i need help about vpn in android - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello Dear,s
How can i mack vpn automatic connection way in android cell phone?
best regards!

Well, this question can be related into two different ways. Either you are looking for some sort of application that when you starts your android phone vpn automatically gets connected, or something other than this. I think you should elaborate it a bit further. What i know about it is that if you want to avoid putting password every time you wants to connect to vpn then you can simply use some password application manager which ease down your effort for doing the same. Further, i have heard that Hidemyass is going to launch such service which automatically connects user with android version. So i will recommend you to contact them. They will surely help you in this matter.

[Q] Atrix 4g edge/2.5G issue, takes long to connect, and other issues

Hey guys,
First of all, I am new to the forum, but I have been reading it thus far. Now, I have a problem that I cannot solve. I did not find anything related with the problem I have. I need your advises and help.
I recently bought an Atrix 4g and trying to figure it out. I configured Apn connection and installed a software called 'apn on-off' to be able to disable or enable my internet. It works well, however, after enabling it, it takes so long/forever to connect the edge connection again. So I am not able to do anything online since it does not connect, or I must await a long time for it to connect again. Why am I having this problem?
Also, is there any way to manually update my programs such as weather and facebook, instead of waiting for them to automatically update themselves, which I don't want to ?
Lastly, when it connects to edge or wifi, all programs update themselves. It is annoying to me. I would like to use my internet manually, as I want it to connect whenever I want to use or click 'update', instead of connecting automatically, which is arbitrary. Is it possible? I miss my old HTC in this respect
Thanks in advance

[Q] Qustion for Networking experts

Hi
I am trying to connect to my office wifi via proxy server.
Scenario 1: I am using Samsung Bada (wave 1), connected to the internet successfully and also any applications that require an internet connection including Samsung's app store.
While, connecting via open networks like home wifi and other friends' wifi also worked without any issue.
Scenario 2: Now I also have an android based Galaxy pocket: even after entering all the required proxy setting as mentioned above, I can access websites via browser but cannot access samsung's app store, google's play store, skype, sipdroid etc.,
I know it is nothing to do with the network administration as I am still accessing via my samsung wave but not via android. Please help me in identifying what I am missing. Is there anything like a network profile I need to assign for these applications?
thanks

Figured out the solution
Sometimes it is pathetic to notice that I didn't receive a single suggestion after I posted my question above. This is not how it used to be when we had smartphones that were just running windows long time ago.
There were lot of suggestions that comes up within a few minutes of posting, now after the invent of android and so many devices we have so many members but knowledge sharing has decreased considerably as each person is busy with solving their own issues.
Well, let me come back to the point - All that I needed to do was to run an app like 'proxydroid' or 'auto proxy lite' from one of our members from xda-developers to solve this issue. In order, to run these apps the device needed to be rooted. I rooted and installed this app and from that instance I am able to make all my apps including skype, google app market and what not all can access internet from my corporate wifi.
However, I noticed that only one application never succeeded this trick - that app is a Voip/SIP application called 'Pronto dialer' which throws a message 'unknown error occurred'. It works fine in an open wifi like at home etc., I am suspecting the proxy setting in the office network clashes with the proxy setting in the dialer...dont know what it is. Anyway I am glad and relieved that I was able to solve 90% of the issue.
Hope the above will be useful for someone with similar limitation from corporate wifi.

Automatically use SSH-Tunnel on non-trused Wifi's ?

Hey there, I have been trying all kind of ssh-tunnel apps in the market but none seem to be smart enough:
I want to automatically route all my phones traffic through an ssh-tunnel as soon as my phone connects to a wifi which is NOT on my trusted list.
The common "SSH-Tunnel" has a similiar future but just the other way (which makes it useless when looking at it from the security-perspective) -> it will connect to the ssh-tunnel once you connect to a wifi you selected. Which is useless, a wifi which i select is most likely trusted.. I want the ssh-tunnel on everything I don't trust
Anyone can recommend smth ?
Thanks
No one ?
I am still looking for a solution to this

Teamviewer alt for helping mama

Hey,
I gave my mam a motorola xoom about 2 years ago. She went from a complete technophobe to being able to google things, watch youtube etc
The xoom was giving a few problems and her old mobile phone was starting to give in so I got her a Padfone S t00n and dock to replace both and have an all in one solution. I gave it to her last night and tried to install teamviewer on it so if she had any problems, she could just open the teamviewer app, give me access and I'd be able to control it from my laptop to fix any issues. She's still very much a technophobe and I could smell the fear off her as I introduced a new bit of technology.
Unfortunately from what I've seen, teamviewer (or asus?) only allows this for business users I don't even know what this means or how to become a business user.
Is there any way around this or any alternatives that can be used? The installed PC link won't work as were on different wifi connections.
Any help would be appreciated!
Bump? My mam has been running into a few problems and I'd like to be able to fix them remotely if anyone knows how?
Bump again

Looks like it's a restriction Teamviewer (possibly at ASUS' request) put in place.
An alternative is to set up a VNC server on the Padfone, such as https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vmlite.vncserver , but you'll have to have her tell you the IP address (if on cellular) or you'll have to port-forward her home router ahead of time (if on wifi).
Unfortunately, it's not as straight-forward as Teamviewer.
Thanks a lot for the help. I sent teamviewer a mail so will see what they say
The VNC method sounds complicated, I'm not very tech savvy myself when it comes to that kinda thing. If it requires any input from her other than just launching an app, I don't think it would work either as she's really bad
Would her IP change every time or once I knew it, would it be ok? She'd be on her home wifi but also on 3g, but the wifi would take over when she's in range which would be most of the time.

Her home IP might stay the same for long periods of time if her internet/power never go out. If you set up the router to port-forward the VNC port (5900) and make note of the IP ahead of time, all she'll have to do is launch the app and hit "Start" for you to remote in. But if the internet/power ever goes out, she might get a new IP. While you shouldn't need to re-port forward, she'll still have to tell you the new IP address.
On cellular, the IP changes often (phone reboot, switching between 2G/3G/4G, etc), so she'd have to tell you the address pretty much every time.

Ok great, thanks again for the continued input. I'm just hoping it's easy enough to set up as if I can't get it going within the testing time of the app, it'll be a waste of $10 if it doesn't work
I had a quick look on youtube for examples of the app in use and it seems fine. Do I just enter a URL to control it or do I need to install some software on my laptop? Would it be possible for me to control it from my phone by any chance, just on the chance I won't be near my laptop?
Would it be possible to use AirDroid? Or have you already tried that?
I think that would require both connections to be made over the same wifi network?
I'm waiting to hear back from Teamviewer, I think they may be able to set me up with a commercial license possibly

Searching a safe app to remotely locate phone, take photos and display SIM number

I'm searching an app (possibly open source) to remotely locate my phone, take photos (I mean from the camera, not stored photos) and display SIM number.
All communications should be encrypted and data should NOT pass through remote server (the server may be useful just for the initial connection but later data should travel directly).
Any suggestion?
If i am not mistaken so it would be illegal, wouldn't it ?
Why?
It must operate on my phone (not other phones), for example in cases where it is lost or stolen.
No you won't find anything like that. All data will go through a server of one kind or another.
But as stated apps like those are illegal in most places in the world.
I don't get what law do you mean.
I see a lot of apps doing these things (although without much security I think).
Can you please explain?
PS: I think one can use GCM to bootstrap then use a direct connection between server (maybe an app on the phone) and client (maybe a software on a pc).
You will have to make the app on your own.
Yes a few apps do this. Heck Google has one but in I think. (they are all useless as the first thing that is done when it is stolen is the Sim card is removed. Bypassing all security.)
I though you wanted to remotely install it.
Again you would have to make one on your own.
Just a side note. Security is a myth. If someone what's your info they will get it and there is nothing you can do about it. Just be glad that 99.9% private info is completely worthless.
No, I don't want to install anything remotely.
I install it now normally and then when I need: find location or other info remotely.
I know that completely security is impossible but I want these data to travel safely enough.
Well then I would setup your own server (not really hard with an old pc) even then the data will go through what ever server is supplying the connect. Like cellular networks or the wifi connection.
It is just an idea but maybe the phone itself can act as server when it receive a specific request from GCM.
There isn't any need of something always active, it can just activate on request using GCM I think.
