I'm using a HTTP proxy on firefox, something like proxy.mit.it:8080.
I can use firefox to access network.
Now I hope other applications on my laptop can also use the proxy to access internet.
I tried:
Control panel -> Internet options -> connections -> LAN setting and fill the proxy server, but it doesn't work.
are there any workarounds? thanks! I'm using windows 7 also I'm using ubuntu

1Unless your applications are "proxy aware" then this won't work... there are some applications available that can help make an application proxy aware, but I have no idea apart from, say, Microsoft's (now defunct) TMG that has a Windows client that can make non-proxy aware applications work over a proxy. – Kinnectus – 2014-10-20T16:15:05.257
@BigChris how about Ubuntu? – lily – 2014-10-24T14:15:09.603
You say you are using an HTTP proxy, but you want all applications to use this proxy. But many/most applications don't use HTTP. – ChrisInEdmonton – 2014-10-24T14:20:43.860
@BigChris this is not true. For example firewalls can enforce proxying without applications being aware of it. There will probably be ways how to enforce this fw behaviour on localhost. – Tomas – 2014-10-24T14:35:46.583
