My Question or Issue
After installing a firewall and a Web proxy on my home LAN to try and protect my children from **bleep** and abuse on the Web, Spotify on Android has ceased to work. The desktop version offers to set the proxy manually, and works with those settings.
But Spotify for Android ignores the system proxy settings, and offers no option to set it in the app. When Spotify is started, it shows the error message "no internet connection". The "idea" to implement proper proxy support on mobile versions of Spotify is not new, but it has been closed a few months ago, the second time already, for lack of support. The first time the idea came up was more than 4 years ago.
I can't believe that this basic feature is not available. Is nobody else trying to limit internet access for their children?
