Automatically connect to the internet using any available WiFi network

I am looking for something similar to what Hitchhicker is supposed to do, but without the Hitchhiker's problems on WM6. For me, it was completely unreliable, left tons of connection settings behind in the registry etc etc.
All i want is an ability to find a public/open WiFi network with internet access and connect to it in a single tap.
Any ideas ?

I use WeFi- Free and works like charm. Also can start programms after it connected.
I start Palringo (Free multi Messanger)

I read about WeFi here, the reason i never tried it was this:

Same thing as with the previous version.
It scrambled my wifi settings I had to make a hard reset (Asus P535, WM6).

Can you tell me what particular version seems to work on Polaris ?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: i am currently backing up to try the latest version myself, will report here later today

First report about WeFi:
It seems to erase all your normal (WZC) WiFi settings without asking, including the WEP/WPA keys. And KEEP ERASING those every start.
It would not connect to my own home WiFi (secured, WPA2+PSK, AES) despite having correct the key entered in it's dialog.
After manually connecting using the normal utility, while WeFi still running in the background, it "tested" the hostspot, and found it to have internet connectivity. After that, it reported 1 user being connected on that hot spot (me) ! What this means is, it certainly tells some of the hotspot details (SSID) to it's server. The question is, would it also share the key with every other user on the planet ? If it would, this would be completely unacceptable !!!
One positive thing about it, somehow, it managed to reconfigure the WZC on Polaris to connect to any open hotspot available (good for me), even when the program isn't running (no, i didn't forget to shut it's today plugin down). This is probably some registry setting unknown to us. I'll try fishing it out and report.
EDIT: sorry, my mistake, it didn't really reconfigure WZC, it got some processes installed, running at the background, that i missed :-(​

Just in case someone may want to know this, the part of WeFi that seems to do the "auto-connect to any open network" thing, but not the internet connectivity probing, is the WeFiSrv.exe, that seems to require Comm.DLL, Engine.dll, Hessian.dll, OpenNETCF.dll, Prot.DLL, Util.dll and Win.dll to run
as well.
EDIT: WeFiSrv.exe seems to be responsible for deleting the existing "normal" WiFi settings too. As well as responsible for eating a big chunk of RAM while running.
EDIT2: same app also responsible for screwing up the settings
Conclusion: unless you are going to connect to unprotected WiFi hotspots ONLY, this program, or any parts of it, isn't really an option.
Any other suggestions ?

[Q] Help with port connection (ftp server ultimate)

Hmm i just posted this but can't find it anywhere. Apologies if double posted or it was deleted for some reason.
The target device:
No mobile network connection, it is on wifi only
Cm12.1
Static ip
General info:
Forwarded port through my router configuration page
Canyouseeme.org reports port is open on public ip
Problem:
Can connect via internal ip from other devices but when i switch to public ip the connection times out.
I did have the port forwarding configured wrong but now the port is open. Before it would refuse the connection. Now it just times out after waiting 3000ms.
Is there and Android setting preventing port connections?
Images:
Canyouseeme.org reports open port

failure message from ftp client on android device
Also fails from my regular ftp program via windows box

One thing that concerns me is my router lists my device as having a dhcp connection. The device connection is implicitly set to static and always uses the ip address i assigned it. It very much acts static but the router says dhcp. I don't think this is the problem. But it's still concerning.
Edit: terminal emulator using netstat confirms port 33133 is listening via tcp6
Edit 2: the problem is probably the device is listening using ipv6 and I'm trying to connect with my ipv4 address.
How can i force android to connect using ipv4, or connect to my device using ipv6 address? Admittedly i don't know much about ipv4 or ipv6.
Edit 3: I reset router and set up port forwarding again. Reset static ip to a different ip. Turned off ipv6 in router. The router now recognizes my device as static instead of dhcp. Changed the port number and canyouseeme.org sees the new port as open. However, ftp client still gets connection timed out error. netstat on the server device still recognizes that it's listening via tcp6 on the port (ipv6) which I suspect is the problem. I need to force my android ftp server device to connect with ipv4.

This is seriously giving me a headache! I bought a 5tb drive to connect via usb host cable and need the ftp server to keep offsite database backups of my websites. So, it's pretty important to me.
Anyways, I've disabled ipv6 at the router level and phone level (via app and script). Netstat still reports tcp6 listening.
Is this even the problem? It seems ipv6 is pretty popular on Android and the problem persists across multiple ftp server apps. Seems like the apps would be built with this in mind. I'm trying on my android 2.3 phone as well but i can't find how to make a static ip on gingerbread.

WPA3 Enterprise Wifi workaround?

So my college has a wifi setup where I have to use a User Name and password.
EAP method is PEAP.
Phase 2 Authentication MSCHAPV2
The issue is they do not provide a certificate.
This is using the Android 11 that comes on the Oneplus 8T I unlocked it and rooted it.
Android 11 security patch does not allow you to connect to non-certificated WPA3 wifi connections.
My Oneplus 7 Pro on Android 10 had no issues using the exact same connection settings.
Has anyone experienced this or know of a work around. It seems with all new samsung devices using Android 11 they have no issues. Just my Oneplus 8T.
There must be a patch or a mod I even tried changing the file for the saved internet connection. No success.
Reference this for the security patch
PSA: Android 11 will no longer let you insecurely connect to enterprise WiFi networks
The Android 11 update will break connecting to certain enterprise WiFi networks. Here's why and what you can do to fix it.

Option 1: Add you College's public key to the trusted keys. I am not sure how that Auth method really works, but I suppose that the connection is signed by a self-signed certificate.
Try to get your hands on it and add it under Settings > Security.
Option 2: Ask your College to fix this. If they have not signed their encryption/auth method (again, I don't really know how WPA3 Enterprise works, and I suppose that some keys are automatically generated on setup), ask them to do so. If their signatures are outdated or somehow not working ask them to regenerate them properly.

I have not been successful last few days getting anything from the schools IT department telling them it don't work is like speaking another language.
There has to be a away to force Android to allow a connection. I'm willing to edit what ever files or settings via root editing that's needed. I searched the deepest parts of the internet without any luck this disappointing..

Try update system to latest build, because i can select "Do not validate" with a warning message below.
Two builds earlier "OnePlus8TOxygen_15.O.21_0215_2101010247"s changelog mentioned:

[CLOSED][APP][Need-Help][6] VPN-Server with "Servers Ultimate Pro" - how to configure?

Hi!
The APP Servers Ultimate Pro is runs perfectly on a Samsung smartphone with Android 6. (alternative free version = Servers Ultimate )
Many servers are integrated there. You may have to install extensions. I have already got some servers up and running.
Actually not a bad thing.
Now I want to try whether a VPN server is possible with it! If so, it would be very cool! I need help with the setting!
1.) The server app also needs a "server.conf" or "server.ovpn" = in which directory does it have to be for the app?
2.) I need help with the correct structure of the Conf and how exactly to address the certificates.
3.) How many ports do I have to activate in the router and can I freely choose them?

Was unnecessary!
PLZ close / delet thread

I've been struggling with some of the configurations. I have the web server up and running with Wordpress. FTP works, IRC runs but I can't seem to get myself admin (OP) status. Email, I can't get it to connect, even with the extended ports above 1024. GIT server works, that's where I'm storing the source for my web site, the using FTP to place it in the www directory for the web server. I'm using the DNS on my HAMMESH network to point everything to the Android TV box that the Server apps are running on.

My goal is to have an Android TV box, that I can plug in to an ARDEN Network to provide a Website, local email, chat, storage sharing for disaster photos. Email is the only thing I can't get around. I also have a Le Potato Arm64 board that has Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, running ISP Config. That is my plan B. I may be better off with this route since it supports a 256GB MicroSSD card. I found an X88 TV box on Amazon that has 4GB and 32GB for $40 US, that may be plan C is I can get the email sorted out. I've tested the connection with Telnet ip_address>2525 and getting the connection refused. If I use the tools inside Servers Ultimate Pro, it talks to the email server, If I issue the EHLO command, it responds. So it appears the email server app may not actually be opening the 2525 port like it's configured to. I may try the proxy server, to see it that can route the traffic to the backplane on port 25

I'm testing against my M88 TV box and I can now test the email

Question Xiaomi 13 - Wi-Fi portable hotspot MAC address (BSSID) randomication

Good day.
I have the following problem.
My Phone is Xiaomi 13 (global version). Codename is "fuxi".
My rom at the moment is stable "xiaomi.eu_multi_FUXI_V14.0.24.0.TMCCNXM_v14-13"
Please be advised that every time switching on the Wi-Fi portable hotspot (for internet sharing), the MAC address (BSSID) is changed in the phone.
And the problem is Wi-Fi adapter (TP-Link TL-WN725N v3) in my car (Kia Sorento Prime) recognized it as different hotspots, and therefore not connects automatically. I have to mannually connects to new hotspot everytime. Photo and screenshots attached.

}
FYI, my previous phone Xiaomi Mi6 had a static BSSID of portable hotspot and the car always connects automatically which was great.
I have been looking in settings for everything related to Wi-Fi for a long time and found the following:
1. Developer options > Wi-Fi non-persistent MAC randomication
This option doesn't work! I tried ON/OFF - no any difference.
Screenshot attached.
2. Password & security > Privacy > Protection from Wi-Fi probe requests
Alternative name is "Wi-Fi Probe Protection". I've googled what is this and found the following: "XDADevelopers says that the feature appears to “randomise a smartphone’s MAC address so that the actual address is not shared with the WLAN router with a probe frame,” which is basically a request from a smartphone to scan available WiFi networks in the vicinity"
This also can be a sollution, but the problem there is no possible to disable this option. How to switch it off?
Screenshot attached.
3. Just FYI, real device mac/randomized mac can be configured in Wi-Fi saved networks only.
However in case of portable Wi-Fi hotspot (for internet sharing) - there is no such option, always randomized mac.
Screenshot attached.
Pls check on your side and fix if possible.
Pls revert with your comments/sollutions.
Many thanks in advance,

Hi, i have never had issue with this, but for second question, did you try disabling MIUI optimisation? Maybe it will then allow you to disable that option.

Hi. There is no "MIUI optimization" option in the developer settings on Xiaomi 13 (xiaomi.eu rom).
Look at screenshot.
