Hi,

is there a program available that I can input an username/password for a proxy server (specially for/in netfront)?
I can enter a proxy server address in netfront and can make a VPN connection to the CISCO W-Lan access point (with an own vpn program) in my school but the proxy server requires authentication....

Thanks for answers,

Toaster

With NetFront 3.1 you can enter proxy authentication details directly into the connection setup. Which version of NetFront are you using?

Keep in mind that Netfront can only use standard proxy authentication, and not Windows NTLM authentication, which has become very common in Windows-only companies.
Also, Netfront doesn't do SOCKS proxying, but just simple HTTP proxying by forwarding every request to the server listed as proxy.

re, sorry for the delay

I'm using Netfront 3.0, but I need HTTP authentication with username and password (which is not supported in Netfront 3.0)
I'll upgrade to Netfront 3.1 and see whats next
