I'm using a HTTP proxy on firefox, something like proxy.mit.it:8080.

I can use firefox to access network.

Now I hope other applications on my laptop can also use the proxy to access internet.

I tried:

Control panel -> Internet options -> connections -> LAN setting and fill the proxy server, but it doesn't work.

are there any workarounds? thanks! I'm using windows 7 also I'm using ubuntu

    Unless your applications are "proxy aware" then this won't work... there are some applications available that can help make an application proxy aware, but I have no idea apart from, say, Microsoft's (now defunct) TMG that has a Windows client that can make non-proxy aware applications work over a proxy.

  • @BigChris how about Ubuntu?

  • You say you are using an HTTP proxy, but you want all applications to use this proxy. But many/most applications don't use HTTP.

  • @BigChris this is not true. For example firewalls can enforce proxying without applications being aware of it. There will probably be ways how to enforce this fw behaviour on localhost.
