Setting a proxy using adb

Question

I found these commands to add/remove proxy using ADB:

#To Add Proxy
adb shell settings put global http_proxy 192.168.1.252:8080

#To Remove Proxy
adb shell settings put global http_proxy :0

Is possible to also add in the same command or another, the proxy username and password?

Atm it pops a window asking to input this info, but I would like to also add it using ADB.

Answer 1

Have you tried:

Enable http proxy with authentication:

adb shell settings put global http_proxy 192.168.225.100:3128
adb shell settings put global global_http_proxy_host 192.168.225.100
adb shell settings put global global_http_proxy_port 3128
adb shell settings put global global_http_proxy_username foo
adb shell settings put global global_http_proxy_password bar

And to disable proxy:

adb shell settings delete global http_proxy
adb shell settings delete global global_http_proxy_host
adb shell settings delete global global_http_proxy_port
adb shell settings delete global global_http_proxy_username
adb shell settings delete global global_http_proxy_password
adb shell settings delete global global_http_proxy_exclusion_list
adb shell settings delete global global_proxy_pac_url
adb shell reboot

Answer 2

An android app that sets the proxy settings for a wifi access point by using adb. This DOES NOT require root and will work with any device that has USB debugging on or any emulator (including Genymotion).
