[GLLUG] Proxies with WPA

[Chick Tower]

I figured out how to connect to a wireless access point that used 
encryption, WPA to be specific, using wpa_supplicant.  However, the two 
browsers I tried to use while connected to it, Firefox and Midori, 
refused to resolve websites until I disabled the proxy server in the 
browsers' settings.  ping had no problem resolving URLs; I may have been 
successful with links, too.  I use Privoxy to block ads and cookies, and 
it hasn't been a problem on unencrypted access points.  (Well, maybe it 
has been once or twice.)

I searched on the Privoxy and Arch Linux (the distro on my laptop) 
websites, and did a quick search on the web in general, and found 
absolutely no mention of any such problem.  Granted, this was the only 
time I ever tried to connect to an encrypted access point, so maybe 
there was a setting on the access point itself that caused this problem, 
but does anyone know of any problems with proxies and WPA?
