Internet Proxy App for the Workplace.

Does anyone know if it would be possible to make an app that can allow blocked computers to access the internet by way of connecting via USB.
Does an app exist?

I didn't use it for a proxy but a few times at work I needed to unplug my network cable to use it on another computer I was setting up. In that case I just plugged my Evo in via USB and fired up USBTether. Gave me internet access in the meantime.

I need to be connected at all times to the network at work but need a proxy running to be able to go to other websites.

Use phone as USB wifi card

Anyone know of an app that allows you to use your phone as a wifi card via USB? I don't have one for my laptop and i need to get on my LAN for some file transfers.

iam also looking for something like this... just like tethering but instead of mobile data use some wlan

PDANet allows you to share the Wifi connection of your phone through USB.

This function is built in in desire HD and desire, just turn on wifi, connect to your wlan network, plug inn your phone and select share network connection (or something like that). Remember to turn off your 3g connection, or your phone will use that to connect your pc to internet

Well i started using wireless tether and creating a Bluetooth PAN and connecting to my LAN that way. Pdanet does work but i don't want to pay for access to secure https websites

Yes, I explain how to in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2133576

Any app out there to get internet from your PC? Opposite of phone tethering?

Hello everyone. First let me explain that I have a capped data plan since I'm surrounded by wifi besides work.
Now here is my question. On my old tilt and tilt 2 which were windows based were capable of getting internet from simply plugging them into a PC via USB. The phone would then use internet from the computer itself.
I have a galasxy s (captivate) . Are there any apps to do such a feat?

I might have completely misunderstood what your saying, but could you not turn the wifi on from your phone and connect to them?

Wifi is not allowed at my work. Sorry should have said that.

i hope you are using windows 7 on your laptop...if you are,then download 'connectify'...its easy to set up and will turn your laptop into a wifi hotspot so that you can use your laptops internet connection on your phone... cheers

Its possible
It is possible. But there is a but.
It is a standard feature of HTC sync.... To connect your device to your laptop and use its internet connection.
So....I guess someone have to extract that functionality and pack it into something that works on all devices...
I use it quite a lot.. And I have removed sense from my revolution rom with a script from desire forum.
Good luck

hey all!!
Even ill like to know abt it!

We all know we can use the desktop wifi to connect our mobiles.

How to do routing from USB to Android device to WiFi coonection to Interweb?

I have a not that unusual request but google searching it is impossible due to the interchangable words and their context.....
I have an Android device with a WiFi hotspot app installed that allows me to connect to hotspots anywhere.
I am at a friends who's internet connection is currently down and needs to get online for a few hours.
I have my USB to device cable.
So I want to do.....
His Computer --> USB Cable --> My Android Device --> WiFi Connection --> My Hotspot provider --> Interweb
This would seem to be fairly standard proxy forwarding to me, so is there a proxy server app for Android?
Before anyone suggests it I can't use tethering as he wants a shedload of data and it would break my 3g cap.
Thanks in advance.

Look buddy if you want to connect your friends phone with your wifi hotspot then turn it on in settings.
You must know that there is a difference in wifi and wifi hotspot.
Your android phone must be enable of wifi hotspot or wifi tethering.
And specify your particular problem.dont mess your question.

PDANET 3.5 via USB tetheror JB USB tethering.
Just enable disable radios, start thering on the device, plug it in.. you may need a client on the pc (as in PDANET).
They are what you are looking for.
