In CM6 there was a setting in the Wireless & Settings for the proxy.

In CM7 you have to long press on the desktop background.
Then in the list that pops up select `Custom Shortcut` - `Pick your activity` -
`Activities` - `Settings` -
toward the bottom of this long list is `Proxy Settings`

Add this shortcut to your desktop. When you then click on the shortcut you can enter your proxy
address and port number.

Works fine for me.

Hmm.  I'm on CM7 RC3 and I don't have a Proxy Settings option under my Settings list.  Just Wi-Fi settings, VPN settings, etc.

That is fabulous! I wanted to say thank you for two things: showing me how to get access to the proxy settings, and for demonstrating what that "Custom Shortcut" entry actually does. :-)

I'd like to echo the guy above me, thank you very much! I've been on CM7 for a while now but my friends wouldnt switch over because of lack of proxy settings.

Thanks to the CM team for implementing it too. It seems the last step of adding the proxy to the wireless menu would be the easy bit!

Thank you very much.

Couldn't find that myself...

Doesn't work even on the browser~~I don't know how to set authentication(name & password). Please help me if you know how to do that. Thank you very much and I'm sorry for my poor English.

I too have the same issue on my HTC Desire. upgraded to cyanogenmod 7.0.3. even tried adding a new APN with proxy settings (username/pwd) but still unable to access internet using wifi.

Hi!

I can find this setting and change and store it. But it doesn't work in Wifi (WLAN) mode (where I would need it). It only works in 3G (UMTS and HSDPA ...) modes and there it works perfectly.

But I don't need a proxy when I'm online with UMTS. I would need a proxy when I'm in my company's WLAN. In den company's WLAN there are hard restrictions making internet only working with a proxy server (no authentication).

Where can I set the proxy for WLAN / Wifi?

Best regards,
Guenther

Great. I used to work proxymator, but this one is even better !!

\edit\ I'm an idiot!

Still in the usual location: Custom Shortcut -> Pick Your Activity -> Activities -> Settings -> Proxy Settings (not alphabetically sorted but it's about 10 from the bottom)

Yes, I can find it. I can set it. But it doesn't work. See my post above. Is there an additional trick?

[Jehanzeb]

Is anyone looking for a solution or this request is on a back burner

Is there any other Android ROM which supports proxies with wifi
