Hi you guys.
I have recently bought my Asus Transformer and I have a question.
I live in a country where internet is highly filtered and the access to Facebook, Youtube and many websites are restricted. I have bypassed the filtering by installing Tor on my PC and it’s working fine.
However, I wonder, is there any way to connect my Asus Transformer to my PC through ad-hoc to use Tor (or perhaps any other anti-filtering tools) and connect to those restricted websites? I guess it has something to do with Proxy settings but I really have no idea about how to get it done. It would really mean a lot to me and many others if someone can help me with this.
You can try orbit, it's a Tor-browser for android.
I think it allows you to select apps that will use the tor-tunnel. I'm guessing you just select the facebook-app, and use it like you normally would.

Actually, it's orbot not orbit I used it on my phone, it was ok. I don't know if it's working on honeycomb, try it.
You are absolutely right aibo. My bad

Hi,
What VPN software do you use to connect to your company's network?
Thanks.

I use the built in one.
I use logmein because it has a web client that I can use, but it's also the easiest to setup and maintain. In two years, I might have asked someone at the office to reboot my system maybe three times and I can't even fault logmein for those time as the computer might have just crashed on its own!
The only problem i'm having with it, is that it doesn't register mouse movements from my external mouse - all other remote apps that I use can utilize the external mouse. I've been in contact with thelogmein tech support staff to see if we can resolve this.
I use VPNC for ipsec vpn connection. You can find a compiled tun kernel module in the Development forum.

Isn't logmein just a remote desktop application and not a VPN connection?

Thanks guys.
I will try the recommended software to see which one works best.

Yea i can connect to my home wifi and other peoples wifi i just cant get any info from my schools wifi sending or reciving. Do you think it could be the port that android hose through?
Still need help/ bump
The schools wifi may be using leap to verify you on the network. I believe you can install a program that allows you to configure these settings.
Why not ask the schools administration about it? If the school has a tech support department, they may be able to tell you why.

Hey, i think your skool has a VPN Connection, try useing the VPN app on your phone, but it requires a username and password, also try your school ID for the login, hope it works
softwaredownloads
softwaredownloads.org/windows/business/pims-calendars/android-manager-wifi/
I think maybe it can help,do not forget the three letters(w)!
if your school provided the net book then they probably have MAC address security enabled. That's as much help as I am going to give you with bypassing their security
Best of luck
Does anyone have the new VMWare View Client apk that can be posted?
I had to root my Transformer for the proper VPN access I needed, now the Market says this application is not compatible with my Transformer.
VMWare announcement link - http://blogs.vmware.com/euc/2011/07/android-tablets-now-have-an-awesome-view.html

Many thanks!
I had been using the Wyse PocketCloud Pro application, but this client is so superior. Little slower to connect, but once connected, it is twice as fast with twice the resolution.
If you are connecting to a VMWare remote desktop, this is absolutely the application to use!
Thanks for posting this!
Teamviewer is even better imho. And supports VPN aswell.
installed on my HTC HD2 Android, works
hey man the dropbox link is not working. say page couldnt be found
Anyone have an opinion on how well this works versus Splashtop?

Hey guys, i hope everybody is doing fine.
My issue is that because i will live in Germany for 3 months, i would like to use my Grooveshark application there too but it seems that germany blocked grooveshark. I am not asking anything illegal just would like to know if there's a way to beat it? (Like ProxMate add on for Firefox in
Windows)
Thanks in advance..
You can just use a proxy server in numerous ways. One of them is tap and hold on your wifi connection in the settings - modify - advanced - add your proxy.

* Fixed Internet Discovery failed to login issue."

Ok but i use splashtop instaled on tablet app My Cloud,where to find update??? I try to log in but nothing is happend
Splashtop Internet Discovery
I have the same problem. I use the MyCloud splashtop app too. When I go into settings and internet discovery, I enter my credentials and click sign in but nothing happens. If I can't get this fixed soon I will have to figure a way to go back to 4.1.
I have the same problem, I think it's a bug in the app (also it's a pretty old version). I ended up buying SlashtopHD, it's optimized for tablets, works great with the keyboard dock and is on sale for $8. Discovery works great, even over 3G.:good:

Small question: Why did you buy the general tablet version, and not the Tegra 3 optimised THD version specifically meant for the TF700?
What is the specialized version for the tf700 under?

Sorry for the length of the post, but here is what ASUS suggests. My inquiry is listed at the bottom.
Dear Sir/Madam,

Firmware update cannot do *SKU conversion* and downgrade version.

Your information has been documented and forwarded to the appropriate contacts for further review and improvement. Sorry for any inconvenience.
Meanwhile, we recommend you to perform a full factory reset. Prior to performing the full factory reset, please back up all personal files because data will be erased during the process.

[Problem Description]
Since the 4.2.1 update. The Splashtop (MyDesktop) under MyCloud has not been
working completely. It works well through local networks, but, under settings and
internet discovery, when I enter my google credentials and click sign in, nothing
happens. It will not attempt to sign in. There are no errors saying my credentials are
invalid. It just sits there. Then when I back out of the menu and come back the
password is missing again. I have the original splashtop app on my phone and
installed it on the tablet and it functions fine through internet discovery although not
nearly as tablet friendly as the stock version through MyCloud.
This feature is a main function for productivity with the tablet and if necessary I would
rather go back to 4.1 to retain this capability.

Doh! I didn't realize there was a THD version. Just bought it and will kick the tires. Here are the results so far.
With my tf700 tethered to my EVO 4G I'm able to internet discover and connect to my work PC.
I'm unable to internet discover my home Mac. Think that might be an issue with my firewall. I'll look into it when I get home this evening.
Update: I think the issue was because my firewall is configured to do port forwarding to my Mac. You have to allow SplashtopTHD to discover the Mac while connected to your local network. Once it's found it the first time on the local network, internet discovery works after that.
So are we out of luck until Asus updates unless we buy Splashtop? Is there another way to locate your computer when you're off your own network? What version of Splashtop is bundled in MyCloud?

Afraid so. The version Asus bundled was customized and renamed it MyDesktop v1.1.0.14. Near as I can tell from Splashtop's support site this was a known bug in v1.1.0.14. :/
FWIW This was the last version that Splashtop released before they updated the app from Splashtop 1 to Splashtop 2. Until Asus uses the Splashtop 2 version remote access outside of your LAN wont be possible.

Actually, it's still possible - just not as easily. All that you need to do is setup Port Forwarding on your router. It's actually pretty simple.
Let me know if anyone is interested in setting this up - I'm sure I can find some good links and help a little...

The splashtop app has updated 3 times in the past week or so and still it doesn't work
Man you guys must either be young and have good eyes or porting the video out HDMI to a big screen TV or external monitor. I tried Splashtop a few times and it worked great but I couldn't see a thing on my desktop screen (high res, lots of icons) and discovered I could zoom and pan (desktop or launched app) the virtual desktop but it felt clumsy and dangerous since I often lost my mouse cursor. In app it felt dangerous like I could easily delete something. Functionally though it was an impressive remote desktop over wifi. Tried it over 3G and the latency was unbarable (and they state it will not work this way but I tried anyway just to check it out - they were right.)
I went out and checked yesterday and got an available update from ASUS that fixed this problem.
