I understand that the D2G does not support using a proxy server, So then why am I able to use Skype while not being able to use internet browser?
My laptop makes me sign in with proxy when using Skype, so why doesn't the Droid.

Skype generally has a lot of quirks which help it bypass firewalls. It's a major PITA for the system administrators (believe me, I know).
Android (and D2G as a device using it) supports using a proxy server for its browser. You can configure one directly by altering the SQLite3 database, settings, or using some freely available apps @ the Market. Some even allow you to automatically switch configuration based on your GPS location or wifi network parameters.

Hi
I live in Iran and here, tweeter is censored. so there is no direct way to access it. but for example, we have Opera Mini that uses a proxy to connect to web, and so it bypasses the censorship. is there any similar app (you know, i mean android app) that uses a proxy to connect to tweeter?
Thanx dudes ;-)
Built-in Proxy
I do not what device you have but I would suggest getting a ROM with a working built-in proxy and using it for ALL of your communications...just saying...
But the problem is that i dont have a proxy server myself, so i want to use an app that it has!
Hi
I had wifi in my office where we could use net without any problem, now proxy server has been set up. I know all the settings but cant figure out how to configure these on my HTC Legend (using stock Rom).
Kindly guide me how to configure my Legend to use internet through proxy
And how can I join a domain to access my folders on the network and use internet?
Any help will be highly appreciated

Use a Proxy program
I am assuming you are on a windows domain. I suggest you download a program called Proxy Droid from the marketplace and setup the details on it. the reason being that windows domain requires NTLM authentication that very few program provide.
Cheers,
Vikram.
I'll try and hit back
proxy Droid works for me
Ok, the basic Idea of this App is to provide an easy setup for an ftp & or web server (should be customizable) which also provides a shortened url for easy access.
also my idea was that the app can do this over different of protocolls, bluetooth, w-lan usw.
is something like this technically possible?, i know there are ftpserver apps out there but it is not quite the same.

Easy ftp and web server apps already exist that work over wifi. bluetooth is tricky, as a normal web or ftp server won't be easily usable (but bluetooth already has methods of doing file transfers that works quite well, and there are apps to handle this, like Blutooth File Manager). What is USW?
AFAIK, there is not an app to do those things over ad-hoc wifi - they all require connecting to an access point. Being able to open up an app and have it set up an ad-hoc wireless network with another android device and allow easy high-speed file sharing would be awesome.
As for cellular data, there's a major hurdle to overcome on some carriers. Verizon, for example, does not allow incoming connections over cellular data. So you can set up a web or ftp server, but you won't be able to access it. The way around that is to have the phone establish the connection to some server, then have that server act as the gateway. Bandwidth is not free, though, so I suspect you'd be hard-pressed to find an app that includes that feature, unless it also requires that you set up your own server gateway. I'd like to see something like this - an app that establishes general-purpose 2-way comms with a server application on command (by hitting a "start" button in the app), which then allows you to set up different types of servers (ssh, ftp, web, etc) that are routed through that gateway machine that you set up.
One way to accomplish that whole scheme is to use a VPN - when a VPN is established (even over 3G), you can access any server you want to via the VPN-assigned IP address.
I'm looking for a mail client (for android obviously) where I can set a proxy.
I need to use a proxy to connect to the company exchange server. I could set the the proxy for all of my internet traffic but I don't really care for the idea to route all my data through the company proxy.
Allready looked at K-9 and Kaiten but couldn't find any proxy settings.
"Enhanced Email" by Quantum Apps says it can run pop/imap mail service. Ask on their support forum if its proxies are configurable.

Any update on this?
i'm looking for the exact same thing,
and with the search words 'proxy and android', even with other search words email,
you are drowned out, on google, with lots of irrelevant results...
so that, it took me a long time even to find this post.
I want to setup an email client to connect to my email server over Tor.
Much in the way that I can do that now on thunderbird, using Tor and torbirdy,
I will use Orbot on android....
Any ideas?
Maybe this will work with SandroProxy, app tab where you can redirect traffic just for one app and transparent proxy.
SandroProxy can then connect to other proxy. It's a little bit tricky but could work.
I'm developer of SandroProxy, Drony. There are also other proxies that can do the same.

I wonder if we have any app that natively support this.
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.
Needs ROOT, couldn't find an unrooted method. -- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.proxydroid&hl=en
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.
