It is possible, but why would you do such a thing?
You are already connected to the internet using wifi? What does the proxy accomplish for you?

Well my school blocks apps and some websites so the proxy would bypass it

It depends how they block it. A vpn would be better for what you are trying to do. If your urls are in cleartext and they use a commercial filter that uses pattern matching, it wont work.

Its a bit beyond the scope of this forum, but you can usually set it up right from your router if it is modern or high end.
Otherwise you will need a server. windows and linux can do this. You are are probably looking to build an ipsec vpn. Just google it. It can be tricky. On the milestone side, you need a rom that supports a tunneling kernel module (older ROMs mostly). This is usually called tun0.

Looking to use vpn on the xoom to get into my corporate account.
I just got the 3g xoom yesterday so I haven't really looked to see if there is something already in the OS, but any help to get pointed into the right direction would be awesome.
Thanks!

The xoom has built in VPN, just go to Settings > Wireless > VPN
It supports PPTP, L2TP, L2TP/IPsec PSK and L2TP/IPsec CRT
Hi,
My firm is usimg a Cisco VPN,
is it also working with it? Which one should I use?
Isthere a third part client working with Xoom and Cisco?
Cisco offers one in the market, but its needs some certificate depositated by myfirm on a Cisco server which is not possible .
Any idea??
Thanx
Thank you wolfcry....

8 year old is getting Nexxy 7 for Christmas. Need to put some restrictions in place to prevent his precious eyes seeing things he shouldn't ; )
Does anyone know of any decent apps\methods to restrict web browsing?
I think I have everything else covered - with the help of this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1997986
Suppose if it comes to it I can just freeze the browser with tit backup.
Thanks,
Andy.

If you are looking for a free solution opendns might be an option for you... You set the dns servers either in the device or router
Opendns then filters traffic based on your ip... Might be worth a look
Steve
Thanks for reply.
Have thought about this.. How do you go about changing DNS servers on Android though? (It would probably be 4.2)
Setting the DNS on the router I could do - but that would filter everything in the house wouldn't it?

Not something I thought about. The lol a quick Google search gives a few reply... There is a set dns application in the play store.
Thought about doing it on the router... Connecting to any other network would result in unfiltered access so not ideal.... There are other proxy services out there... Might be worth looking in play store for a solution?

I have root now and would like to get Tethering working. I have rooted all my android phones in the past and used Tether apps but have yet to find any that will work that I have used in the past. I have tried root packages Wifi Tether Router,, did not work. the one from trevor.e.. @gmail.com
See my settings below .
I tried wifi_tether_v3_3-beta2.apk. did not work.

Can you please let me know of anyway to Wifi Tether with Root on this Galaxy Note 3 N9005A that you have successfully configured to work.
I don't foxi or any like it. Please Help I appreciate it.
I just used the built in tethering option of android. When the AT&T pop up comes up just hit the home button. Then go back to the settings and it will work.

Not on AT&T without adding the feature and charging additionally for it.
I know Verizon does it for free after the FCC case about the LTE bandwidth.
I've always done the workaround with the wife tether apk... I'll keep trying and searching.

Like other people said, use FoxFi or the native android app. When the box comes up that says call ATT don't push OK, just hit the home button. You now have a wireless access point.

Not sure if this is an old trick or not but hitting home doesn't work. The phone says I have an active wifi network but it is not broadcasting (AT&T is killing any broadcasting).
Hey guys, so ever since updating to 4.3 I've been having trouble with my wifi connection. It's not just mine it's my partners as well we have C6903's running the latest generic au firmware. It's seems that when connected to wifi I can access normal websites it works fine but if they use https they time out as if I didn't have internet. I've noticed to that apps that I assuming use ssl such as hangouts and the bank apps don't work either but apps such as tapatalk work fine. Anyone else having an issue like this or know how to fix it? Btw I've tried changing dns settings to Google's 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 and still no luck.

Type of connection (WiFi or 3G/4G) should not affect to the SSL, I think there is a problem with you router. Check that TCP port 443 is open.
For your information, I'm on 4.3 (.136) too and I have no problems with secured content.
Well that's what I thought too, but then why do no other devices on my network have an issue?

yes I work for a phone company that I will leave nameless they are changing policy and throttling down their customers that use peer to peer sharing I am wondering if there is a way to utilize a VPN to mask my usage if that won't work are there any other options I know it will work on PC but not too sure about Android

Android has PPTP/L2TP built in, and it is easy enough to install OpenVPN (especially on a rooted phone). I've used VPN on my Android when I traveled in China. Works great.
So do I have to root my phone in order to effectively use a VPN to mask this usage bc I am not sure I could root this by myself. Thanks for the info by the way. I'm a big downloader on my phone....I dis 70GB last month and will be red flagged at work if I don't fix.

You would only need to root to use some of the OpenVPN clients. PPTP/L2TP is built into Android beginning with Froyo (2.2). Go to your Settings > Wireless & Networks > More and you'll see the VPN options.
So what free app would be a good app for this? I'm willing to pay for the app if needed but would prefer free app of course.
