This happens since none of the browsers have proxy auth fields in their network settings. Tor does have the auth fields in its network settings, so no such popup is displayed. | |

| Aug 14, 2012 at 15:52 | comment | added | Urban | Thx for your reply Getch. The virtual router link you referred is correct. It basically just hosts a wifi connection with which another connection's internet can be shared. I'm not really sure how it does it, but it just needs another network with an internet connection. As for Orbot, the internet connection that I'm behind has a proxy and user auth. Orbot seems to be having problems getting connected behind this. Basically, with all this I'm just trying to bypass the proxy. On my desktop, Tor does that perfectly. I'm trying to get my phone to do the same, using Tor. | |
