I know that asproxy works but it costs too much too for us who are more familiar with freeware..
I know a workaround for this...
Download trans proxy(xda exclusive) to set the proxy adddress and set DNS (market) to set the DNS server address..
Likewise you would find freewaare for almost anything on asproxy...
You can even use tasker (maarket) to automatically open transproxy whenever you use wifi because the same transproxy settings wouldn't work for GPRS...
DNS and transporxy

May I ask a dump question: how can I make the DNS work? I understand all the traffic should go through the proxy so DNS is not needed. But the applications on the phone are not aware of the proxy. They will try to resolve the IP address before trying any connection to port 80 or 443, right? I have been struggling to make transproxy work for quite a while.
Just set the proxy address in transproxy and set the same proxy address as the dns server in set dns... Hope this works..
I tried but it didn't work. I think the DNS is not needed. But I cannot get the browser or other application to talk to the proxy without resolving the IP address.

In the latest update Mango, we're very glad to see the proxy settings available for WIFI and mobile network (APN), but here comes another new issue, I can only make IE browser work with those proxy settings.
Let me make this clear.
I'm using a http proxy server in China, u forks do know why don't you? I configured the server IP address, port, username and password after edit my WIFI proxy settings, then I succeeded to open mobile.twitter.com in the IE 9 browser on my Focus, however, when i was very excited to try it in Twitter windows phone app, it was failed.
Does the proxy only work with browser? I don't understand.
Is there anybody can help this?

Is it possible to change DNS so i can watch Netflix on my Omnia 7?
google didn't give any good results.
Whaaaat? Does your DNS provider block access to netflix.com or something?
It's possible to set custom configuration for WiFi networks (press-and-hold on the network name) and either change the DNS, or route your data through a proxy that has a not-stupid DNS.
Alternatively, the phone has an equivalent to a HOSTS file in the registry, at HKLM\COMM\Tcpip\Hosts\. This could be used to manually map the Netflix domain name to their IP address. That would probably work even on cellular data.
I live in Europe so Netflix isn't available to us yet. I'm using unblock-us' dns to get access.
Um... DNS literally does nothing except map a domain name (like "netflix.com") to an IP address. I'm quite sure you can resolve the Netflix domain name overseas. What you need is a proxy server. Proxies let you connect through them to the rest of the Internet, and to everybody else it looks like you are located wherever the proxy is. That (or VPN, which the phone currently doesn't support), and not DNS, is how you get around the "geo-IP" geographical restrictions on a service.
In my school we have Wifi only on hallway,so we can use it only at break and its bad . But teachers have seccured wifi,which is in class too. We have found password,but its need to setupp proxy and port to work. Fortunately its the same proxy and port like on the all school PCs, co i just write proxy from browser settings. But on Transformer i can set up proxy/port only for HTTP protocol, so its work only in browser. But i want to use this for some apps too. I have tried some apps to set up proxy but it didnt work. Does anyone of you know hot to set up proxy for the apps? If it posible.

I think you can set up proxy using AnyCut, but I have not tried it to know if it will work for what you need.
SSHTunnel will work, but you need a SSH proxy. [And obviously root, but who doesn't root?] It has the ability to use a global proxy or you can select individual apps.

Here is a page with a list of SSH proxies:

Btw, a SSH proxy is more secure, it encrypts your data. But of course, the proxy you connect to could save your web traffic, just like any other proxy.
Hi all,
Just developed a simple tool to change DNS server for Kitkat, but it also works for other Android version (2.2+). Here is the details:
On Kitkat (Android 4.4), changing dns server settings is not allowed by system. DNS Forwarder can work as a workaround. It does not modify system setting, just bypasses local dns server settings by forwarding dns queries to other configured server.
It works on rooted phones running Android 2.2 and above.
How to use:
1) choose a DNS server from list including Google and OpenDNS DNS servers. Also you can set up customized dns server. By default Google dns server 8.8.8.8 is configured.
2) Check "Enable Forwarder" box
DNS forwarder will start a service to serve DNS queries (UDP). To stop it, just uncheck "Enable forwarder".
