Tips :

1. In the Hiisi proxy mobile client , you can choose various user agents in options/settings. The default Softbank will acts as Nokia N73 and displays pages optimized for it. Choosing other user agents will render the page in PC view.
2. If a webpage on phone displays 500 error then try changing the user agent to Softbank.
3. It works perfectly for access points of Indian Service Providers such as Airtel Mobile Office, Aircel.
4. Remove the proxy and port number when you want to connect to GPRS.
5. You can use Opera Mini too. Make sure you install using normal GPRS and then use this proxy to access internet.
6. Use IPV4 in access point settings.
