Work URL Exceptions - General Questions and Answers

Has anyone figured out how to get the Work URL Exceptions to work? I have both my private IP Addresses (192.168.0.*) and my domain (*.mydomain.com/*) listed. I am using PPTP VPN, but it only works for Exchange ActiveSync. I am trying to get it to start the VPN Connection for other program such as RDP, or Internet Explorer with no luck. I even tried to RDP into the VPN server, but was not successful either.

Cisco VPN Client for WM6 & RSS Feed Reader on Today's Screen?

Hey Guys,
I was wondering if any one knows if there is a Cisco VPN client for wm6 or some other 3rd party VPN client that is compatible with Cisco 3000 series?
I also is there an RSS feed reader that can display the news from BBC on today's screen.

The built-in L2TP/IPSec VPN client is compatible with the Cisco 3000 VPN Concentrator, but you need to setup the concentrator correctly to support it. It's a double bonus though as the setup for it to support the Windows Mobile L2TP/IPSec VPN Client is also applicable for the native Windows 2000+ L2TP/IPSec client, so you don't have to install the Cisco VPN Client on the PC's. The VPN Client in Windows Mobile is a bit temperamental though, especially on the Wizard, so there is a downside...... The 5.2.1437 ROM seems to be the most stable so far.
For RSS Feeds I am using JeyoInformer. This has an option to be displayed on the Today screen however I haven't used it too much, I just included it in my ROM build. There is a default XML file that it used and this has BBC's RSS news feed included.

Awesome! Thank you for the info. I will test is using the native VPN client. Will post the results.
So apparently the VPN that I need to connect to only uses L2TP/UDP where as the built in native VPN client uses PPTP or L2TP/IPSec. Any ideas if there is a VPN Client for Windows Mobile that uses L2TP/UDP?

No, the setup on the VPN Concentrator is wrong, or at least not setup for L2TP/IPSec VPDN. If it is already setup and your network admin doesn't want to reconfigure it then you will have to get an alternative VPN client.
Some details here, however I used RSA Signatures instead of pre-shared keys but this requires certificates.

How with the built-in VPN client does one specify the Cisco VPN 'group name'?
On linux I have a vpnc client functional, but to connect I need to be able to give the client the following:
vpn host
user
password
group name -- where do I put this in??
group password --I put this in as the IPSec/L2TP pre-shared key, of course in it's non-encrypted form via http://www.unix-ag.uni-kl.de/~massar/bin/cisco-decode -- is this correct?
old post, but I have the same question. My VPN requires a group name and group password (both of which I have) but the built wimo setup doesn't ask me for either.
hello
for group name and pass auth. you need to use anthavpn or bluefire sec. clients. but both not free

[Q] htc Hero (rooted) - tethered fine but cannot access emails yahoo or gmail

I am using Easy Tether, which is great (on my rooted htc Hero) - I can access all websites EXCEPT email! Yahoo and gmail are the two I use and neither will grant me access. When I try, it hangs and hangs and eventually comes up with this message below, but all other websites work just fine. Any ideas?
The connection has timed out
The server at www.google.com is taking too long to respond.
The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
Are you using EasyTether Lite? If so, this is because in order to login to those sites you need to use https, the secure version of the http protocol. EasyTether Lite blocks https probably as a way to get you to pay for it

[Q] Change DNS

Is it possible to change DNS so i can watch Netflix on my Omnia 7?
google didn't give any good results.
Whaaaat? Does your DNS provider block access to netflix.com or something?
It's possible to set custom configuration for WiFi networks (press-and-hold on the network name) and either change the DNS, or route your data through a proxy that has a not-stupid DNS.
Alternatively, the phone has an equivalent to a HOSTS file in the registry, at HKLM\COMM\Tcpip\Hosts\. This could be used to manually map the Netflix domain name to their IP address. That would probably work even on cellular data.
I live in Europe so Netflix isn't available to us yet. I'm using unblock-us' dns to get access.
Um... DNS literally does nothing except map a domain name (like "netflix.com") to an IP address. I'm quite sure you can resolve the Netflix domain name overseas. What you need is a proxy server. Proxies let you connect through them to the rest of the Internet, and to everybody else it looks like you are located wherever the proxy is. That (or VPN, which the phone currently doesn't support), and not DNS, is how you get around the "geo-IP" geographical restrictions on a service.

Proxy and port

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.

Android authenticated proxy on data

Hi,
is there some app that would let me fill proxy url (with authentication) and then run traffic through that proxy? Or at least some add—on to some browser, something like switchy omega is for desktop chrome.
I have found https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.assets.androidproxy but this doesn't support authentication.
I know there should be some solutions for rooted phone, do I need to get root access for this to work?
I also know that I can setup proxy for the access point, but that means always fill username and password by hand.
Thanks
