Hi All,
Just wondered if anyone has come across any apps or methods of forwarding an apps ip address look up.
e.g. i know my smart tv IP address and the port it uses. but as you all know you can only access it while on the local network. is there a way of telling it to look at my external ip address instead? either through a 3rd party app or changing the app its self.
Am i making sense?
Sorry if in wrong section.
Thanks

I'm using a 3G data connection that requires a http proxy.
So... I've defined a proper APN with proxy.
Browser is the only program that I can use with this connection (only page view, no download). All the rest application that need an internet connection simply doesn't work.. nothing. Even the download from the browser doesn't work.
I've tried with another APN that's not using a proxy and works. Also with WiFi is ok.
So, my question is: it is posible to enable http proxy in ALL programs? I had no problem on Symbian or Windows Mobile..
This is by no means a definite answer, but in your APN, try adjusting the "APN type" setting. On Telus, it's: default,mms
From what I understand you can try a combination of those two settings, or set it to nothing. See what results you get.
Thanks for the reply
Unfortunately no change.
While it's not the response you were hoping for, since no one else has responded, I would contact my provider if I were in your position. See if they can offer any insight. Good luck!
Thanks but my provider cannot do anything. I've used this connection on other platforms without problem (windows mobile, symbian).
The problem is that application take just the apn without proxy details.. Only the browser is using the proxy
It seems that's an Android issue ..

so maybe google will understand the importance of this feature.. i'm still wondering why it's not implemented as it should..
I have heard of people here switching APNs, but I never really understood why anyone would do this. To make a long story short, is there an APN that I can use that will give my phone an external routable IP address? It doesn't even have to be permanent--I can use a dynDNS client. Are there any side effects that I should be aware of when switching APNs?
If I can switch APNs, what are all the settings? I went to the Add APN screen, and there are a bunch of settings there, and I did not know what to put in there. My current APN is epc.tmobile.com
(Optional reading here for why I want to do this. May give important insight???)
I was testing a new (to me) program on my phone, "Growl for Android". It allows the phone to receive notifications from a PC, such as "Server is down", or in my case since I intend to connect it to my home automation system, things like "Alarm disarmed", or even "Alarm is sounding". So, my PC runs continuous tests, checks, whatever, and if it detects something noteworthy, it pushes the notification to my phone. Or said another way, my phone runs a small server to receive notifications from a PC running a Growl client. The problem is, my phone does not have a permanent IP address. When I am connected to my WiFi at home, it does have a permanent IP address, but when I am just on cellular, there is no telling what the IP address is. So, dynDNS to the rescue. Well, guess what? That won't work either because the phone apparently has non-routable IP addresses (we are behind a router). I had heard in a forum for the Growl application that a different APN may help. So I am asking here.
I know this may seem like a corner case, but I thought I'd see if anyone might have a recommendation on how to automate it. I have the default Mail app from CM7 working great overall against our corporate Exchange server. However, when I change networks from corporate wifi to home wifi or vice-versa, it stops syncing until I kill/restart the application. My guess is that this is happening because the IP address associated with the mail server hostname differs between the private and public networks and perhaps the running process caches the IP address? That's the only thing that makes sense to me given that it can restore the connection just fine if it loses and regains wifi, but if you change networks you have to cycle the process.
Any thoughts?
Couple quick question is there a way to see addresses from my exchange server without a third party app?
Anyway to connection to nortel contivity router with group authentication?
Thanks for the 411
I will make this quick, and I hope to see some insight into that question:
We all known how sensitive the DNS Service is. With most of our carriers/ISP proving the service, is not a surprise that lots of people are pressuring vendors to include more privacy-focused DNS services. And that is justified, with that information a company is able to infer lots about you, what banks you have an account, what is your e-mail provider, what porn sites you like to visit and etc, basically is possible to know pretty much everything you do online. Another aspect is that, if your Carrier/ISP got pwned, you are in bad sheets, as the hacker may redirect legit traffic to a custom server, waiting to -eager- to receive your connection and fool you.
Our best bet is to be able to change, and possible setup our own DNS service if paranoid.
Now, we have on Android an option to ask the system to use a encrypted connection to reach a DNS server on the Internet. This feature is called "Private DNS". That would be a solution, if Google were actually *enforcing* the config. Even if I use an VPN, the Carrier is able to ask the system to add a *custom route* that will redirect the traffic going to the Carrier DNS server *out* of the VPN. And if you use a VPN connection and your carrier do not enforce a route to their DNS, you will not be able to use Google's Private DNS as it doesn't work while a VPN is connected.
If you ask me, this is pretty much BS. There is zero need to have a VPN to push a DNS server, but what really shook me is that Google pushed the Private DNS, over TLS and over HTTPS but that setting is not global in the system. What the actual ****?!
The fact that I may need to root the device in order to control the DNS configuration is so bad.. I can't even express how I fell about that.
Any thoughts about the matter? Have you managed to control the DNS config without root and wifi tricks?
