Has anyone successfully managed to change their external ip while tethering? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have been trying with no success to get my ip address to display as something different on a global level so it even changes my ip while tethering.
Can anyone please explain how to do this with either tor or proxydroid or anything like that? i am rooted but nothing works it seems.

Did you tried orbot?

Yes. However it doesn't totally work for me...if i check the box "tor everything" then nothing works and i get 0 traffic. But it also has a seperate box you can check to tor the tethered connection...but that doesn't work for me either. At least not with the default android tethering program in 4.2.2
Does it work for anyone else?
*edit* i use a user agent spoofer on my chrome browser on my desktop...but I don't think that would mess up anything like this would it? the only thing that makes me think it might is i always see "waiting for proxy" at the bottom of the screen with the other loading messages. but i don't use a proxy...

Orbot worked for me on sense based roms .... why don't you try anonxmous proxy for Firefox ?

Because it's not for my laptop really, it just needs to go through it. I'm running xbox live through the internet connection sharing and certain things are blocked on it right now...trying to bypass that.

VPN Cisco app -- any suggestion ?

I would like to know if you have experience with VPN Cisco with IPSec Shared key. I tried few of them but none of them seem to work. I have the configuration correct and tried with my Ipad VPN with no issues. I greatly appreciate your help.
I use TN5250 lite from photon to get console. Just give network admin your phone name. Can't use IP because it changes on WiFi

Suggestions/Apps for direct access to my network without Wifi

I downloaded ES File Explorer and it works great. However when Im away from my Wifi I would still like to connect to my home network using 4g if need be. I do not want to use Dropbox, All share but would like to somehow use ES File Explorer with the FTP option. Are there any recommendations you guys have or any apps?
Try smart ftp I'm sure it's still free or better yet what version of windows are you running u could just enable iis

That's what vpn is for.
Many routers support Vpn Server capabilities out of the box. And even if yours does not, there is a high chance DD-Wrt can run on it.
Alternativerly you'd need to keep your computer running with a vpn-server on it.

My router doesn't support it, but I can get DD-WRT on it. However I will be getting better router soon (Asus RT-n66u) which should have it on there. Thanks for the help guys.
Also is there a app you can get to control your PS3 from your phone using bluetooth?

wiped phone now wont connect to AT&T hotspots

i searched and never could come up with another person having same problem
i am running viper rom now tried a couple other roms with no luck either so it must be something i did ...
AT&T hotspots telling me to open the browser and accept the terms and conditions to access free wifi ..
any ideas on how to get it to auto connect as it once did?
I think that was att bloatware app. If not the same, a similar app, AT&T smart WiFi, is on play store, seems like it has issues with battery drain though.

I flashed that wisp file and made sure all the permissions were correct when it rebooted. It still does not auto login to the ATTWIFI locations. Then I added those lines to the wpa file from another thread and still nothing for me.

Must have attwifi ssid in the list of saved WiFi networks, after that it will auto connect and login every time. Will show a notification when it connects.
Worked like a charm, thanks!

Anyone got any idea on this? I liked the auto connect to WiFi hotspots without signing into them to accept terms

Root Explorer navigate network drives - Manual attached

Here's hoping someone knows, cos getting no response from the devs...
Root Explorer can apparently view network folders... Can anyone tell me how? When I connect via VPN I can't see anyway to navigate past root, nor can I see any menu item to enter a pc name / IP address. Stuck.
If no one knows, then recommendations for file explorers that do would be welcome.
Cheers all :thumbup:
Edit: Manual...

I saw someone do it on youtube with ES file explorer. But I'm sure that you need the IP address of the network each time. So I don't think thats the solution you are looking for.
What about this?

Looks like it works out of the box... not sure as they are just screen shots.
I recommend Solid Explorer. Best file explorer out there.

X-plore File Manager is the best imho. Can do ftp and smb network share, even root access. Best of all it's free.
Sent from my C6802 using xda app-developers app
So can Solid Explorer It does FTP, SFTP, SMB/CIFT/WebDav and other cloud services like Dropbox, Box etc. In yo face!
But Solid Explorer is a paid app though, but you get a 14 day trial. It's totally worth the few bucks though.

Many thanks all, I will have a play around. Liking the look of solid.
Edit: just been playing with solid, impressive, even has ftpexplorer. Thanks all for your help. Bye bye root Explorer, it's been emotional.

Ah, good old Speed Software did reply... they sent me a user manual for Root Explorer which I thought may be useful for some people...

Doesn't help though, can't see anyway to connect to network.
Tried and tested "File manager" by Rhythm Software for years now.. It gets the job done in browsing network folders.. (not windows share folders though)
It can also share your device over the network and other droids or PCs can access it.. Has password protection too to prevent unauthorized access over the network..
Press the pluss sign for a new tab, select "Network (SMB) Tab"
Now press "scan" and select the network of your choice.
Was googling for this, found the answer AND what seemed to be a really old unanswered thread on XDA
