I access internet in my college through proxy but my kindle paperwhite doesn't have any option to input proxy settings for a wifi network. How can I get it to work?

What I did to overcome the problem is that I made a wifi network using connectify and now I hope to redirect all connectify traffic through the proxy. How can I do that? I tried CCProxy and GProxy but can't get it to work. Any guidance would be appreciated.


Solution 1:

You've a few options to try before spending on a DD-WRT router.

  1. Squid Proxy.
  2. Exchange router with someone else.

Solution 2:

What you are looking for is a "transparent proxy", which connectify is not. Connectify cannot pass it's traffic through a proxy, and your device can't be set to use a proxy.

What I would do is to set up a router that is DD-WRT compatible (3rd party linux based firmware) and set that up as a dedicated transparent proxy. A guide can be found here, and such a router can be acquired for maybe $20-$30 and used for many many purposes.
