Hi!

I am running Build 3.1.0.11 on a Xperia X.

With Firefox I can specify a proxy via about:config and I am asked once for my credentials. After that I can surf the web over the proxy. With the Browser built in I prepare it exactely in the same way, but I am prompted to enter my credentials over and over again and therefore cannot surf the web.

The whole thing is about parental control and to use squidguard on a VPS. Any other idea how to overcome this issue is highly appreciated! I do not want to install aptoide on my daughter's Jolla1 and prefer to stick to the standard apps (if possible).

Thanks a lot!

Not relying on proxy (for years! :( ). Did you see this one: https://together.jolla.com/question/22824/proxy-settings-arent-honoured/

And one more hint is the global proxy setting (which may or may not work!) under Settings - WLAN (or MobileData, it is the same) - then Pulley Menu and Advanced

Good luck

Yes, I saw this after realizing the global proxy settings (what you described) are not that global for the Browser (they are not taken into account). Thanks for hinting! Do you know a better approach? Redirecting outgoing traffic to webservers to the proxy?
