I can configure proxy in connectivity setting and it works in web browser. But when I use Canola or mytube, these programs do not go through proxy.

This is a bit of advanced stuff. You have to run the application from X-Terminal, and before that enter

Code:

export HTTP_PROXY=<your-proxy>:<port>

e.g.

Code:

export HTTP_PROXY=192.168.0.1:3128
canola

Note: I did not test it on the tablet, but it's the common Linux command line way for configuring a proxy and thus should work.

Try using tsocks, its completely transparent so it works well. Search the forum for it.

Edit: Obviously, it uses a SOCKS5 proxy, not HTML.

this also applies to youtube-dl which mytube uses.
so doing this from console will also work:

Code:

export http_proxy=_IP_:_PORT_
mytube
