I need and app that allows me to see web connections on phones on my network like what a certain IP"connected to my WiFi" is browsing
App that allow you to see web connection
Not only an app, you are supposed to be having a paid firewall. It is having a network flow panel which will let you know how many devices are connected with your IP address and what http packets they are accessing.
Or if you are having a client server topology, then server logs can easily tell you which user is viewing what.
Even there are free tool for checking ip address-
1) Microsoft Network Monitor
2) Nagios
3) OpenNMS
4) Advance IP Scanner
you can also try "Norton Family" when you first register you have 30 days of trial for free.
Csploit does achieve this I believe, and you can also intercept other people's browsing.Though, you should be really careful when using it and you should really know what all the functions do. I do not recommend you using it, but if it is a one time quicky then sure.

Stumbled on it while searching for the opposite, a VNC viewer. Works great. Lets you control your android from any computer using either a VPN client or from a browser. The app provides both a VNC IP address and a url to visit if you just want to use a browser
I've tried another product that was like MyMobiler (windows only) and it was ok but you couldn't interact with the phone.
Droid VNC server is an actual vnc server, what else is there to say. Very happy with this free app. And this is just a recommendation, I'm not affiliated with the dev or anything.
Wishlist for the app:
• I wish I could trigger teh server to start with a passphrase in a text message.
• Wish I could SHARE the IP address in a press or two so I could email or sms it to somebody so they dont have to type it in. I also can't copy it, that would be second best. (well I can copy it using CopyPasteIt but unless you have that app you can't)
I cant get it to work

You could setup Tasker to handle this.
I stumbled on WebKey that seems to do the same thing as this. Cool and free app, but you have to be rooted... but who's not. lol
Is there a way to control your PC from your phone remotely? So like I can manage downloads while at work and whatnot?

theres like 97268466 apps to do this. just search the market for remote pc or something. i use pocket cloud and team viewer, but there are tons of vnc apps, log me in, and i hear theres since rdp apps in the works.

Here's what I do for remote access:
- Download and install VNC software for your computer. I use Tight VNC. Make sure you use a password for incoming connections!
- Forward ports 5800 and 5900 to the PC you want to control. This is done in your router. You'll need to know the local IP of your computer. You can google this if you don't know how. It should be something like 192.168.1.100
- Download a VNC viewer from the market. I use Real VNC viewer. It's expensive, so I'd try a few free ones first.
- Find your public IP address. You can find this in your router or google "Whats my IP". There are lots of websites that will show you what your IP is.
- Fire up that VNC app on your phone, enter your public IP and the password you set and you should see your desktop.
A few notes:
- You can set a static IP for your local computer. Chances are this will not change too often.
- Your ISP will change your public IP every so often. You can pay for a static IP that does not change, but I do not. Mine changes every six months or so.
That's about it. Good luck!
There are alot if apps for that, but the one I used didn't work out so well.

phonemypc is the easiest to use that I have found.
Install on your pc and setup your own login and password. Install app on your phone and enter that same login and password.
You can control multiple pcs and you don't have to mess with any ports or pc settings to get it to work.
I will second phonemypc. Have used it for over a year now, very nice.
Story once was my wife couldn't get teh mouse to work on the desktop and needed to print something. She called me, I brought it up on my phone and printed it for her. just one time I really needed it.
Teamviewer is my favorite
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.
Hi,
With our smartphones and apps we already send quite a lot of data to third parties.
I am interested by a wearable device such as a Fitbit or Jawbone (to mention only popular ones) to track my daily activities but I don't want to send more data to more third parties. In addition, if one of these companies decides to stop some products or shut down their servers, these devices would probably stop working.
As they all provide an Android app to sync the smartphone and the device to fetch the data and display it, I am wondering why it would be requested to send data to their servers. Does anyone know if these app is working properly without an active connection to these servers? Is there any way to block these connections without a rooted phone? If rooted, do you think updating the hosts file would be enough to block connection?
Aside it, I am wondering if it would be possible to redirect this traffic to a personal server to fill a personal database? Is the traffic secured, via SSL for example, between the app and the server? We can imagine creating an open source project to be installed on our personal RaspberryPi (for example) to display data in a more friendly way on desktop without giving access to private data to big companies.
Hey there XDA
So I was reading this article the other day that pertains to security and encryption on the Android Operating System
http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/sociopolitica/sociopol_cia38.htm
Basically what is says is that even if you use encryption in apps there's nothing preventing people from accessing your devices mic or camera
But I was thinking what if you encrypt ALL outgoing traffic? Now I'm not the most well versed guy when it comes to technology but I've heard about for example SSH tunnels
So I found this guide on how to setup one on Android: https://www.howtogeek.com/121698/how-to-route-all-your-android-traffic-through-a-secure-tunnel/
Would this effectively encrypt all outgoing data?

Not really, setting up an SSH tunnel will only encrypt your traffic between your device and your server, at some point most traffic will have to enter the internet in just as secure manner as it does now so that you can view a website for example, it will add another layer of security, but really only useful for privacy from those on your local network or (if your server is outside your ISP network) from your ISP also (but you'd have to change your DNS servers also or they can get info from there about sites you visit)
Also non of that will stop the issue you mention above about gaining access to your camera, mic, files etc that to beat encryption they just have to gain access to your phone, that could be as simple as sending you a malware link to your email, Whatsapp or whatever, which you visit. Which seems to be what my mum did 2 days ago, there was a well crafted email that appeared to be from Genes Reunited making specific reference to her personal private data & contacts in her account so she clicked the link, now she has no internet access & other issues on tablet, but of course I can't log in to fix from here & she can't follow my instructions over the phone properly! The email password she gave me doesn't work (I wanted to examine the file she clicked on), though there was no confirmation via txt of password changed. So right now I'm not sure as could be related to the TalkTalk hacks.... Or just my mum! Rant over!
So in short no, ssl is not a simple solution

Heh, **** man.. Hope she sorts it out
Now I think I've decided to use an SSH tunnel paried with RSA authentication for the time being, it seems good enough for me

Tor seems awesome
The proper way to achieve this is using a vpn which permits flexibility on the networking side. I use openvpn server on my home computer and i connect my phones to it. It is set to redirect all traffic through the encrypted tunnel which is forwarded to the internet through my home computer.
Now as noted before the information still goes out to the net at some point and comes back. Encrypting traffic does not help if you click on something malicious out there.
It does help to prevent the directly connected network to snoop on your actual traffic though. Handy when you connect to free wifi etc. Also you can filter traffic by application on the phone or by destination on the other side on the server.
