I have been hunting for a solution to my problem, to which I found Wingate to be the nearest solution, but havent really figured it out yet.
I have my institute LAN (external netowrk) giving me access to internet through a proxy. I have my PCs wireless NIC setup as hotspot.
What i want to achieve is setup a wingate server on my PC such that it receives (definitely will as it is the hotspot) the data from the mobile devices/smart TV and forwards them to the appropriate upstream proxy. This way the mobile devices will not have to bother about the proxy settings.
Q1. Is this doable? My mobile clients will not be PCs with browsers but smartTV and older smartphones which do nnot have provision to enter proxy settings.
Others will follow :).
Thanks Adrian for your help on SO.
