Hello,
Im using a htc hd2 with WM6.5
Does anyone know of a mobile browser in which I can change SOCKS proxy settings - just like mozilla firefox? (ive tried minimo and fennec a3, but no good, unless I could use some addon in fennec).
I want to tell my browser to listen on port 1080 for a SOCKS connection (im port forwarding with pocketputty).
Alternatively, does a program like 'tsocks' exist for windows mobile, in which I can socksify for my mobile browser? I havent used tsocks before btw.
Or finally, is there a way to edit the registry in WM6.5 so that the browser does listen on port 1080 for SOCKS?
Thankyou,
Will
yeah...bro..i need sm workaround as well !! please read my thread if it relates !!!
Summary:
I am attempting to use a remote SSH server as a proxy for browsing the web on my htc hd2.
This is called a "Poor man's VPN" - If you have never heard of this, please read this: http ://wiki.freaks-unidos.net/ssh-port-forwarding
I'm currently using pocket putty with dynamic port forwarding to forward port 1080 on a remote SSH server back to my localhost on my device.
I cannot seem to find a mobile browser that has the ability to configure SOCKS proxy settings. I need to be able to tell the browser to use a SOCKS proxy, to listen to localhost on port 1080 which is being forwarded.
Since I havent found a browser to do this, I have tried to use proxycap to sockify a browser. I basically want to redirect the traffic coming from the ssh tunnel with proxycap to the browser even though the browser has no SOCKS support.
I dont have a technical background.
I dont know if this actually works
Is it possible to do the above? If so, how do I configure proxycap to act between the SSH tunnel and the mobile browser...
well I found a way to configure proxy settings on minimo
you type into the URL "about:config".
Then you change some entries
network.proxy.socks......
however, I ran into another problem...does wm6.5 have a problem with with localhost or 127.0.0.1???
Because i read that localhost doesnt work on wm past version 5...
how else can get a loopback address??
bumpwwwwwww

Hi,
My problem is the following:
I use a software named shutter, which is a software allowing me to shutdown my computer remotely. This software is installed on my computer at home and works as server.
The way to use it is to enter the url in any browser like this http://ip:Port and a page is loaded with two fields, username and password, allowing me to be authenticated on my server remotely.
From a normal computer, I tried with IE and firefox and it works fine.
Thus, I tried with my mobile phone using IE mobile and opera mobile 9.5 and impossible to reach the server. However with an Iphone (safari) it works.
it seems that shutter uses an http authentication and I don't know why it doesn't work on ie+opera mobile. Wrong setting? not supported? By looking on msdn it seems that http authentication is supported by IE.
Anyway, do you have an idea on how to set my browser to reach my server?
Thanks
Hey guys,
Proxycap is a "socksify" program that works on windows mobile.
Im using htc hd2 on wm6.5
I need proxycap to 'socksify' a mobile browser.
Ive successfully done this on windows XP:
I run putty, dynamically forward port 1080 from a ssh server to my localhost. Then I used proxycap to "socksify" opera.
Proxy servers
type: socks v4
hosts: localhost or 127.0.0.1
port: 1080
Tunneling Rules:
type: tunnel through proxy
proxy: localhost:1080
Program: opera.exe
I hit "OK"
Then I run my putty, log into my ssh server, I run opera. Proxycap socksifies opera, so that opera goes through my ssh server. This all works in windows xp.
Windows mobile 6.5
I want to apply the above to my windows mobile 6.5 device using pocket putty, proxycap and any browser.
Pocketputty seems to be working. I tell it to dynamically forward port 1080 just like in putty. I can log into my ssh server on it. This all works.
Proxycap settings:
Proxy servers:
type: socks v4
HOST!?!?!?!: I dont think wm6.5 has a concept of localhost or 127.0.01, I read this somewhere, Ive tried putting my device ID name in this field but that may or may not work
Tunneling rules
Name: internet explorer mobile
Type: tunnel through proxy
proxy: "deviceID name":1080
PROGRAM?!?!?!: iexplorer.exe is the executable file for windows xp for internet explorer. But does wm6.5 execute files differently? Does internet explorer mobile have an executable? whats it called? How do I search for executable files for other browsers that ive installed on my htc hd2
Thats where im stuck. Pocket putty seems to work but im not sure about the proxycap settings.
When I try the above on my htc hd2 on wm6.5
I set pocket putty to dynamically forward port 1080.
I run pocket putty, I log into my ssh server. I run proxycap, I tell it to 'socksify' skyfire.
I run skyfire.
Pocketputty gives me this error:
"Putty Fatal error
WSAEventSelect():
SOCKET_ERROR"
ok not getting this error anymore
but the connection is timing out
I log into the ssh server with pocket putty, i tell it to dynamically port forward port 1080 back to my device. Then I run proxycaps, and tell it to 'sockify' my mobile internet explorer.
Then I run internet explorer it says it couldnt find a server
When i click 'last error' in proxycaps
"Connection timed out (10060)"
Any ideas?
bump !
Hi
I live in Iran and here, tweeter is censored. so there is no direct way to access it. but for example, we have Opera Mini that uses a proxy to connect to web, and so it bypasses the censorship. is there any similar app (you know, i mean android app) that uses a proxy to connect to tweeter?
Thanx dudes ;-)
Built-in Proxy
I do not what device you have but I would suggest getting a ROM with a working built-in proxy and using it for ALL of your communications...just saying...
But the problem is that i dont have a proxy server myself, so i want to use an app that it has!
In the latest update Mango, we're very glad to see the proxy settings available for WIFI and mobile network (APN), but here comes another new issue, I can only make IE browser work with those proxy settings.
Let me make this clear.
I'm using a http proxy server in China, u forks do know why don't you? I configured the server IP address, port, username and password after edit my WIFI proxy settings, then I succeeded to open mobile.twitter.com in the IE 9 browser on my Focus, however, when i was very excited to try it in Twitter windows phone app, it was failed.
Does the proxy only work with browser? I don't understand.
Is there anybody can help this?
solution
basically i have the same problem so i use opera mobile 10.
First launch opera.
Then type in the address bar (opera:config).
Find proxy option and vola u dont it.
p.s only works with this browser
In my school we have Wifi only on hallway,so we can use it only at break and its bad . But teachers have seccured wifi,which is in class too. We have found password,but its need to setupp proxy and port to work. Fortunately its the same proxy and port like on the all school PCs, co i just write proxy from browser settings. But on Transformer i can set up proxy/port only for HTTP protocol, so its work only in browser. But i want to use this for some apps too. I have tried some apps to set up proxy but it didnt work. Does anyone of you know hot to set up proxy for the apps? If it posible.
Needs ROOT, couldn't find an unrooted method. -- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.proxydroid&hl=en
I think you can set up proxy using AnyCut, but I have not tried it to know if it will work for what you need.
SSHTunnel will work, but you need a SSH proxy. [And obviously root, but who doesn't root?] It has the ability to use a global proxy or you can select individual apps.

Here is a page with a list of SSH proxies:

Btw, a SSH proxy is more secure, it encrypts your data. But of course, the proxy you connect to could save your web traffic, just like any other proxy.
