Proxy app?

Does anyone know of an app that allows your phone to become a web proxy?
Let me explain my situation... I work for a corporation that filters all their internet connections through a web proxy, which sucks cuz I can't visit any of the fun sites... one way around this I've found was to use ICS on my phone but that interferes with the default gateway on the current network.
All traffic on the network by default goes to an internal gateway on the local intranet and it really needs to stay this way because there are too many work ip's and ports to be able to statically route all of them through a specific destination and leave the default gateway as the ICS 192.168.1.1.
I have been able to create static routes to specific ip addresses (like my home computer) which override the default gateway and use ICS instead.. this is great but obviously not that great for web browsing and masking my use on the internet... what I would like to be able to do is set the HTTP proxy to my phone and have it handle all of the redirection... that would allow me to have a single route in the routing tables but span out to wherever I want on the web...
Oh, and yes, I have thought of just setting up a proxy on my home comp and routing through the phone -> home comp -> back through phone but that obviously limits me to the upstream bandwidth of my home network... which isn't TERRIBLE, and is feasible but obviously if I could eliminate the extra jump it would be much much better.
I can handle the routing tables np, they're easy to add from command-line.. problem is I need some kind of a proxy application on the phone that will handle all of the HTTP calls... anyone know of an application such as this?
Thanks

Hm can't say I know of an app that does this... it is planned for one of the upcoming releases of WMWifiRouter but that's still a while away and may give you the gateway issue again.

Ya I did more googling and still can't find anything... I just setup dante server on my linux vm at home and got a good socks proxy going.. seems to be working very well.. my upstream on cable is 80k/sec so that's not too bad I guess.
I'll keep an eye on wmwifirouter release notes though thanks

Pornography blocking proxy

I know this may sound weird to some of you but I have been looking for a way to block pornography in windows mobile. The easiest way I could think to do this was to simply add a content filtering proxy to the data connection but I am having problems finding a proxy that will let me do that (without installation).
So I guess my questions are:
1. does anyone know of a content filtering proxy that will allow me to sign up and pay for an account to block pornography or do it for free?
OR
2. Does anyone have a program to install that will allow me to do this some other way?
Thanks for your help

How about Cilice?

not sure if its compatible with the cell phone, but have you tried to set your dns to opendns.com. I use them as my DNS provider at home (they are free) and you can control what is available...

What are you doing that makes you need a content filter?

I like the cilice idea - very humorous. But seriously, as blancmik points out I would recommend using opendns. It's free to setup. Usage depends on how you browse the Internet. If you're browsing via WiFi from home, then you can configure your router to use OpenDNS, and manage your settings from there. Most likely your IP won't change too frequently so you may get away without bothering over your dynamic IP address. But I'd also recommend using the OpenDNS Updater software on your home PC, along with the free service DNS-O-Matic. That way as your WAN IP changes from your service provider, you can still browse using your OpenDNS filtering.
But if you're using your device on your carriers data plan, then your IP could change more frequently. It's a little trickier because I'm not sure if a dynamic DNS updater application exists for Windows Mobile. So when your IP changes you'd have to either manually update your free OpenDNS account. Or update your DNS-O-Matic account. Doable, but it would be annoying.

If you are on T-mobile you can activate the WebGuard and that will filter all adult themed content. It is done server side before the data reaches your phone so that could be an option for you.

bypass school router blocks

hey, i used to have a way around the school router blocks but i cant seem to remember what it was for the life of me. What it consisted was of an .exe that installed some software that allowed me to browse freely. I vaguely remember that the software consisted of a icon on the taskbar that was kinda an earth with fire around it....maybe?
if you have any other good router/server bypasses then please let me know. .exe file executions are blocked everywhere except in the technology building at school. Preferably i would like to have something only requiring a flash drive or it can be done within IE or Chrome.

Do u mean that you are able to surf the internet but some website, like Facebook for example , are blocked?

yes exactly, often they have keywords that they block as well, (such as game, kill, black ops, etc). maybe a proxy would work? we used to have a couple good ones but they would eventually block it.

To do this would require some form of exe to use a proxy via a specially setup browser, or admin rights to set the system proxy.
You will find that your IT admins will block the proxies you use (I have to block proxies at my work network when we detect them).
If implemented properly (any good professional IT admin should be able to do it right), you will struggle to tunnel out using most systems.
You can't ssh forward if they block non-standard ports, or filter protocols. You can't use SOCKS proxies if they do the same. You can't use web proxies if they use smart URL filtering.
You can try web proxies, but it's an uphill battle. If you find a proxy that works, don't tell your friends, as that usage across multiple accounts flags the URL in some security systems (my users alert me to the latest proxy sites unwittingly )
Finally, you do realise you are probably breaking the acceptable use agreement? Isn't it better to do facebook etc out of school hours? Or use your phone? If you get good at evading, it is easy to remove internet access altogether from an account in most systems. Good luck in tunnelling out when you have zero internet access as your account is null routed
Summary? Try proxies, don't hold your breath, and do you really need to use facebook etc in school? Oh, and for goodness sake, don't run exes on school PCs... If they've not set them up right, you could infect the machines. They prevent EXE execution on most machines for good reason...

This is a REALLY good explanation Pulser, I always liked the way you answer to the people on XDA! (specially on the Hero thread )
By the way, why an .exe file would infect a machine? Do you mean any kind of .exe? Even from a well known company, who create safe and populars software?
I used to run, without tell anyone, firefox portable in my office to bypass firewall restrictions, is that dangerous as well?

Considering you are at school, you will lack a lot of needed rights to edit certain things. I would know, I had to get around blocks on both Windows and Mac computers my freshman year.
I would advise you use the software, Your Freedom, it's free, but requires an account, you will also need to use a browser such as Firefox, and edit the settings to use the correct IP and Port as a proxy.
It also works on both Mac's and PC's. There is another software that I had used, strictly for windows PC's, but I can't recall the name of it.
Edit: I also ran the software from my flash drive..

i have special access to .exe and Command prompt just because of the position i am in as a student (several Technical courses). I can execute files on my computer and i have Chrome Installed. Does that help?

What I did was to download firefox portable, you can google it (and if you want you can copy it to an USB drive).
If you go to firefox networking setting, you can try to change the options in advanced with "no proxy" or as wisefire said just write an IP proxy address with the correct port, you should be able to visit any website.
At least this was working flawlessy for me..

Only a malicious exe would cause trouble...
But on a shared school network, who knows what the user before you used...
That's why I use disk freezing software on systems I run, and a forced reboot between logins, to give you a clean environment.
But while employees run portable firefox, what if they were to use it on another pc, and it had a virus, which infected the exe?
TBH, flash drives shouldn't be used in work environments, that were used outwith that environment... But that's not realistic in a school.

That would work unless they filter out proxy traffic (you can often detect SOCKS proxies and other ones that are working using this method, or even block common ports like 8080)

Back in high school we used Ultrasurf and GPass. I liked GPass because it was really easy to hide from the taskbar and notification area.

haha, All of my schools have used disk freezing software. I thought about putting it on my parent's computer so I don't have to work on it anymore.
Eventhough I generally don't work on it anymore and just have them call someone to work on it for them. hahah.

Back in my days in high school we just got the many different IT and Librarian passwords/usernames and some teacher's passwords aswell. Then we'd log in to them and download Kazaa (yeah, it was that long ago lol), and downloaded like a gig or two of old NES, SNES, SEGA, Etc roms and started passing them around to everyone. haha.
It got so bad that the school threatened expulsion for everyone that had the games on their user accounts because it was overloading their network and storage space.
For a while they were just searching for the rom's extensions and you could just go and change them to a .txt and then change them back when you wanted to play them, but then they finally realized that the gig of space the roms took up were about 4 times the size of the data we were allowed to have and they could just sort the usernames by the usage of storage space.
The teacher's ones were fun to have though... it allowed you change some grades here and there...especially with my method of madness which I will not describe here. lol

Hmmm... It's possible. If they use deep packet filtering it may be hard. But anything is possible...
I won't go into details, of getting round things, as it is my job to stop people getting round them, and I know a load of tricks, but look at the protocols in use in surfing - you need LDAP/AD to log into windows domain. Then you use DNS to resolve an IP (perhaps via a corporate web proxy). Then HTTP/HTTPS to access the page.
Now think what tools the domain admins might use to administer their network - RDP? SSH? Web services on high ports?
I think I've gone into enough detail for now... I can tunnel out almost any network these days, but I don't think it is sensible, wise, nor ethical to divulge this sort of thing.

if not previously mentioned, you're looking for "Tor" which comes in both installable packages or portable exe files that can be run off flash drives and includes a custom made 'Mozilla Firefox' which comes preloaded with Tor and does not save any browsing information on your client machine, thus this program is completely anon when ran from a flash drive.

not if he is on a school network, he would have to physically run kon-boot on the server itself which defeats the purpose because the server would already be logged in as an admin of some kind.

[HOWTO] Use VPN with your Android & Home Router

This is a simple tutorial to allow you to connect to the internet using VPN through your home router.
:NOTE: At present, the steps here are sparse. They assume some technical capability to set things up yourself, this is just kindof a guide as to WHAT you'll need to setup.
Why, you ask? Security. Using a VPN will essentially encrypt your communications though a tunnel back to your home computer. Not going into all that here, basically a simple guide. I assume we're all smart here, so the basics.
Prerequisites
1. DD-WRT V24 Capable router. If you don't have this, then you will need to instead use a different method involving installing software on your PC that I won't cover here. The advantage of the DD-WRT router is ease of setup on the router, and not having to have your computer turned on.
2) Capable Android Phone & Provider. I can't troubleshoot your ROM or provider. Some Android Roms don't support VPN, and it's broken in some. Some providers apparently block it. If your Rom is good and your provider doesn't block it, you're golden. In some cases (such as on the G2X) custom kernels (such as Faux123's) will add the necessary TUN support. Or you may need to add a TUN.KO file if it doesn't... again, device specific, refer to appropriate device forums.
3) If you don't have a static IP (I assume you don't) you'll need a dynamic DNS provider compatible with DD-WRT. I prefer freedns.afraid.org, but you can use any o these: dyndns.org, zoneedit.com, No-Ip.com, 3322.org, easydns.com tzo.com or dynsip.org.
Got all that? Great!
Okay, here's the fun bit.
STEP 1
First, you need to hack your router. It's a LOT like rooting your Android phone. How to do it is BEYOND the scope of what I can write here, but what you need to do is visit http://www.dd-wrt.com and have a look around. Or, you can actually purchase routers with DD-WRT pre-installed. Basically you have to flash a custom ROM onto your router. It needs to support VPN, and be at least version "v24 SP1". Older versions may have a DIFFERENT VPN setup that's not as easy. Don't say I didn't warn you. I flashed the full-featured VOIP version to my router, a Buffalo WHR-G54S.
Unlocking (if necessary) and flashing your router with DD-WRT is a topic as broad as rooting/flashing Android - so I can't help you here. But once it is done, you are ready for....
STEP 2
Setup your dynamic DNS provider. I used http://freedns.afraid.org/ to do this. Basically you go to the site and sign up for the free "subdomain" services. You can pick a name that will be on a number of different domains, such as "us.to", where you could maybe pick something like "kick.us.to" if it isn't taken yet. All that matters is you remember the name.
Next, in DD-WRT, go to the Setup->DDNS tab and select the proper DDNS service and enter the information it asks for -- your service used, username, password and hostname usually. You can usually leave update interval at the default, and normally you don't need to use external IP check.
NOTE: You need to make sure you are not "Double NAT-ed".. this means two routers stacked is a nono. If you have a router connected to a cable/dsl router (instead of a cable/dsl modem), then it needs to be set to BRIDGE mode. Again.. complicated and really a topic best dealt with on its own.
Once you've setup your Dynamic DNS, you're well on your way. You can actually use that hostname for all sorts of things, such as always being able to get Audiogalaxy to connect to the right host without having to know a numeric IP that could change.
STEP 3
You're on a roll... Now, time to setup the VPN in the router. This is done under the Services->VPN tab. If that tab doesn't exist, then you got the wrong version of DD-WRT and need to go back to Step 1.
Enable PPTP Server, Broadcast Support, MPPE Encryption. Under Server IP enter your ROUTER's IP address (usually 192.168.1.1, or whatever you use to connect to your router). Under Client IP's, enter the range of clients on your local network in the format: 192.168.1.100-149 (where 100-149 represents possible IP addresses I've set in DD-WRT for my LAN)... this doesn't seem as important since we'll be connecting from outside.. Just do it.
Under CHAP-Secrets enter in your preferred username and password in the format:
username * password *
that is, the username, a space, *, a space, the password, a space and then *
Save and apply settings. (You need to click both SAVE and APPLY, DD-WRT is weird like this)
STEP 4
Back to Android! Yay! This part of the procedure may vary by phone, but this is how it is on my Gingerbread T-Mobile G2X with faux123's kernel.
Goto Settings->Wireless & Networks->VPN Settings->Add VPN->Add PPTP VPN
VPN Name=whatever you want
VPN server= your dynamic IP name you selected in Step 2
Enable encryption = Yes
now, hit Menu->Save
You should now see your VPN listed under VPNs. Click on it, and select CONNECT. Type in your username and password you selected at the end of Step 3.
It should connect. CONGRATULATIONS!
You should also have a notification in your taskbar that will now let you disconnect from the VPN.
STEP 5
Enjoy! .. wait, what? It didn't work? It did for me!!!
I guess.... ask questions here, or if it appears to be a phone issue, ask in your device's appropriate forum (and link to this thread so people know what guide you're following)
And, if anybody reading this is a better expert in setting this stuff up than I am, feel free to critique/laugh/criticize/constructively comment on this little howto and I'll correct anything I Rick Perry'd.

I would have, but like I said, that's a topic as big as phone hacking itself. Every model of router is going to be different! There may be models that support VPN in the router as well without DD-WRT, but I'm not familiar with that setup.
DD-WRT's website has a pretty huge forum on what routers are compatible and how to set it all up.

The optimal speed can be achieved by the compression of traffic and by minimizing server loads. Web acceleration will enable you bring about a drastic improvement in the web page response time. This kind of acceleration usually come in lesser costs and offers the best web application performance.

Nice TUT, VPN working

Thanks. I mostly appreciated the idea of using afraid.org.
For some reason, Dyndns and no-ip wouldn't work with ICS as client.

thanks for this tut, keep it up

nice.. thanks for sharing

The cool thing is, once you start hacking your router, you open up all sorts of fun. Like using a virtual wireless network to bridge the open wifi network that gets 1 bar of signal in one little corner of your apartment to be a full strength WPA protected network with your own SSID and subnet that all of your devices can use ... not like I would do such a thing. Now, I *am* a bit afraid to try to set up a VPN on the bridged virtual network..... that could get complicated.

Will this also work with OpenDNS?
Already running DDWRT v24 on WRT600N, and trying to figure this VPN stuff to connect my Atrix running CM10. Thanks for any help

Any service which gives you a stable hostname to the outside network should work.

If you have a higher end router that supports the mega builds (8MB flash), then you can opt for OpenVPN which is more secure than PPTP. Setup is more complicated though.

Still using a (now antiquated) Buffalo WHR-G54S which has 4MB flash and 16MB Ram... so while it has a lot of features, OpenVPN is lacking... so I can't test that method personally.
This Buffalo is the best router I've ever owned, though. I still can do without gigabit or N networking, so I'm not upgrading. I went through 5 or 6 bad routers (even a Linksys WRT-54G that crashed constantly) before I got this one.

Thanks for all the info here. I've deleted the post because I think my issue is with something else.
Thanks..

Very easy guide! Thanks!

nice cool...

bumpin this because i have a question regarding this, i just set this up and it works great
there are mainly two types of auth vpn servers use, certificate authentication and username/password
i tried to set up password one, and you still need the server public certificate along with username/password, but you don't need client public and private keys unlike with cert auth.
now, i placed the server key, ca.crt, on my internal storage and together with username/password, works great, my concern is security of this file. this file needs to be accessible right, so you can't put it in /etc or /system, having it in internal storage, any app with storage permission can read it... isn't this a security risk? how is this solved? where do i put the file?
thanks
edit: also, how do i *prevent* network traffic without vpn? i know there is always on option and start on boot, but i did, and when the boot finnishes there is a brief moment when the phone connects on mobile network just before initializing vpn and in that brief moment android probably sends all sorts of passwords and data through the network ... how do i delay this until vpn is initialized?

Bypassing web filters on android.

Hello all! I hope I'm posting this in the correct place. Anyway I'm here to ask if anyone knows how to bypass web filters on android? At my school McAfee filters any inappropriate websites, this includes forums, blogs, and things of that nature. I tried using Orbot but I'm stuck setting it up. Any help will be appreciated.

You can use tunnelguru.com to browse everywhere you want, if the website is allowed within the mcaffee policy

Oh cool, I'll give that a try. Thanks for your response!

The website was blocked :/ any other suggestions?

Do you want something that is free?
You could also consider setting up a tunnel from your home, but it's somewhat complicated.

Another option could be a VPN service. I've used VPNBook.com before with satisfactory results, and it should work for you too as long as the firewall doesn't block the ports that the VPN uses. I remember back in my last couple years of high school, the web filters were starting to get ridiculously strict, VPN is the only way to use legitimate websites sometimes.
