Question How to make WiFi connection go through proxy

Hello, all,

I'm trying to make the Kindle use a proxy when connecting to the Internet via WiFi, but I'm having trouble with it.

Device:
  • Kindle Paperwhite 1 (the first PW from 2012, WiFi + 3G)
  • Jailbroken
  • KUAL installed
  • USBNetwork Hack installed, SSH connectivity over the USB cable

Things I've tried:
  • Connecting via SSH and setting manually the environment variables http_proxy and https_proxy. -> No luck, the vars get deleted once the ssh session ends.
  • Storing those two environment variables in /etc/environment -> The Kindle ignores it.
  • Creating a small KUAL extension to execute a bash script that does
    Code:
    export http_proxy=IP:port
    -> No effect. Also, when reconnecting the Kindle via USB and ssh'ing into it again, the variables have been lost.

Any help would be appreciated
