As you may know, Android 3.1 supports HTTP proxy for each connected wireless access point. If your goal is to save bandwidth or reduce data usage by having web browsing on tablets to go through proxy server, then this built-in proxy feature is there to help.
Here, the guide is made with reference to Acer Iconia Tab A500 running Android 3.2.1 (a.k.a. Honeycomb):
1. Click on the time display at bottom-right corner followed by Settings icon.
2. Click Settings from the overlay menu. Make sure the tablet is already connected to Wi-Fi access point (AP) and then only click “Wi-Fi settings”.
3. Perform tap-and-hold on the connected Wi-Fi AP until you see the “modify network” option pops up and then click on it. You should see “connected” on the first AP displayed in “Wi-Fi Networks” section, if the Android tablet is connecting to the wireless network.
4. There you’ll see option to set HTTP proxy setting for Android web browsing.
