I've set up my proxy via wifi settings so I can use it as and when I want but does anyone know how to set up a proxy that would also kick in when using mobile connection?
My VPN works fine but the proxy is more reliable when streaming overseas tv.
Im unrooted with a TMo HTC One S
Anyone?

Has anyone ever attempted to set up a WinMo VPN to a Sonicwall firewall? I've been spinning my wheels for a few days now trying to get it to work on my TP2 with no luck.
I've not connected to Sonicwall, but I too wasted a lot of time trying to connect to our corporate VPN server (uses PPTP). The phone couldn't connect--wouldn't even attempt to connect.
I then installed another modem connection in my work connections. I used the #777, [email protected], and password = vzw. It works now.
Maybe that will also work with the Sonicwall. I'm curious why I had to go through all those steps. My other Windows Mobile phones automatically used the Verizon connection when a VPN session need to be established.
Thanks, but I can't use PPTP. I need to use IPSec or L2TP. My issues are more about properly configuring one of these protocols. Anyone? Anyone?

how about netextender?
Hi
I have a HTC Desire with Android 2.2.
I want to add a proxy to WiFi but I can't find any proxy settings in WiFi.
How can I change the proxy?
Thanks
You can't.
Android proxy support is sub-par at best.
Also: proxy support on APN's doesn't work as it should.
Having an issue using the built-in VPN. I can set up a PPTP VPN and connect, however, once connected I have no internet (no data). As soon as I disconnect, I have data. Did some searching around the web and noticed it was a know issue on Android, but wondering if others on the TF have the same issue?
When using a VPN it uses the gateway on the remote network. If that network requires a proxy server you won't have an internet connection. There are apps out there that let you set proxy settings, but thankfully Google is finally included the options natively in the 3.1 update. What I would really like them to do though is allow you to use your local gateway instead.
I have no problems using AceVPN www.acevpn.com with my TF using the builtin vpn client. My HTC Inspire also works great on there.
What is the built in VPN client you are speaking of?
I am looking for a VPN client i can use to log into my work network - I assume it doesn't have to be the same client as on my laptop?
I am going on holidays and only taking the TF - I want to be able to VPN into my work network if needed. ON the face of it I don't see how it would work since even if I VPN in the network is MS based so not sure how an Android client works on a MS based network - since I am not remoting into a machine with Windows - just VPNing into the network......so once I am in then what?
Has anyone been successful using the VPN function on AT&T's LTE network? I can connect successfully but no web pages will display and it's as if I have no internet connection. Using the same VPN while on HSPA or WiFi seems to work fine, so it leads me to believe it's a problem with AT&T's network.
On a side note, does anyone know if tethered connections also route through the VPN connection on the phone?...and if so, would it hide the tethering from being detected by AT&T?

Not sure if your problem is the same as my. But when I connect to my work vpn, i think it routed all my phone's data to the work vpn connection.
anyone knows how to separate the two?
I want work lync on vpn and others remain using my carrier 3g connection.l

Not quite the same issue, but I'll take a stab at answering your question. That is exactly how VPN was designed to work. If you connect to your work's VPN, everything on your phone will route all of your data through that VPN. It's done at the system level, not application level.
Hello all,
I setup OpenVPN so I could access my home network and view my TWC Spectrum subscription when out and about . The Spectrum TV app is detecting that im using a VPN and limits what I can watch.
I see in the past users on XDA developers removed blocks from the old app (APK) but im wondering if there's another way to hide the fact I'm using a VPN. I am using the default port (1194) but I'm wondering if changing that will help before I go through and do that.
Thanks.

i had the same problem so i just spoofed the ip on a different time warner cable / spectrum node
and gave me all channels
How does it detect VPN? By outgoing IP or by the settings? Spectrum TV is not the only app. Netflix does the same.
@legendofsounds can you please elaborate on how you got this working?

twc spectrum assigns you an ip address (DHCP) for your subscription so that ip is only going to work for your username and password for the spectrum tv app.
What i did is i logged in to my Netgear r6300 router settings and went to the internet tab i seen my ip address and copied the same numbers shown for
ip: x.x.x.x
subnetmask: 255.255.x.x
defaultgateway: x.x.x.x
i went to visit my family in another city/Node
and logged in to they're router settings and set a static ip with the same ip i had back in my house
once i hit apply settings opened spectrum tv on a roku logged in with my credentials and it worked like a charm.
NOTE: If you try this in the same city where modem A is it wont work because the ip will have a conflict problem
Thanks for clarifying!
This is an interesting work around (and one I'm surprised works).
However, it doesn't help the situation I (and I believe the original poster) are in. I'm able to log into the VPN running on a machine inside my TWC hosted network using my router or even an individual PC, and that works fine. I'm able to see all channels.
Problem is when I'm on my phone using a mobile connection (or wifi on a network that I don't have control over). I can connect to the same VPN on my phone, but the TWC app disallows use when it detects that the phone itself is connected to a VPN. So it seems that we need a way to connect our phones to a VPN without the TWC app knowing it's connected to a VPN.
Is there a working modified apk that disables the VPN check?
