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..

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?

Go to AirVPN.com and create an account then you can create config files to their servers... I've done that as well... Try it...
google - gentle giant!
i guess google makes mistakes, too. sorry for you problems.
i had to relogin just to say thanks

Hi - Is anyone aware of an Android app that will allow you to access your Windows Media Player library over the internet?
I can access it in the house using 2player.. but what would be really cool would be able to access my media over the internet from a friends house, or even at work..
Or do I need to install a third party app on my PC at home too? (I'd rather not do that unless it's the only option... and if it is the only option.. which one is the best one to choose?)
Thanks.
you can use any app that supports DLNA can connect to Media Player
All the ones I've tried only work locally.. Ie. Within range of my home wifi network... I want one that will work from anywhere...?

Yes, it is possible using a VPN (Virtual Private Network)
A VPN binds your home network and your XPERIA X10i into one single LAN (192.168.1.0/24)
This means any services available to you on your home LAN is available to you on your XPERIA X10i anywhere in the world as long as your phone has an Internet connection.
You could look at setting up a PPTP server in your home network as a first step, but it is the least secure.
An OpenVPN server would be better and more secure.
HOWEVER, it can become VERY complex if you've never done this before and things don't fall into place the first time.
A visit to SmallNetBuilder or a Windows PC forum could provide additional information.
And if you do embark on setting up PPTP, one piece of advise, don't forget Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) tunneling protocol
The following config setup just pulled randomly from the web may provide a basic starter to get PPTP server up and running on a Windows 7 PC.
How to Set Up PPTP VPN Server in Windows 7
However I'd suggest for best practice you should use a dedicated VPN Server/router to provide a VPN PPTP server, as it's always up and provides added benefits for security, given PPTP is not the best VPN solution.
PPTP client is built into the Android OS and can be found in the VPN settings.
A better solution is to use OpenVPN and OpenVPN on a rooted XPERIA X10i.
You need a tun.ko module in the ROM/build when using OpenVPN client on Android.
Hey all, wasn't sure where to place this thread... hope its in the right place.
I plugged in an E1550 3g dongle in the usb slot on the dock. Ran the UMTS Manager app (root needed).
I'm in Portugal, and my 3g provider is Optimus Kanguru. So, for portuguese users, all you need to change is the profile to 'other', and the APN to 'kanguru-portatil'... keep DNS at 8.8.8.8... and just start it by clicking 'Verbindung herstellen!'
The E1550 dongle wasn't supported, but it still worked.
Others from different providers/countries should be able to use it too. Just search for what APN configuration you might need.
For me, entering websites happens pretty fast. I've seen in another thread where a user could surf but not download files/apps etc... I tested that, and yes, apparently the only thing you can do is surf the net, which i guess isn't bad at all.
Maybe there's a tweak to be able to download and use other apps...
Oh, almost forgot. I'm on stock .21 (rooted, but not unlocked)
Edit_1:
The app was updated, and now the interface can be in portuguese! Thanks Jörg Köhler (this app's creator)!
Edit_2:
You can use Mobile Counter App to measure the data traffic of your connection.
Other Info: Tested speed using OpenSignal app, and i got a ping of 319ms, max download of 2mbps, and 0 (zero) upload speed -.-
The things you can do/use with UMTS Manager's connection are:
- Youtube App (or other apps of the sort, like the dailymotion app)
- Surf Web
- Search Apps in Google Play (but not download/upgrade apps)
- Google Maps (but it cannot pinpoint your location)
- Google Earth
- Receive and send mail with the gmail app
(But you can only do it when the app opens... if you want to receive again, close the gmail app with the task manager, and open it again.)
(To send email, just write the mail you wanna send and click send. then you gotta close the gmail app with the task manager and open it again... it will then send the mail you wrote)
- You can download stuff from dropbox using the dropbox app!
That's about it for now... need more testing.
Would appreciate tremendously if anyone knew how to make it so we could download/upload freely as if we were using wifi.
probably only leaves port 80 open (html/web). Might be a way to forward all ports to 80?
My E261 is OK too.
I think all Huawei dongle can be supported, because all Huawei dongle have same AT command.
Thank you very much, sir!
I was trying to find out how to use a 3G dongle (Huawei E153) with my TF201 and your post solved the problem. I downloaded the UMTS Manager, made settings for my operator (Saunalahti Prepaid, Finland) and it works perfectly well
Thanks again, I found your information very valuable.
T-Mobile.mk (my provider) gave me an HUAWEI E173
spend a week looking for answer or "how to" for this
nothing there ...
(double eek) Just put mine Prime to re-charge
Jörg Köhler (the creator of UMTS Manager **root**) stated that it'll work ... so double eager to try this sw
Google Translate gave me
Code:
This is a UMTS stick on Asus Prime Transformer can be used.
As UMTS Stick have been tested, type:
HUAWEI E 160
[B]HUAWEI E 173[/B] [SIZE="2"](that's mine)[/SIZE]
HUAWEI E220
HUAWEI K3715
until I try it my guess is that it'll work
if it's working
Hell Yaeh for @eddymonti (OP) and Jörg
HUAWEI E 173 3G usb dongle from my T-Mobile.mk is not recognizable
any one with any thing .... much appreciated
I was referring to this method particularly http://techwalls.com/gadget/3g-usb-asus-transformer/
probably we gonna need some more experienced users
Not working on Orange Cameroun.
ohh they joy of being an aid worker !
Can't wait to go back to my LTE dongle in Canada !

Compatible with MiFi?
You guys mentioned that it is compatible across all Huawei Dongles. Would that also mean it is compatible with Huawei Pocket MiFis? (ex. Huawei E587). Thanks!

Isn't MiFis like the E587 a portable hotspot? I think that you just need wifi for those. This app is just for usb connected dongles.
Would this kill my att USA unlimited data? ... how are packets sent out....

Huawei E353 works
Just tried this and have got my Huawei E353 working but have the same as some previously stated problems.
Browsers seem to work fine and play store browsing but again cannot get some apps to connect.
My wifi is rubbish on the boat I work on, so the extra browsing speed while in mobile range is fantastic!

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
