What would it take to get this done? Could IP tables be set up so that the built in settings or one of the apps would work? I think a lot of people would love to have this capability, including me.
You could check out Proxoid. http://code.google.com/p/proxoid/wiki/installationPhone
I've never used it. It is supposed to let you use your phone for wirer proxy connections.

Thanks, but what I'm looking for is a way to use the tablet's browser over wifi through a proxy server. There are lots of apps and even browsers that claim to provide the capability, but our tablets seem to be missing the prerequisite IP tables. My employer's intranet is isolated from the internet with a firewall, and the only way through it is by way of a proxy server.
the UrukDroid mod does support iptables. so the apps like transproxy should work.
if you care to be the guinea pig ...

Thanks. I'll have to read up on that a bit. Not sure how much trouble it would be. I'm hoping for a relatively easy solution.
well the mod developers want to include proxy settings in the next releases. guess that is the simplest solution we might get.
i don't expect to get a working proxy solution in the original software anytime soon.
the only hope would be a honeycomb release which is highly unlikely, as android 2.3 doesn't have native proxy support.
Could it be as simple as this?

Apparently Hulu would come out with an app. Can a hack be developed so that people outside of US can view stuff on the app, somewhat on the lines of Market Enabler?
that would be really cool!
i assume hulu simply checks your IP address server side? if that's the case you're SOL. unless you find a good proxy maybe? a very good one
i know orbot works for pandora, i figure it could be the same deal with hulu? i might try it out
Hi mates..
Can anyone please tell how t configure Hotspot Shield? My problem is that Market is blocked in my country and the only way to access it is by changing my IP..
I tried adding VPN in the settings/wireless and networks menu but it doesn't work..
I also tried VPN Connections 0.99 app but it FCs when I try to connect..
I think it requires a custom kernel but I hope somone knows how to use it in stock ROM/kernel..
Any help is highly appreciated..
Thanks..

Hi pal,
Sorry but I know nothing about Hotspot Shield neither would I trust anyone to secure my data on my behalf when I can do it myself, especially if american!
Maybe this could help you, not only Androidwise: you could use it for all your web activities (BTW what's your country?)
You can use "SSH Tunnel Beta" from the market.
As you cannot access it I am posting the apk.
Or you could search SSHTunnel(BETA) v1.6.0beta.apk on google and you might find it.
Works like a charm, I use it to encrypt and to change my IP, whatismyip.org correctly reports the IP of the ssh server.
You need an ssh server to act as a proxy obviously.
(alternative is an proxy but firemole is not available on android)
All you need is a linux box in a datacenter.
Provider gives you root and password that you should change to something super secure, adduser name, disable root logins (/etc/ssh/sshd_config) and a few more things to be secure or if you like to risk.. just use the provided rootassword on your ssh tunnel app
I hire from www.leaseweb.com which is in NL or DE, you can get a VPS linux from many providers and they cost under 10 euro / month or get superb dedicated servers like I do if you have a use for them . Bandwidth is great but depends from the network in you country and also on the backbones used but you hardly care about this others are www.lowendbox.com and www.vps4you.it that offer 30 day trial
Hope this helps and doesn't just confuse you... But if you live in a country where things are banned I guess this would upgrade your web freedom
Now lets get back to work
G
PS you could also use it on your wireless router (get a www.dd-wrt.com / opnwrt / pfsense capable router) and you're done house/firm-wide
Thanks alot for the info mate
I'll see what I can do and report back..
Really appreciate your help
PS. btw am from Sudan..

I do not know if you can purchase their service in your country, but take a look at Goldenfrog's VyprVPN for Android.

VyprVPN for Android is for tablets (and telephones) that are running the Android operating system.
By the way, Android 4.0.3 has a VPN client built-in. You set it up through Settings > Wireless & Networks > More... > VPN.
If you need help setting it up, just ask. I used to use a PPTP connection. Now I use a more secure L2TP/IPSec RSA certificate-based connection, which is required on Sony's tablet because it doesn't use L2TP/IPSec PSK (Pre-Shared Key) correctly.
I use BlackVPN provider, they have various servers for different applications in different countries.They also have a guide to setting it up on different devices, I then use the following apps to make it all work, you will need root as OpenVPN isn't officially supported by Android. It is the most secure and one of the fastest VPN protocols available also.
You need TUN.ko to install the TUN module.
Then you need the Open VPN Installer to install the app.
Then you need OpenVPN Settings to control which VPN server you want to use.
BTW OpenVPN kicks ass over PPTP and L2TP/IPSec. Here
Really not sure if I am posting this in the right place, so apologies if that's not the case.
I like dropbox's Camera Upload feature, but quite often I find that it will saturate my internet connection and everything else on my network struggles. Especially if it is uploading video recordings off my phone.
Is there a way to place a speed limit to the data upload rate? Kind of like a bandwidth limiter for Android?

Many Android kernels got support for traffic shaping, so you can use the "tc" shell command to implement what you need. Maybe there's some rooted app able to manage this for you, since it's quite a tricky task.
But this is not such a good idea. Instead you should implement the traffic shaping in your WiFi/Internet router. If it doesn't support it native, I suggest you try some other software for it, e.g. OpenWrt, DD-WRT or Tomato.

I have Tomato installed on an Asus RT-N66U router, but the bandwidth limiting options only work for LAN connections and not WLAN it seems.
A rooted app that puts a limit on a per app basis would be something I'd be happy to pay for.

Hard to believe it's not working for WLAN connections, and even if so, you can apply the rules on the outbound Internet connection scheduling on source addresses. I.e. you can chose to implement the restrictions on either the receive- or transmit site. Do some more reading on QoS and I'm quite sure you'll manage to implement it as you need. But it IS tricky, even with the Tomato GUI, and would be as tricky as well using a rooted Android app.
And since I know it's not a such a good idea to implement traffic shaping in the Android itself, I'm not going to write this app.
Hey, I'm looking over internet for this exact thing, problem is my Galaxy Tab is hugging my internet, I need to limit it to say, 100kb/s up and down. My router is A-Link WNAP 3G router.
It would be even better to limit all WLAN traffic to 100kB/s because my computer is hooked with an ethernet cable :victory:
Can someone help me ?

You are very wrong that it isn't a good idea to implement traffic shaping. All new cloud applications have Camera upload feature which clogs the upload of the whole network and then you cannot even surf with your computer while photos are uploaded (not to say videos).
Traffic shaper would solve this things for sure! I would even pay for that app on appstore.
I used bandwidth ruler from the play store to limit upload speed in my galaxy SIII and it works like a charm. but that requires root to work ,

Dear Friend,
did you get what you was looking for?
because i am looking for an App which can control all or Each/ individual app to upload the files. likewise
google+ Google photos, Google hangout, Etc. which i hate the most to upload my photos . for them i have rooted my note4 and install AVAST Anti-Virus + Firewall to prevent the app to access the net .
Because i know what app we allow to access the internet they take away our personal information along with videos and photos which we don't know because our smartphones are 24/7 connected with DSL hight speed internet.
These type of Apps are fully controlled by the remote server to takeaway our data with minimum speed like 10KB to 30KB per mint.
I have already block the apps to access in the internet, but some reason i have to disable firewall, then most of the apps try to get updates, i need an app which can control /allow the app to upload in Bites not in KB or MB.
if you have something like that please advise
awaiting your reply
Thanks
Ismail
i see there is already ssh server available if you copy a key back into the device
but i can see good features like VPN and Hotspot are missing
i can see that vpn could be hard if not in RW mode
and hot spot just needs ap-hotspot installing
is there a way of seeing what apps are going to be available ?
a lot of handy tools on the droid which are missing from here that could be added and probably already available
nmap
virt-manager
to name a few, but handy for system admins to work on remote servers etc ...

What do you mean by "what apps are going to be available"? You'll never know what 3rd party devs will do.
However, these things won't be doable by 3rd party apps due to Ubuntu's apparmor security policies. These would have to be implemented in the system settings or as some system service as well.

The following network features are not yet included in the Developer Preview:
Advanced Settings (e.g. Hidden SSIDs, Manual IP, VPN…)
Hot Spot/Tethering
@Geeks Empire Those release notes are quite outdates. Hidden SSIDs, for example, have been there for ages now.
