[Q] How to ASProxy to make apps work on WAP

Hi
Has anybody figured out how to use ASProxy
alsubang.github.com
or any other way on Android
to enable internet access for apps other then browser (i.e. pipe all traffic via port 80/443) on Unlimited Browsing Plans (not normall data plan)
like the one offered by Speakout 7-11 in Canada?
Would it require a separate computer running a proxy server since provider's
proxy (APN) will drop any packets with port other then 80 or 443?

By default, Speakout wireless only works for browsing (80, 443).
ASProxy enables Email, Map, Android Market, etc.
I found Skype does not work.

Enter the same APN settings into Asproxy and you should be good to go. I found voip apps still don't work. However, google voice works.

It took me a while to figure it out but here's what I did:
1. Make sure you have the Speakout APN profile entered into the phone and that you have data enabled.
2. Disable Wifi.
3. Stop ASProxy under its Status tab.
2. Delete all previous proxy profiles added under the Proxies tab (if your created any)
3. Under the settings tab, for Connection types choose "APN(3G/4G)" only.
4. ASProxy will automatically detect the phone's APN connection. A screen should pop up to set up a new Proxy with the following info - Connection Type: APN, MCC+MNC: 302720 and Operator: Rogers. If it does not, exit ASProxy and start it again, and select the "Proxies" tab - it should come up then.
5. For the new Proxy, you have to add some additional information (you also have to scroll down to fill in all of this info):
Proxy Type: HTTP
Proxy Host: 10.128.1.69
Proxy Port: 80
Bypass Local: [leave unchecked]
DNS Forwarding: None
Proxy Security: Basic
Username: wapuser1
Password: wap
Save the profile.
6. Under the Status tab, start ASProxy by touching the button.
You should be good to go.
Thanks.

I still can't get it to work!

What do you mean by Google Voice?
That you can open its web page and initiate a call?
BTW, are there any free alternative to ASProxy that can support WAP proxies?
BTW, is SO still 3G?

It works for some apps (browser, market, maps) but not for others.
Most notably, Google Talk doesn't connect.
Sync doesn't work. It works if I force it, but it won't sync automatically.

Alternative - ASProxy
Hi,
I was trying different softwares and none is perfect. "Proxymator" has the simplest UI and works with Google Maps, Gmail Facebook but not for Market and other apps. None of the voips work either. But I guess ASProxy is similar, not all apps work. I am waiting for a better "Proxymator" version.
Hope it helps...
Cheers

Well, while trying different apps, out of curiosity I installed "Autoproxy" developed by here in xda forum. Just forget about anything else mates. This is it...works beautifully with almost all apps. Just search the forum........
Hope this helps.

When researching the same question as to how to use Android Apps with the SO Unlimited Browsing plan, I came across this app (forum will not let me post link, sorry):
Orbot is an application that allows mobile phone users to access the web, instant messaging and email without being monitored or blocked by their mobile internet service provider. Orbot brings the features and functionality of Tor (read more below) to the Android mobile operating system.

I installed it and it seems like it could work for this, but I'm not proficient enough to figure out how to configure it, or if it is do-able. Google search term: 'Orbot, Tor on ANdroid'

Is there an equivalent iPhone app or way to get Speakout to work with other apps on an iphone?

[Q] An App with In Built Hidden APN settings ?

I am currently trying to develop an Android application that acts like a connection manager. Instead of using the default APN settings found in the phone to connect to 3G, this application has hard coded APN details in it. The reason why we want the application to have this function is because we don't want the user to be able to view this custom APN details.
I have searched the net for a similar app but all of them changes, delete, add, backup or restore APN settings. Can't find ones that has hidden APN coded in the application.
Is there anyway the above mentioned function can be coded? Any reference, documentation, information, sample applications (with similar functionality) and feedback will be appreciated. Or is there other alternative way to archive the same result ?

[Q] How to route all traffic from a single app via a proxy server?

There's a single app on my S3 which I'd like to configure so it accesses the Internet only via a certain SOCKS5 proxy server (while all other apps continue to access the Internet directly.)
I've tried ProxyDroid which allows setting a proxy on a per-app basis, but it has some serious downsides and overheads, so I'm looking for a different solution.
How can I set up, without a dedicated app such as ProxyDroid, all traffic from a specific app to go through the proxy?
From browsing through the ProxyDroid source code, I imagine one option would be to modify the iptables directly from the terminal as root. What would be the command for that? As it seems to require some uid of the app, how would I find out that uid?
Also, it would be great if the solution to this can be constructed in a way that can be used via a DroidWall custom script.
Many thanks.

[Gudie] How-To Adblock Without Root (mobile data adblock working)

I didn't see this readily available and had posted it on the Galaxy S5 forums, but it works on most devices. This will work on both wifi and mobile data.
--First step would be to install Adblock Plus APK. I got mine from: https://adblockplus.org/en/android-install
--After installing, run the app once and activate filtering. It should now be blocking all ads on wifi only. To enable adblock on mobile data you need to add a proxy to your APN.
--Go to your APN settings: system settings>network connections>more networks>mobile networks>access point names (could be different depending on phone and android version). What you need to do now is go to you default APN and copy down all the settings. We only do this because you cannot edit the original APN it seems (If you can edit your default APN, you can add the proxy to the existing APN). Now create a new APN and enter in the copied settings. The only additional settings you add to add to the new APN is:
---Proxy: localhost
---Port: 2020
Make sure you set the new APN you created as active and adblocking should be working! I have done this on my T-mobile S5. Hopefully some of you will find this useful.

How to route entire traffic over VPN or Proxy on Android?

Hello!
I am using a Sony Tablet with android 6.0 on it. It's fully rooted!
Now I would like to know whether it is possible to transfer the entire data of all apps but also of the system (e.g. time synchronization, system update, etc.) via a VPN and/or proxy, if the data transfer runs over the mobile network (NOT Wlan)?
What options are there?
Do I need apps and which apps are suitable for VPN and proxies (e.g. socks)
... currently I'm using a firewall (AFWall+) - it's a wonderful app that blocks everything I type into it including system apps and services, etc. Nothing gets through. I also need something that is deeply integrated into the system for VPN and proxy.
Hope you could help me with this.
best regards,
Xperia

Try to use TOR Proxy App and VPN you can create yourself or use any good app like Avast.

I've used ProxyDroid on old phones but it doesn't seem to work on new tablets that I have. Any other recommendations for a global proxy app?

Maybe you can check out kernel side VPN like Wireguard. If your kernel support it, you can install it to kernel as LKM. All things must go through this interface.

I found an apk called Kitsunebi that seems to work.

To route all traffic over VPN or Proxy on Android, you can follow these general steps:
Install a VPN or Proxy app: You will need to download and install a VPN or proxy app on your device. There are many options available on the Google Play Store, such as ExpressVPN, NordVPN, CyberGhost, and Orbot for proxies.
Configure the VPN or Proxy: Once you have installed the app, you will need to configure it to route all traffic through the VPN or proxy server. This may involve entering server addresses, usernames, and passwords, depending on the app.
Enable the VPN or Proxy: Once you have configured the VPN or proxy, you will need to enable it to start routing all traffic. Some apps may allow you to enable this feature directly from the app, while others may require you to go to the device's settings menu to enable it.
Verify the VPN or Proxy is working: To make sure that all traffic is being routed through the VPN or proxy, you can visit a website like whatismyip.com to check your IP address. If the VPN or proxy is working correctly, your IP address should be that of the VPN or proxy server, rather than your actual IP address.
Note that some apps or services may not work properly when using a VPN or proxy, and you may need to adjust the app's settings or disable the VPN or proxy for certain apps. Additionally, deeply integrating a VPN or proxy into the system may require more advanced configuration, such as modifying system files or installing custom ROMs, which can be risky and should be done with caution.
