go to settings>>wireless&networks>>WiFi-settings. When on WiFi screen press menu button then advanced.

Duh! Thanks.. *feeling stupid*
btw, which protocol does the market use? I've configured the proxy address on my phone and its working fine for the browser but the market is reporting connection failure. The proxy that I'm using allows only HTTP/HTTPS.

[Q] Setting up and using Proxy

I downloaded ProxyDroid and used a free proxy listed on http://www.idcloak.com/proxylist/proxy-list.html
Set up the proxy and turned it on, but it doesn't seem to be being used by any of the Internet tools, Chrome, YouTube etc...
Anyone use something like this?
