Sharing internet connection

[alexanderclz]

I'm connected to the internet via a proxy server at my work place. my ques is, is there any software that enable me to share the proxied internet connection so that i can connect to my android without rooting it?

i've tried mhotspot but it only share the internet connection without the proxy setting. i know this is a long shot but anybody has any ideas?

Not sure if I understand you correctly. Can't you just configure the same proxy settings on your Android device?

I didn't get it too. Is that connection you're talking about an OPEN WIFI one? or is it encrypted... are you trying to connect via USB, Wireless.... LAN...?

thanks for the replies

the problem is i'm not able to set the same proxy in my android because i'm not planning to root it (known issue that we cant set proxy for unrooted androids) ... so i'm just wondering if i'm able to share the wireless internet connection together with the proxy ...

Excuse me, my logic plays me a trick yet. If your android device is capable to detect Wi-Fi network and connect to it, you'll be using same proxy settings as your computer if you go trough it (using it as a replier) or hotspot, but if your router handles all the connection, then network access and settings are taken from there.

i'm not really good with the technical terms ... but it works like this ... in my workplace, i'm able to connect to the internet ... however, i need to set the proxy manually via internet settings > lan settings > set the proxy before i can start using the internet

Thank you so much for clear it up. So what you need in fact, is a connection manager for android device. But I should ask, how do you plan to connect you Android dev.. via cable or Wireless. The computer situated in you work, connects through wireless network? or LAN.?

I can't link you to any pay software. But


Are you looking for something like this?
