Howdy all. I have a wifi at home which works with web authentication i.e. you connect your phone to wifi and on opening a browser, it redirects you to an authentication site wherein upon entering your username and password, you get connected. The authentication page requires you to keep the tab open and work with another tab, otherwise you lose the connection. When working on a PC, it works like a charm. I keep the tab open and wifi sticks for long even when you're not active. But on a smartphone (I have a Galaxy S3 here), it's a living hell trying to keep it stay connected. I've tried keeping the browser app resident in memory, created a tasker script to browse the URL and reconnect on certain intervals which honestly is too tedious and needs a better solution, used wifi web login apps which don't work to my satisfaction i.e. don't connect just when connection is lost; but in all these cases, the connection just seems to disconnect making me reconnect time and again :/. I would be utterly grateful to anybody who could suggest a solution for me for this as this is seriously making me lose my sleep.

Dunno much about wifi security protocols but this is as my ISP provided. I've tried modifying the router protocols but nothing seem to make the web authentication go away.

it could be the provider is forcing it, have you tried another router? normally, the web authentication is a proxy, so that could be the modem, or at the provider's end

Don't think the router has anything to do with this. Only the provider URL loads in the browser for authentication. So yeah, would know if it had something to do with the router.

I have created an SOCKS proxy server application to run on Windows Mobile phones. A SOCKS proxy is a proxy server that is capable of forwarding nearly all types of network traffic, similar to a NAT router. It is very simple to use. Simply type in the port you would like the proxy server to listen on (defaults is 1080), then click the large "Start Proxy" button.
In order to run this application you will need the .NET Compact Framework 3.5 installed on your device.
Some applications are SOCKS-ready and others are not. You can use FreeCap (freeware) to SOCKS enable any Windows application. ** FreeCap seems to have problems connecting to SocksProxy. Let me know if it works or doesn't work for you. **
I am *NOT* responsible for any fees charged to anyone for the use of this software. There is no warranty and no guarantee.
[UPDATE 2/25/2009]
I've completed the new version of SocksProxy. It implements socks version 4a. There is no security, so it will allow anyone to connect with any user id.
Please let me know of any issues you find.
[UPDATE 2/24/2009]
SocksProxy v1.0 Reboot
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've completed the new proxy server. It looks pretty much like the old one, but I've anchored the controls to the edges so it should scale properly with VGA devices.
I've written a new Socks 4a proxy from scratch and completed ditched all the old code. It seems to be working pretty well, though a bit slow. I think I need to increase the size of my read buffers. I will have to write a smarter heuristic for determining the size of the buffer per connection though. I have them at 128 Kb now. I need to grow each buffer dynamically according to how it's being used, that way I don't create large buffers for connections that are only transfering small amounts before closing (downloading a small gif or javascript file, for example).
I'll probably release it tomorrow after some more testing.
BTW: I'm posting this through the proxy right now!
[UPDATE 2/24/2009]
I've decided not to move forward with the J2ME version of SocksProxy. I will however be writing a new .NET CF version. The current version's proxy is based on code I ported from a proxy targeted to the standard .NET framework. Some features in the standard framework are absent in the compact framework. When porting the proxy I pretty much just did it as quick and dirty as I could because I really wanted something that just got the job done. I didn't care how stable or 'good' it was because I hadn't even intended on releasing it to anyone. Since it looks like there's still a lot of interest I will be writing a new one from scratch. Don't expect too much; It'll be the simplest thing that possibly works, but it'll be stable and reliable.
I'll be naming this version SocksProxy 1.0 Reboot. I'm not upping the version number because I'm really not going to be adding any new features.
[UPDATE 11/4/2008]
I am working on a J2ME version of this application. I will no longer be maintaining the .NET version of the application. The SVN repository for the .NET version will continue to be available. I have no plans on taking it down.
I have decided to switch to J2ME because I will be able to reuse source code in a future Android release -- that is, if Google or someone adds the ability for Android to have more than one IP address.
[UPDATE 10/27/2008]
There is a usage issue with the application with certain configurations of Windows Mobile and Activesync. It seems that when the Activesync host (your PC) has a connection to the internet the handheld device will prefer to connect to the internet via the PC's connection rather than its cellular connection. This completely eliminates any benefit to using the proxy. Does anyone know how to prevent the handheld from routing its internet traffic back through Activesync? Note that this is NOT solved by setting the "Allow data connections" setting in Activesync.
[UPDATE 10/27/2008]
I have updated the SVN respository (https://pchasco.homedns.org/svn/SocksProxy/trunk). Here are the changes:
* Changed "Listening on" box to list all IPs on the handheld
* Added an IP box. Enter an IP to listen on that IP or leave blank to listen on all.
* Rearranged form
* Added "Use selected IP" button to insert into the IP box the IP selected in the list of available IP addresses.
You can enter any IP address in the IP box, but the proxy will fail to start if the IP is not valid for your device.
Hi pchasco,
Could you explain a bit more what this does (and how it works)?
The reason I ask is that I'm looking for an application for the PPC which allows me to share its internet connection by pointing the Desktop browser' proxy to the PPC.
This allows me to be connected to the wired network and using this proxied browser to browse even the blocked sites ...
Can your application be used for this?
If so could you also explain how it works..
I've ran the App on my PPC, and clicked start, this gave me an IP address
next i hooked it up to USB and pointed IE's proxy to that address...didn't work
I also tried to activate the 3G first and/or with ICS activated
but both times I didn't see a IP address...
I'm probably doing something wrong..
Thanks
This is a SOCKS proxy, so it does not work in quite the same way that a normal HTTP proxy does. For internet explorer you'll have to open the advanced proxy options and fill in the information for the SOCKS hostort entry.
Can someone please explain a sample usage of this software on Windows Mobile?

I am not sure why you would need to use both SOCKS proxy and ICS at the same time. They are both means to provide internet connectivity through your phone to another device. If ICS were an option on my phone, I would use it over SOCKS unless the client device did not support it.

Basically, I'm trying to allow access to two networks at the same time. So I want to adjust my settings in firefox to point to my WM phone and your socks proxy. Then my other applications and IE can use my LAN. Otherwise, to get my WM ICS to work I have to disable my LAN connection which I need for certain apps.
edit... I'm good with using it without ICS, but that doesn't seem to work either. No matter when I click start proxy, I get an IP of 0.0.0.0 and if I connect my computer via USB I can't ping that address.

Then setting the SOCKS proxy setting without setting any other proxy settings should work in Internet Explorer. I've been trying to test it, but my phone refuses to access the internet through the cellular connection right now; it's always going through my PC while activesync is connected. I can't get it to stop! The funny thing is IE on my PC is making its HTTP requests through my phone, then my phone is going right back through my PC to the internet!

I think there is a setting in ActiveSync that says "allow wireless connections when connected" sounds like that might be your problem.

Sounds like the same thing that is happening to me. I finally got it to give me an IP address, but only if my data connection is inactive. As soon as the data connection is active it becomes a 0.0.0.0 IP address. Bug?
I tried to establish the IP, then activate the data connection... still doesn't work when I enter the IPort into my proxy list for firefox.

I am not sure why you are receiving 0 as your IP address. Check in Settings->Connections->USB to PC that "Enable advanced network functionality" is selected.

removed the AS connection, started the application
It showed me the IP address op 127.0.0.1 (localhost)

Hmm... I'm not sure what's going on here. 127.0.0.1 is the loopback interface-- It is only valid for your phone to connect to itself. If your computer attempted to connect to 127.0.0.1 it would connect to itself, not your phone.

Well, if I have time in the next few days I will take a look and see whether there is anything I can do. Maybe there is another IP address available on your device but for whatever reason I'm displaying the loopback instead of the external interface.

Has anyone got VPN connectivity working with DCD 3.2.5? I have been trying for hours with no luck. Every time I try to connect I just get the generic unable to connect message (VPN Server problems.

I can however use the phone with Internet Sharing and connect to the same VPN end point with my laptop. I know the VPN is working.

PPTP VPN works
Here is what I did:
Configured the VPN connection.
Create a nework exception for a valid DNS name or use wildcards:
*.myvpnconnection.com
Anything you go to in that domain will use the VPN. IE seems to be the only thing that will initiate the connection.
It sounds like you might have something wrong on the server side.

I just setup mine to use the vpn into my office and it worked slick as "stuff"... but we use a MS VPN server with AD...
I'm able to use VPN on 3.2.5 (stock, not cooked in kitchen) It works, but often time I have to soft reset before it will let me connect. Windows even suggests it... I haven't figured out a way around this when it happens, other then to soft reset.
Also I'm having a problem where VPN locks up the phone if I leave it connected, and the phone goes into lower power mode. It won't wake up with power. I have to soft reset.
Lastly, I'm trying to figure out the fastest way to actually launch the connection. It seems horribly buried / inefficent, the way I'm doing it:
I'm going to Start -> Settings -> Connections Tab -> Connections Icon -> Under the VPN Connection hitting "Manage Existing Connections -> VPN Tab -> Selecting the VPN Connection and "right clicking (hold until context menu pops up) and hitting "Connect".
Anyone know of a faster way?
Thanks in advance!!
PPTP and L2TP work fine here. I do have an issue where if I leave the connection live and the device goes to sleep it doesn't wake up and requires a soft reset. It's been like that for a number of revisions. Other than that it works fine.
Ok, my workplace has a wireless network with an internet content filter called "optenet". I know the wireless network's SSID and Password. When I open my stock browser I can't access any web pages what-so-ever but I have found that by using the Opera Mini Browser that I can access all webpages. But no other internet apps will work (XDA app, YouTube app, etc.)
My question is... Is there some method of allowing my phone to completely bypass this filter? Whether I'm on the stock browser, youtube app, etc.?
Anyone...?

I would think that since your stock browser is running off the APN (carrier) that if you set up a new APN called "workAPN" or something like that and instead of putting in your carrier's proxy and server settings, you put in the settings of your workplace it should work. Get your wifi's ip address and see if you can pull the settings from there or buy the IT guy lunch and see if he'll tell ya.
Opera most like runs from a different mobile server to route you to the mobile pages and their links. The stock browser runs through your mobile network/wifi with those proxy/server settings.
I might be way off but sounds good to me. If it doesn't work, you can always just delete the workAPN you created. Might want to check into setting up a VPN too. Not sure how those work.

@Woodrube Also, how's that battery saving guide coming along?
Pretty sure if you put the IP address in your browser bar and hit enter, it will go to the router settings and you should be able to pull it off there. That is what I did awhile ago when I bought a wifi from a garage sale. Since you are on corporate, might be a little tougher b/c of security and such but I be it could be done.

You need to have another computer running a SSH server and this program connect to the SSH Server, and routes all traffic on your phone through the tunnel. Here is a primer on SSH Tunneling "howtogeek.com/wiki/How_to_Use_SSH_Tunneling" and how it works.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 (Mini) with Jelly Bean 4.1.2. I recently bought iPad 4 (Wifi only) and decided to try to do some tethering with my phone. I entered the "Tethering and portable hotspots" submenu and paired up successfully with the iPad. However, I couldn't access the Internet with the iPad even though the connection to my S3 was okey. Everything just seemed to be loading and loading, and Chrome said something about DNS servers. I gave up and tried to Bluetooth-route. Again I was successful in connecting the two devices with the link symbol appearing in the upper left of the iPad's screen. Yet again the Internet did not work.
I should mention that I live in a country where there's no tethering regulation so I can just use the default tethering settings. I did think about if using Avast, power saving mode or anything other affected the tethering process, but after turning Avast and power saving mode off, nothing happened. I also double-checked that I could access Internet via my phone. I also double checked that I had my mobile data on.
There isn't any setting in S3's "Tethering and portable hotspots" submenu that I could try to change (I've tried tethering with and without a password). I can do something about hotspot Wifi-connection from the iPad (according to the manual):
Adjust the settings for connecting to a Wi-Fi network: Tap next to a network. You can set an HTTP proxy, define static network settings, turn on BootP, or renew the settings provided by a DHCP server.

However, I cannot do anything if I try to create a hotspot using Bluetooth.
I would appreciate help immensely!
On the tethering section, and since you only doing it for an ipad, go to configure the access point and tap advanced settings. Try changing the broadcast channels from auto to 10.
I work on a technical support desk and it seems that Ipads are very very fussy on lower channels, i am unable to test this as i don't own an Ipad but it may be worth a shot.

Thank you for this suggestion. Unfortunately it did not work. I also tried channels 4 and 11 instead of Auto without success.

I asked on my friends to test this he has an s3 and an ipad mini, he doesnt use the stock tether. But he said clockwork mod tether works perfectly well on his. I believe it is free from the play store. Perhaps give that a try.
Sorry I couldnt be more helpful

I just wanted to let you guys know that I have solved the issue. The trick was to add my provider's internet information (server, port) to iPad's settings. This is weird as with my old phone, Samsung Bada, I just had to create a Wifi hotspot with a few clicks and that's it.

Hi Tigerman82.
Could you please be more precise regrading the solution you found : What configuration did you make in you iPad, which information, in which configuration menu ?
Thank you for your help.

I first created the Wifi hotspot connection between SG3Mini and the iPad. In SG3Mini, I entered Settings -> More Settings -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names (APNs) -> *chose my provider's Internet/Wap settings* -> wrote down Proxy, Port, (User Name, Password)
Then in iPad, I entered the Wifi-settings, Tapped the > next to the SG3Mini's Hotspot connection and added the APN info in the HTTP Proxy settings. I originally tried to use the User Name and Password but it didn't work so I just used Proxy and Port. Then I tapped the "Renew" option.
After this, I could tether without problems.

How was he able to test clockwork mod tether with an ipad mini as this is a usb tether and my ipad mini doesn't have a usb port?
My phone is HTC 620G but I think its not important because I've factory reset it and it didnt help. The problem is I'm connected to wifi but I can't access to internet. Sometimes I can but its way too slow, way way slow so as I said I formatted the phone but it didnt help. Waiting for your help
edit: I dont have any problems at other devices like laptop or phones but my phone...
edit2:When I connected to wifi near any device, the other devices internet connection got lost, its been so annoying i wanna get rid of this issue immediately
2.4 or 5ghz? What encryption ie wpa wep open? Can other devices connect to the wifi? Is the channel congested?
Edit I see you edited!

Yeah there isnt any problem with other devices, btw i forgot the wifi on my phone, rebooted both phone and modem and it was perfect for a moment,then it goes back and its bad now, its 2.4,wpa/wpa2 i guess and i already tried digferent channels
Have you tried going to maccas or wherever is a free wifi near you and seeing if the phone can connect to something other than your router?

Sorry forgot that,i was at my cousins and it was working perfect, problem is only at my home
I realised something now, i entered my gmail account on laptop and it sent my phone a notification, when i opened it I saw that one of my last connected location is Ireland. I didnt download any vpn apps so why is this saying that?
You might want to check the router settings. Some routers have a default limit on how many devices can be connected at once. It sounds like either that or IP address conflicts.

It could be about ip address because there isn't so much device, so what should I do? And I think it could be about dns settings, I tried something for that but couldn't solve it
