There is an app that uses internet to connect to a server, I need to know what server it connects to. Is there anyway to find out?

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.
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!
Ok, the basic Idea of this App is to provide an easy setup for an ftp & or web server (should be customizable) which also provides a shortened url for easy access.
also my idea was that the app can do this over different of protocolls, bluetooth, w-lan usw.
is something like this technically possible?, i know there are ftpserver apps out there but it is not quite the same.

Easy ftp and web server apps already exist that work over wifi. bluetooth is tricky, as a normal web or ftp server won't be easily usable (but bluetooth already has methods of doing file transfers that works quite well, and there are apps to handle this, like Blutooth File Manager). What is USW?
AFAIK, there is not an app to do those things over ad-hoc wifi - they all require connecting to an access point. Being able to open up an app and have it set up an ad-hoc wireless network with another android device and allow easy high-speed file sharing would be awesome.
As for cellular data, there's a major hurdle to overcome on some carriers. Verizon, for example, does not allow incoming connections over cellular data. So you can set up a web or ftp server, but you won't be able to access it. The way around that is to have the phone establish the connection to some server, then have that server act as the gateway. Bandwidth is not free, though, so I suspect you'd be hard-pressed to find an app that includes that feature, unless it also requires that you set up your own server gateway. I'd like to see something like this - an app that establishes general-purpose 2-way comms with a server application on command (by hitting a "start" button in the app), which then allows you to set up different types of servers (ssh, ftp, web, etc) that are routed through that gateway machine that you set up.
One way to accomplish that whole scheme is to use a VPN - when a VPN is established (even over 3G), you can access any server you want to via the VPN-assigned IP address.
I configured my pc to be remotely controlled using the tablet, using rdp. The software im using is parallels. Also, tried the ms remote desktop app. Both works wonders over lan. But i want to access my pc when im outside, through internet.
I know there are apps like teamviewer and splashtop. But they require me to install a server app in the pc. Paralells dont. So i configured a no-ip host, port forwarding, ddns in my router and firewall in my pc, to accept incoming remote desktop connections through internet. But it seems the only way to do it in android is by installing a server app in the pc. Which i think is useless because i already have everything configured to do it without extra software and i dont want to create a teamviewer account.
Any ideas or suggestions?

Hi,
I am trying to configure an Android phone as a local web server, where people can directly connect to the phone (hotspot) and browse the content hosted locally on the phone (no internet access available). Similar to a Librarybox or Piratebox.
Web hosting part is straightforward with an app like KWS Webserver. However navigating to the hosted site is a little cumbersome as you have to know the local IP of the server. So I am looking for a way to automatically forward everyone who connects to the hotspot to a particular IP (that of the webserver). Similar to how most public WiFi networks take you to a login page when you connect?
Does anyone know how to do this easily (on a non-rooted phone)?
Thanks.

its not possible without root, instead if you wish to check how to do it on rooted device check this thread
