Hi,
I am on Android 4.0.4 Cyanogen Mod. Recently, whenever I open google.com or any google website, I get this popup that asks me to download Flash Player and redirect me to some website that has a link to download. It basically blocks all the routes to google related websites.
This is exactly the same issue described here: bleepingcomputer.com/forums/t/526069/warning-your-flash-player-may-be-out-of-date-redirect-on-both-pc-and-tablet but the solution is basically for a Windows machine.
After this started to happen, I:
1. cleared all applications cache data
2. Installed AVG antivirus and scanned the phone
This does not seem to be a problem with router because there I do not see the problems on computers and phones connected to the same router.
Can someone help me to solve this problem?
Attached is the screenshot.
Thanks
PS: I cannot post a link yet, so I removed the protocol and www prefix.

I have the exact same issue as above. I am on 4.4.2 (CM v. 11-20140405-SNAPSHOT-M5-i9300)
What I observed is, when I am connected to my home wireless, neither the internet browsing works nor the play store. But when I shift to 3G, my play store works but with the browser I still get that flash warning.
I have not got any information from elsewhere how to fix it (on phone).

I think it is a virüs and your system is effected. Maybe there is easy way to fix that problem but i suggest you to backup your datas and make full wipe (system, data, cache) and install your rom. For me it is definitely solution.
I think I got the problem when another computer connected to the router got the same issue.
Basically, my modem/router was bugged. There is a virus that performs DNS injection. DNS of my network adapter had been changed to 68.168.98.196, which in turn was redirecting all the traffic from my devices to the attacker's website.
So, I called the phone company and got the modem reset. Updated the settings. The problem was fixed.
If you have the same problem,
1. Check the DNS setting in your modem/router. You may need to log into the router gateway like HTTP : / / 192.168.1.1 or something.
2. If it is 68.168.98.196, you will have to reset the router.
3. Note that if you are bugged, you might not log into the router though. So, you cannot see the DNS. Probably, you should probably check in your system. For example, I do this Ubuntu,
Code:
~$ nm-tool | grep DNS
DNS: 192.168.1.1
DNS: 125.22.47.125
DNS: 125.22.47.100
DNS: 8.8.8.8
4. Reset the router. Before you start doing that make sure you have all the information, id and password for your connection provided by the ISP.
Once this is done, you can see Google and sister websites load pretty well.

I think you nailed it down. Indeed my wireless router (which is physically connected to my ISP's modem) had one of the DNS set to 68.168.98.196. I now changed them manually to google DNS servers, had my phone forget the network and added it again. Looks like it is working for me too..
Thanks a lot for posting it! I will update here if I see the issue again or anything else indicating similar issue.

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!

That's what I tried... but the IP address I get is 0.0.0.0 from your app. What IP do you usually get back when you run it? Do you just connect via USB? If ActiveSync is running is that an issue?

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.
Gave it another try
Connected to ActiveSync (AS) loaded the application
removed the AS connection, started the application
It showed me the IP address op 127.0.0.1 (localhost)
Stopped the App, initiated the gprs and started the App again.
now i'm getting an IP of 0.0.0.0, I restarted the App a couple of times but no dice
I also checked if the advanced network functionality was enabled and it was..

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.
What happens when you set your proxy client up to go to 169.254.2.1:1080?

If you can't use ICS and want to connect to the internet from your desktop, you can connect your phone using USB and start this proxy, then you can setup your desktop connection to use the proxy to get internet access.
Running Vanilla AOSP Gingerbread 2.3.3, finally managed to get this thing to talk to the local network here at work (it's PEAP authenticated, TnT Lite won't see it).
Now I'm running into the issue of not being able to access local intranet sites with my browser. Instead if just takes me to google search.
Running Dolphin HD right now. Any ideas? I'd really like to use this tablet at work to access the local intranet. If it won't do it, that's going to be a problem.
I would download the program ipconfig from the market and make sure you are getting the correct ip information on your network. Getting the incorrect DNS server can cause this issue. You can also downlond ping from the market and try to ping the internal web address. Just a troubleshooting step that I would starti with.
I was able to ping it using the Terminal Emulator, so that is working at least.
Well...I am getting my Gtab deliverred via fedex tomorrow and will be able to test my local intranet sites with the same setup and hopefully be a little more helpful. I will keep you posted with what I find,
Ok, I was wrong, I can't ping. I was pinging a server that is exposed on the external internet (Oops). The internal-only servers are unreachable. The DNS servers, though, are correct.
This is interesting.
From home I can access my work email through Exchange for Android, no problems. However now that I'm online at work and on the internal network, it doesn't work. I suspect it's because it's on the internal intranet now instead of trying to route to it through the internet.
I suspect that, while Vanilla 2.3.3 AOSP supports PEAP, it doesn't really support PEAP.

Had the same problem and it turned out to be the Proxy settings.
Got it working.
Now running VEGAn 5.11 and it connects just fine. Not having the issues with the email anymore, either. However some of the intranet sites only pull up if I know the IP directly, apparently the browser has a hard time with port redirection on the URL (it doesn't care for 'evolutionsc:8080' very much at all).
Now I just need to find a browser that can handle JIRA without formatting issues.

Hello
I have installed OpenVPN and its logging on to the vpn and is visible on the network list BUT I dont get any connection to another client in the vpn. I tried to ping another client from my SGS2 and from a client to the SGS2 but its always a timeout. I tried it with the phone and serveral wireless networks.
So I think it could be a routing issue but I dont have a clue how to see if thats really the problem and if its true how to fix it. I read some other posts and maybe it could also be a tun.ko problem but the SGS2 with 2.3.3 should already have installed it on the software, so I'm not sure how to see if thats ok. The Busybox is installed at /system/xbin. So does anybody have an idea how to find out whats actually the problem and how to fix this?
Thanks for your help!
Manolo
It's not clear to me if you tried connecting through your mobile data plan. Did you also tried that?
What is the IP that you are getting when your are connected to the VPN?
If it something like 192.168.1.* Then that's could be your problem. If the WIFI your are on, also gives you an ip adress as 192.168.1.* then that causes the problem. Either change the ip range of your network to 192.168.10* (just an example) or the ip range of you VPN.
ps can you post your VPN server settings?
Do you mean my own ip or the ip that i have in the vpn?
my own edge telekom ip is 10.219.127.35 and my internal vpn ip is 10.10.0.22
I can't post my vpn server settings because i got some key files for the vpn.
If you have installed installed this .zip
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16182571#post16182571
Then all you need to do is download openvpn settings from the market. And run in.
If you already did these steps, then the problem lies probably with your server and I need the server config. I don't need the keys of course
Thx!
How does this update work? I see no instructions on the post. Is it just to copy on the root folder?
Ah yes... I found how it goes and its working perfectly!
Thx a lot!
Hi, guys, here's my problem.
My Galaxy S2 using my own WiFi is unable to retrieve some content from web. This content is:
apps icons in Android Market,
Picasa images,
Accuweather forecasts
and some others.
Other devices using the same WiFi has no problems with it. S2 switched to other ISP than my WiFI also has no problems with it.
While trying to narrow possible causes I've picked an example image, which is problematic to my S2+WiFI combination:
https://lh3.ggpht.com/NpoJbnyQbI1kEIlrWhP_t7lj9lN519RkPB3mxQS2z6pTFjh01R3ISeyYnj4AccBSsQ=w788 (an icon of an app from Adroid Maret, remove space from url).
It won't open on my phone using WiFi, so I checked host availability. I've run on my phone following command:
Code:
[email protected]:/ $ ping lh3.ggpht.com
ping: unknown host lh3.ggpht.com
But on my PC using the very same WiFi:
Code:
C:\Users\Grzegorz>ping lh3.ggpht.com
Badanie photos-ugc.l.google.com [173.194.70.132] z 32 bajtami danych:
Odpowiedź z 173.194.70.132: bajtów=32 czas=27ms TTL=47
Odpowiedź z 173.194.70.132: bajtów=32 czas=25ms TTL=47
I'm stuck, what should I do now?
Have you any ad blockers or DNS stuff running ???
jje
Nope, it's clean Android 4.0.3.
Echo request for lh3.ggpht.com on your phone does not work. On your PC you get a response from 173.194.70.132. Just to make sure your problem is related to DNS (and not to some lower service): did you try to ping the IP address 173.194.70.132 from your phone? Do you get a response?
Yes, the host is reachable from phone using IP dot address, only name resolving does not work.
Ok, looks definitely like some DNS problem. As you already confirmed that your hosts file is fine the only thing I can imagine is your phone using some 'wrong' DNS server for address lookup.
To make (almost) sure you use a set of different DNS servers you could disconnect your phone from the wifi and enable a 3G data connection. Make absolutely sure you are not connected to your wifi. Now again run 'ping lh3.ggpht.com'; do you get a response?
Yes, that is the case.
Another weird thing is that phone on 3G resolves lh3.ggpht.com as 173.194.35.139, while PC on WiFi as 209.85.148.132. My 'hosts' file contains only localhost reference.
When I switch to WiFi while pinging that host, pings keep successful, unless I restart terminal session — after that I get 'unknown host' message.
Is there DNS configuration in Android somewhere?
OK, it seems I fixed it.
My WiFi works in a bigger subnet and hides all connected WiFi devices as as single computer.
I've installed on my Phone app called Set DNS from former Android Market, which allowed me to change both primary and secondary DNS. Initally both addresses were pointing to WiFi router itself which seems to work fine for my PC. I've changed it to DNSes of that bigger subnet I'm connected to. And it did the trick. Hopefully it won't mess settings for other WiFis I use to connect.
Thanks for showing me right direction!
Hi All,
I think I have finally cracked it. I have had this issue since getting my SG2 out of the box and i have read every forum possible for a solution. I mean i have tried everything until this:
Fix: This is for those people using their phone as a wifi hotspot that get a successful connection to their laptop or Tablet etc but cannot use the internet because of DNS issues. I.e, when connected to your laptop you establish a connection but get a limited connectivity warning.
Steps:
1. ensure you are on ICS
2. I want you to re download a fresh set of your APN's from telstra - http://configure.telstra.com.au/telstra/index.jsp (Follow your nose with this bit, you want the one that downloads all of them)
Now the fix!!
3. Go to Settings> more>mobile networks>access point names
4. Click on Telstra internet (telstra.iph)
5. Scroll down to APN Type
6. Type: default,supl,internet,dun
7. press menu then save
Your Done.
Your data notification will switch off and then back on in about 15 secs and away you go.
I really hope this helps those that have had this issue for ages.
Mewsik.
Hi,
I would be interested to see your feedback if this fix worked for you. I have had 2 work friends have the same issue and the above post fixed their wifi hotspot issue.
Cheers.
sorry to resurrect a super old thread, but i just want to say that this worked for me and thank you.
i am using openvpn and for some reason my "push dns" server rule was not applying to my phone. the computer kept pointing to my phone's ip as the dns resolver, but my phone was not resolving anything (most likely it was trying to resolve from localhost) but after i applied the above, openvpn push rules correctly applied and my computer now accepts the dns from my server automatically.
my setup:
openvpn server -> openvpn on phone -> usb tether -> computer
this way my computer's traffic is routed through openvpn on my phone so dont have to install it on my computer basically a portable vpn 'server'. this works for wifi as well so any clients that connect will also route through vpn.
Do you even have an I9100 ?
I can't believe they let this drag on this long without a fix. Upgrading to Kitkat was the worst mistake ever.
My VPN was flawless on 4.3 .... Someone please figure out how to downgrade back to 4.3.
Thanks OP for the info.

sorry to resurrect a super old thread, but i just want to say that this worked for me and thank you.
i am using openvpn and for some reason my "push dns" server rule was not applying to my phone. the computer kept pointing to my phone's ip as the dns resolver, but my phone was not resolving anything (most likely it was trying to resolve from localhost) but after i applied the above, openvpn push rules correctly applied and my computer now accepts the dns from my server automatically.
