Proxy for Android
Why would you?
I think that most users of Android devices have encountered such a problem as proxy settings. The problem is not universal in scope, but this is no less unpleasant.
I am the owner of the Acer A500 tablet and as some may know, unlike my fellow A501, there is no way to use 3g (without resorting to artisanal races with a 3g modem), and in version 4 you can’t stick the modem at all, because with root-rights is a problem (although what I'm lying, folk craftsmen were able to stick, but everything is so crooked and through the stump-deck that it’s better not to climb now). But in my university I have a freebie, albeit not fast and multi-absent, but the Internet. And he, drum roll, through wifi + proxy. There are no problems with Wifi, but it was definitely not known how
Actually, from versions of Android 3.2 and 4, it is possible to configure proxies by standard means, but, alas, it will work only on a standard browser = (and all tidy Internet applications also do not work.
Third Party Funds
anProxy is a small program that allows you to quickly configure a proxy server for your browser.
Proxymator - A simple program for setting up a proxy server (Also includes a username + password)
ProxyDroid - HTTP / SOCKS4 / SOCKS5 proxies with automatic inclusion by SSID.
Auto Proxy - An interesting enough program to configure the proxy http (s), socks, ntlm, but to use it we need root and iptables with nat support.
For all three programs that I have highlighted (they are the most convenient and suitable), root rights are required. With versions up to 4, there are no problems with them, for each device the method of obtaining is already painted out to the smallest detail, look for it (at least on the same 4pd) and rutting =). We use any program you like and the Internet works great.
Actually, I wanted to tell a little about something else, about the proxy and 4 Andryusha. I will say right away that now everything is pessimistic and we can only configure surfing on sites and a mustache.
Sailed
I already mentioned the standard ability to configure proxies for a standard browser. To do this, in the settings for connecting to wi-fi we climb into the settings of the network we need. We put a bird in the “Advanced” and contemplation settings hitherto unknown. We select the Proxy server settings: Manually and drive in all the necessary data (in fact, there is only the host name and port, the rest is not so important). We save, launch a standard browser and rejoice.
And what to do for those who prefer a third-party browser?
For Opera (whether it’s mini or mobile) in the address bar we drive in: opera: config , there we find the Proxy section and fill in the fields we need (There are no separate fields for the port, so we specify it through a colon, for example proxy.example.comhaps168) Having fumbled a bit and poked the checkboxes, I managed to catch the Internet.
Firefox is a little more interesting. In the address bar, type about: config and get to the page just with a bunch of different settings. Fortunately, there is a search line, we will use it and find what we need using the word "proxy" (yes, who would doubt it). But here the settings are darkness and darkness. Now, without the help of an administrator, I could not cope. Having deduced all the treasured information and the fox agreed to work.
I’m not some kind of Android lover, or a radio lover, I’m a simple web developer, a miserable layout designer and an unfinished XD scripter, but the Internet for the like is often needed and a lot where. And it’s not always easy to get it. I hope someone will feel better.
PS No root - no screenshots, please forgive me (well, do not fotat same).
