ok, so i've searched around a LOT and just can't seem to find a solution anywhere.
so here's how it is. i connect to the internet on my PC through a LAN connected to a proxy server. so i bought a USB wireless adapter, and i used connectify to create a virtual hotspot. i rooted my phone and use AutoProxy (or sometimes ProxyDroid) to configure proxy settings. initially i wasn't able to use the net on my phone using this network, and everytime i tried to open a page on my phone, the wifi network would disconnect. after some tweaking i've managed to make the net work for the browser on the phone. however, everytime i try to connect to an https server, it says "secure connection could not be established". and i can't use the net for any of my apps, or for the market.
Basically, All these piece of "Very Improtant Developemental Ideas" (Which mean Useless, non-developemental Ideas) Must be thrown to the Q&A man!

I dont understand why do you use other applications to use internet only on browser, there is alredy proxy setting on your i9003 unless you have flashed it with CM7. Use the Proxy settings on the Wireless settings to use internet on your browser.
Regarding other application I have also tried lots of other 3rd party apps like you but was not able to run internet on other applications and inbuilt browser also but then I see no point of using other app just to use internet on browser.

what im saying is that with the proxy settings in advanced wifi settings or with a proxy software like autoproxy, i can only access the net on my stock browser, and i am unable to open https pages, and when i say i cant use net on other apps, i dont mean other browsers, i mean just normal apps like chat clients and the market.

it may/may not have anything to do with it, but is your USB wifi secured w/password?

1. why use connectify to create a hotspot? i mean as soon as you got your wifi adapter setup, you can connect to that wifi... no need for anything else, or do i misunderstand something?
2. proxy wise... do you have to start up the proxy each and everytime you want to use it on your pc or is the modem connected to the proxy? if its the latter, just setup the wifi adapter and connect to the wifi from phone, all done and set, no need to play around with settings...
3. if you have to start up the proxy each time you want to use it, there are other proxy apps, that create a connection to a proxy and you dont have to play around with settings, used some of them before, rather slow, but usually working... (i think i used GAE proxy)
4. VPN FTW

yeah, i use connectify to create a WPA2-PSK secured access point.
hmmm, so regular http works, https doesn't work even though your wifi is secured, sounds like a browser issue. have you tried other browsers?

yeps, same problem. and the biggest issue isnt reall ythe https websites, its the fact that i cant use apps or the market.
do you know anyone that owns a wireless router, so instead of a usb wireless you could use the entire internet wireless? that way, you could see if it's an issue with the usb or your phone.

it's possible that there's something wrong with the usb then. did you try to exchange it where you bought it?
Hi,
At my home I use OpenDNS and a Netgear R7000 router with custom word filters. While I managed to block pornographic material from all devices connected to the router, I am unable to filter the mobile data. The OpenDNS settings work when the android device is connected to the wifi and not using its own data. I have tried using apps like Net Nanny, however those apps only force the users to use its own browser which is fine most of the time when the user is browsing the internet. It will not work if the phone is tethered to the PC utilising its own mobile data. Simply tethering the phone via USB or wifi and using its own data, a user can download a tunnelling app, install it on the PC and use the tunnel browser and browse like normally. I do not think my mobile phone provider has an OpenDNS option.
I think there are two methods to go about this:
1. Either disable USB and Wifi tethering option for the device - (the device cannot be use as a tethering device which is ok most of the time until when the tethering function is really needed) or
2. Forcing the mobile data through the OpenDNS port with the help of some sort of app/setting which is password protected.
Password protecting an app/setting is possible I think as Avast AV has an option to lock an app. I am not sure if I can create a Tasker (app) profile that detects/knows the phone is in the house and disables the tethering function. Any ideas? I do not want to resort removing the data plan as communication is done via whatsapp, email etc.
I'm wondering whether I can tether with FoxFi and have the traffic go through a VPN connection set-up using the stock VPN client. Does anyone have experience with such a set-up?
Your stock vpn on you computer?
I meant the stock VPN Android configuration. Basically I'm wondering whether the following works:
- set-up VPN on my S6
- start fox-fi
- associate laptop with S6's AP
- browse the web from laptop through VPN
I'm concerned that the fact that fox-fi needs to play with the VPN settings messes things up.
You would have to tell your computer and all your programs?, to us foxfi's proxy server. Would be easier to run a good vpn on your computer.
I changed my apn settings to include a proxy. Now all the apps other than Sound Cloud are unable to establish a connection. However, when I tether my phone with my computer via Wi-Fi, the computer is able to connect to the internet too. If I remove the proxy, all the other apps also work, but I need that proxy. Please help me fix this, anyone
what kind of proxy is it..?? can u give more details of ur problems
Hello all,
I am trying to route all of my Android traffic through a VPN and then afterwards through a proxy.
I tried several methods to get this to work:
1. USB Tethering and Windows laptop mobile hotspot
I tried to use the connection of my laptop where I configured VPN and Proxy connection with proxifier through USB tethering and mobile hotspot on my laptop. Unfortunately my smartphone (Huawei Nova 2i) is only using the normal wifi connection, not the connection through proxifier, even though I set all system proxification within Proxifier.
2. Proxydroid
I tried to achieve this by using ProxiDroid. Unfortunately I can´t unlock the bootloader of my Huawei phone. If there is no way to do this with an unrooted phone, I would buy a new phone. It would be nice if there is an option to do this with an unrooted phone.
3. Mozilla addon
I could install an addon for mozilla to set a proxy connection there. I did not do this, because this would only work for the browser and I want it system wide.
3. OpenVPN + SandroProxy
This is the best option in my opinion, but I did not figure out how to do it properly. The idea is to use OpenVPN as a system wide VPN. All traffic would be routed through the VPN. Then in the next step I would route the traffic of OpenVPN through my proxy network.
This should work somehow I think, but I did not figure out how. Any information on how to achieve this setup would be welcome.
Best regards
