One of my relatives has an Amazon Echo Dot and a Fire TV Stick. Both are connected to the same WiFi.
Recently, their internet provider changed the proxy settings such that the default proxy no longer works. They have provided a set of proxies that can be used instead. We have manually set those proxies in our laptop/mobiles, and they work fine.
However, we have been unable to configure the proxy for the two Amazon devices. I searched Google, and for the Echo Dot, went to manual setup, but under advanced settings, there were options for IP, Subnet Mask, DNS 1 and DNS 2. No proxy. In the Fire TV stick as well, we could not find a way to configure the proxy server.
I also found that it is not possible to set proxy server in any router. (They have a TP-Link router.)
Are these simple settings really unavailable on these high-end devices? Or are we missing it?
N.B.: The proxy servers are provided as
