I have a really weird problem I am trying to solve. (Hopefully this makes sense)
I have an app on 2 different android phone and Fiddler on PC (android can connect to it through HTTP Proxy).
How can I have the two phones internet traffic (of at least that one app) run through fiddler BUT without access to a WIFI internet connecftion (using mobile data only). One phone can tether and is rooted.
And for bonus points... having all that happen behind TOR proxy.
Any input guys? Thanks!

I have tried the reverse tether app on GP by jasongong and it gives me a (Kernel not supported error) on two different ROMs (spike pure ICS and resurrection remix 2). There is another reverse tethering application on the market but its paid.
I cannot possibly imagine that such a basic functionality is not available by default let alone so rare in the GP. I just need to be able to share a LAN connection through a USB cable... is there anyway or any app to do that?
when you say reverse tethering, do you mean use your pcs internet connection??
if so then sure ya just connect ya wifi to the pc, or should i say router.
There is a program you can get for the pc, called VIRTUAL ROUTER or CONNECTIFY, both of which let you turn your pc into an internet hotspot providing you have wifi, this is how i connect my 360 to get around the firewall issues for online gaming.
Hope they may help you.
I am doing this to get internet at work. Wifi is protected by a password that I cannot know. So I need to get my PC's LAN internet connection on my phone via USB. HTC has a beautiful utility for that. I don't understand why samsung doesn't have this simple functionality... :S
I have a grandfathered Unlimited Verizon Data Plan that my company is paying me to have. I do not like Verizon, and am out of contract, so I recently purchased a Nexus 5 and plan on paying monthly with Ting. I have to maintain a "company phone" but using Google Voice, and importing all my accounts, it is really trivial that I would be using the Nexus 5 on a different carrier, since they only subsidize their employees, the device does not actually belong to them.
Instead of leaving my GS3 in a shoe box somewhere or selling it, I wanted to try using it as a dedicated hotspot for my apartment since I live in an area that has capped data from ISP's and no real solution (read FIOS) yet.
I purchased a Netgear Wireless Bridge Adapter WNCE2001 and set it up to connect to the phone's wifi hotspot and plugged that into the WAN "internet" port of my router running Tomato 1.28 firmware.
All seemed ok as far as ability to surf the web, use netflix from my TV, etc however there was a huge problem with some of the things I host from my internal network, such as media servers Subsonic, and Plex.
I am not able to access anything hosted on my internal network from any external network, even though I have not touched or altered my configurations - just replaced the WAN / "internet" port of my router with the tethered data connection.
After days of research and reading I have attempted a few fixes, although none have truly worked so far:
1) I tried connecting the phone to an open VPN server and then routing that traffic through the built in wifi tethering . This indeed worked - I followed some threads linked below, and was able to verify that now everything on my network was using the Open VPN connection - however I could not figure out a way to forward the ports appropriately and access Subsonic or Plex from the outside world.

2) I attempted using SSH tunnel from a remote Linux Server and although I could verify tha the tunnel was getting data piped through, I could not actually access Subsonic or PLex from the outside world. I tried to use tsocks to force all traffic for each service to use an established SSH tunnel but did not have much success.
It is important to note that these methods were tested on a shared server of a friend of mines, as far as I know they do not have root access and can not alter the open VPN or Open SSH configs or manually open ports on the server side. I wanted to just test it out to verify that it could work because I do not have a dedi or vps at the moment, I would consider getting something small from digital ocean or Amazon EC2 if this could actually work.
3) Lastly, I tried to use this port forwarding app, which as far as I can tell did absolutely nothing
Any help or direction is much appreciated, at this point I am more frustrated because after hours of reading and trying things out I feel as though I am now even more confused as to why this isn't / can't / could be working?!?!
Another thread I found here that seems like maybe it could be similar is the ability of getting NAT free with XBL using tethered data. I dont play video games, but I am wondering if something similar could be done using a crossover cable to allow for opening up ports through the wireless ISP as well? The older computer I use to host my media stuff from is running Ubuntu, and I have a Macbook Laptop, I only run Win7/8 in VM's on occasion - ideally though I want to find a solution that only uses the Linux Laptop, the phone, and the router - I can't leave my laptop home.
TLDR;
Halp! :silly:

How to I send media servers from one side to the other and avoid all the NATing and dynamic IP's ? :victory:
I use versavpn with verizon and connect with openvpn. They give 3 ports to forword and dedicated ip. You chose the ports u want to forward on there web site. I have plex and remote desktop and a ftp server running on my unlimited data Verizon plan 300 gigs used a month for 3 years now. This has worked OK for me. I also ditched the tethered phone and went for a 4glte router instead much less hassle.

I am currently using Straight Talk, and found that the Android built-in "portable wi-fi hotspot" worked right away for me in seconds. I know this is against the terms of use for Straight Talk, but how can they tell I am using it? I would like to be able to tether my laptop once in a while (perhaps 100 MB/month for work when I can't access wi-fi). How would they know? Couldn't Android apps be coded in some way where the carrier cannot tell that an external device is connected?

well, using a laptop takes a lot more data, then say using your brower on android. so the upstream and downstream of data being pulled would be a dead givaway
? I didn't say what I was doing on each device. I probably use 1GB/month on my phone, and as I said, maybe 100MB if tethered.

It's called packet sniffing. They know what browser you're using, and what websites you're visiting. They know you're not using the phone to browse, but rather a computer via tethering.
The way around this is to use a virtual private network (VPN). VPNs are a service you pay for, monthly or yearly.
Another way is to use PdaNet+ and USB tether to your computer. PdaNet has a companion program that you install on your computer, and there's an option to "hide tether usage", which creates a VPN between the 2 devices. It has a bluetooth tethering option as well, but connection speeds won't be as fast. PdaNet+ is $8, which might seem a bit high, but it's only $8 once, and the freedom it gives you is well worth it. I USB tether my phone for my home internet, have been doing it for months with T-Mobile's unlimited high speed, and use a ton of data (100gb+...one month I used nearly 400gb).
If you have no carrier provisioning (ie: a Straight Talk tethering app) on your phone, it's possible that you can use a browser plug-in that masks the browser. In other words, instead of your Firefox browser being detected as for PC, you can mask it as Firefox for mobile, or Chrome mobile, or whatever. YMMV, and sites will tend to load up the mobile version, which can be a bit of a PITA.
It is not illegal to use your data as a wi-fi hotspot. FCC law. It's not against user agreements to do so either, except for certain circumstances (like running a server, but you're not doing that anyway).
Hello
I need to connect to my companies network using the Cisco AnyConnect VPN client. At the same time, I also need to use my companies web proxy, when I wish to access the internet and even some internal sites.
Would anyone know, how this can be configured on rooted Nexus 5 or 7 devices (with OmniRom) and on a Note 3 with stock rom, all using Android 4.4.4?
I do know that I can set a http proxy in the Wi-Fi connection settings and also for the mobile data connection. But this does not seem to have an effect, when I connect to the VPN.
Well…? Any ideas how to set this up? Would be quite a blast - company is actually considering buying iPhone 6 Plus… :crying: For rather obvious reasons, that's not my preferred solution
Thanks a lot,
Alexander
Hi,
I'm looking for a possibility to connect an accesspoint(A) (without internet access) to my mobile phone and share the umts internet-connection to this accesspoint(A).
With the "hot spot" option it won't work because accesspoint(A) to accesspoint(B) connection is not provided so long...
Is there a way to share the mobile/umts connection to the accesspoint(A). If yes - how may I realize this?
Thx folks
Ok... I didn't found something in the whole world wide web
I want to create a simple app which starts the wifi and mobile connection of my (rooted) device (HTC one mini, Android 4.4.2).
The problem is that the mobile connection is interrupted due to an established wifi connection.
Can I disabled this procedure? Or is there a way this won't happen if a start the connections with the app?
