App 1: Ability to make multiple IP profiles for one SSID. For example, when connected to one SSID, I want to be able to change my IP from the dynamic, DHCP IP I pulled automatically to a previously designated static IP in a different subnet. Perhaps have multiple static profiles that I can bounce between as needed. This is not for connecting to a router to get on the internet. This is for a specialized process in my company. Also, if this could be accomplished without root, that would be great.
App 2: An augmented reality app that I can import my own Google Earth KMZ/KML files that have my personal points of interest that I could view in the augmented reality app. I do not want these POI's to be published to the public.
Anyone know of any apps that can do these things? My search has been fruitless thus far. I am asking here because I'm always amazed by your Google-Fu. Thanks.

I work for an IT firm, and often when we go onsite we end up having to retrieve user passwords for various reasons. Right now our options are to:
A) Print out the site's password sheet and take it with us
B) RDP back to our company network and lookup each password as needed
The first solution is rife with security concerns, while the second is a pain in the butt.
What I would like to do is set up a background wifi sync at the office with my android tablet, so every time I leave the building I automagically have up-to-date files with me. But also store them in an encrypted folder or format, so if the tablet gets lost we don't have to reset many hundreds of client passwords. I am not at all opposed to buying an app, or more than one if this can be accomplished in a convenient and secure way. Any ideas?
Dropbox? Preferably combined with storing the passwords in an encrytped database such as keepass?
Really, you want confirmed sign off from your management here. ****ing up with a customer password database (say you lost your phone) is a Career Limiting Move.

Not sure where to post this and if the title is an accurate description. Basically I am looking for something like X-Forwarded-For spoofer so it can add custom ip in the http header for browser. There are such plugins for chrome and firefox but can't find anything for android. Anyone knows such thing exist?
Really would like this to evade location restricting websites. Trying to watch a game on my phone. It is blacked out in the state next to me, and that state is where "my ip registers because of how ATT routes mobile data. +1
Am familiar with Google map and some other mapping apps. What I'm looking for is something similar that keeps routing notes of business locations. A client provides a product for area retail outlets. Need app that allows notes to be kept for multiple locations where can click on a map, click on business location pinned on map, and be able to edit note/spreadsheet for that location. App would be able to track when last visited a location, items delivered, etc. by doing a quick search and also be able to print. Sometimes these areas don't have access to the Internet so being able to use offline map with notes would be a big plus. Is there an existing map app that has such capability?
Disclaimer: I know nothing on how to configure firewalls except for adding apps to the whitelist/blacklist.
Tried using NRFW and I noticed a few things:
1. I've consumed 12.54GB and 9.77GB was by NRFW. What's happening please.
2. I've tagged some apps that can only connect when I'm on wifi, yet I'm still getting notifications when I'm on mobile data. For example, the Facebook app and some games.
3. How do I determine which IP address should be allowed or blocked? For example, I see IP addresses pointing to Akamai and my ISP.
4. Is it a good idea to turn off background data? I restricted it on mobile data and allowed it when on wifi but some apps would not load properly even when I'm connected to a wifi network.
Thanks in advance! And please excuse me if I posted this in the wrong forum.
EDIT: I'm referring to Grey Shirt's NoRoot Firewall.
I read up a bit and learned that 1e100.net are Google's servers. I understand that these point to ads too. I also noticed my ISP's name shows up under these.
Do I allow these or do I block them?
First of all: sorry for answering so late ;-) ...:
- in my opinion, your traffic from internet is being redirected through this NoRoot Personal Firewall unto your smartphone
- so, the 9.77GB you mentioned were 'routed/directed' through the NRPFW - the rest was not (? - maybe for Android-Updates or anything?)
- as you could most probably see, all of these 9.77GB were allowed to pass through from the internet servers (akamai or google or microsoft or ibm or yahoo or many more..) to your smartphone ('s apps / system apps)
- notifications about your mobile connection(s) MAY simply be wrong (as i found out) - seemingly a bug in the NRPFW-app (?)
- akamai is one of the " intermediate servers" or main server for a couple of websites:
for example, when you open the 'WashingtonPost'-website on your smartphone, (all) contents from their website are upon an akamai-server, because 'WashingtonPost' does not have a server on its own inside their office building maybe big enough to handle all traffic from their website to all readers in the world
- your Internet Service Provider has intermediate servers for (any) web content, too - so, you might want to allow their internet addresses
- furthermore, background data is transferred when you have an email-app and this app (gmail or yahoo-app, e.g.) is transferring data even if you had closed the email-app (so you cannot see it anymore on your launcher) or it's even running in background and checking if there's new mail when auto-started while your smartphone is booting.
I´m not a developer, but do have a superficial understanding of communications.
There are many attempts on creating a more censorship resistant and independent/incorruptible communications protocol.
To me it appears that these attempts are splitted between:
1) Those that attempts to be decentralized p2p. (like Jami and Briar)
2) Those that rely on a server. (like Signal and Matrix)
P2P is more desirable from a censorship point of view, but it´s very challenging to get realiable P2P communication up and running seamlessly over the Internet, without any server. It´s virtually impossible for ordinary people to use Jami and Briar.
On the other hand we have Signal and Matrix, that are easier to use, but as I understand it they run all the communication over centralized servers?
A more balanced approach is XMPP that has federated servers. The issue here is that all communication is running through the servers, which means that a lot of capacity is needed and all the data is flowing through few points. In my experience I was kicked from a voluntary server, because my son he had fun bombarding me with messages and pictures. Then I could of course use a paid server.
In my mind a much better approach would be to develop a federated hybrid server/p2p protocol, like XMPP, just only for exchanging IP adresses and ports between friends. Then let all the traffic flow p2p? From a security and safty point of view, there´s no reason that all the messages/pictures/videos goes through a centralized server? In this way a server could serve factors more people, a paid server would become a lot cheaper and a voluntary server would be of much greater utility?
