I want to use my NC at uni however the university wireless requires a in-browser proxy to connect to the internet.
Is there a browser that supports proxys or is there some work around that I could ADB?

Is there anyway to access internet on the HTC if you just have a PC connected to internet ?
using WM5 it's possible using active sync, but after i upgraded to WM6 it's not possible..
any clues ?
upgrade activsync
well....i downloaded the active sync from internet..
my IE on the desktop is using a proxy.. not sure if i need to configure something on the phone.
thanks for the reply
Is Active Sync required?
My nephew doesn't have AS installed (doesn't have a WM phone) and I wanted to be able to conect to the net without having to remember to taked an AS disk with me.
it's possible using wifi and routing the wifi from the pc to the isp
otherwise it's not possible
The only way how i know is whit bluetooth
Whenever I travel I take a bit of internet with me so I can use it in emergencies.
Another way to access the "computer's" internet over your phone is to use internet sharing from the laptop and create an ad hock wireless network between the laptop and the phone. That works great for me in places where there is no wireless but wired internet.
Check out this link if you would like to learn how to setup Ad Hoc Internet Sharing.
I can access the Internet whenever I have the HTC connected through my PC via USB and ActivSync.
Accessing the internet normally engages the GPRS data path, but with the USB to the PC (assuming the PC is connected to the 'net) it connects without engaging GPRS and routes through the PC.
It works on Vista and XP without any problems.
Another neat trick is using the HTC to allow me to access the Internet from my laptop when I'm away from the Office i.e. HTC -> USB -> Laptop -> IE Browser -> Internet. By using 'Internet Sharing' in programs folder.
Don't you just love technology !

I imagined Wireless Tether would function a particular way but I had no luck.
I launched the app and the attempted to scan for wireless access points with my device, a PS3. The PS3 will not detect the phone as a wireless access point. Is this just the way it is or is it a limitation with wireless tether and/or the ps3?
thank you thank you
Since I don't know what the PS3 can actually connect to I will just say this. The wireless tether app runs ad-hoc. If your device can connect to ad-hoc networks then you can connect to it.
ive got the ad-hoc party on ps3, ima try that...thanks
edit: also, the wireless tether for root doesnt connect to wifi networks, only 3g data?
Hi,
I have connected a USB ethernet adapter to my Nexus 7 Wifi, and it seems to work, I can ping other host.
But I cannot use web browser because I need to set the proxy, as my company use a proxy for web navigation.
I don't know how to do this, I think that proxy in Wifi settings is of any use, as Wifi is off.
Any help?
Thanks,
Marco
Using my raspberry pi, I created a pptp vpn server, but I find myself unable to connect to it under my school's wifi (I am able to connect to other wifi via the raspberry pi). Would programs such as iprism the school is running prevent me from accessing the vpn?
Yes iprism could prevent you from connecting to your PPTP server as any other webfilter, proxy server, etc. could do as well.
You maybe get around that if you're dropping PPTP and use OpenVPN instead. This alone wouldn't help much but running your server on port 443 could do the trick .
Hi All,
I recently acquired a chromecast and would very much like access to the BBC Iplayer (I live in the netherlands). I can already watch Iplayer on my phone using the VPN option in android but once I try to watch it on chromecast it doesn't start the stream which is probably because the chromecast is connected to my home network which is not behind the VPN. I also can't mirror screen since I loose connection from my phone to the chromecast as soon as I connect my phone to the VPN.
Now I read that it is possible to do with a DDWRT router but I do not have one of those and I wouldn't want my whole network to be on a different IP, just the chromecast & if needed my phone. I do however have something that I would like to consider a lot more powerful than a router, namely a "Server PC" running windows XP professional. Would I be able to use this server and enable the VPN on it and then make the chromecast connect to the server? Would I need 2 USB wireless adapters or 1 (so my phone connects to 1 and the chromecast to the second. My server connects via ethernet to my modem)? Could I somehow configure this USB adapter to be connected to the VPN by default? Could I use virtualization software? I would like the most clean option preferably without affecting the rest of my server (but it would be OK if the server is temporarily in the UK until I have watched the show). Perhaps this topic can be extended to other devices with wireless capabilities like NAS and raspberries etc.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Ok so after some digging I found at least 1 way of doing it: http://alphaloop.blogspot.nl/2014/01/raspberry-pi-as-vpn-wireless-access.html
However I still think this should be possible on a windows XP machine with a wireless adapter.
On many Windows 7 PCs with wi-fi, you can use the following to create a hosted wifi network that your chromecast can connect to:
netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=XXXX key=YYYY
netsh wlan start hostednetwork
if you then share your VPN adapter's internet connection with the hosted wifi that you've created, you can connect your phone and chromecast to the same wifi XXXX and that will be connected to the internet via the VPN on the laptop.
