I've tried searching on how to do this but haven't found anything. I wanted to change the DNS servers that my phone uses for 3g/1x data. Maybe someone that is a little more knowledgeable with Android can help out. The closest thing I've found in trying to do this is in the /system/etc/ppp/ip-up file. It seems that this is what sets up the DNS servers and other items when you get a connection for 3g/1x. Could I just change the following lines and replace $DNS1 and $DNS2 with the servers I want to use?
Code:
NAME=${LINKNAME:-"$1"}
/system/bin/setprop "net.cdma.ppp.interface" "$NAME"
/system/bin/setprop "net.$NAME.dns1" "$DNS1"
/system/bin/setprop "net.$NAME.dns2" "$DNS2"
/system/bin/setprop "net.$NAME.local-ip" "$IPLOCAL"
/system/bin/setprop "net.$NAME.remote-ip" "$IPREMOTE"
Anyone have any ideas if this would work?

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
Is there a working solution for this? cos i've searched the forum and apparently there is none. Can't believe the latest HTC Hero, the best android phone HTC can offer currently, has no proxy setting on wifi. It's like a big joke to me. I wish I had researched before I bought it
anyway, I've tried the "any cut" to create a shortcut to proxy settings and set accordingly, doesn't work.
Please anyone if you have a working solution, please share it with us.
openvpn

thanks for you help.
but I dont think openvpn is the answer here...because in many places (my office for one) you can only access the web through a http proxy server. and htc hero doesn't allows that. not to mention the openvpn thing, which only works by connecting to a certain port which obviously is not allowed in such environment. openvpn can connect to a 443 port too but hey, we need to have a working http proxy first then we can connect using https, and the proxy server need to support https proxy...but that's not relevant here. so i cut the crap.
thanks anyway
any other solution to this android can't support proxy settings on wifi thing?
I don't know if this could work but try to mount the filesystem with write access through adb (I don't know how to do that), find one file that is used as a startup script (I don't know which one is it either) and place the following lines there:
Code:
export http_proxy=http://myproxy:port
export ftp_proxy=http://myproxy:port
Reboot the device, open a terminal (in the device) and type echo $http_proxy and see if outputs what is supposed to. If it does, maybe you're all set and you just need to test the web and see if it really works.
Sorry for not being able to help you with some of the steps but this is my basic linux knowledge kicking in, my android linux knowledge is below basic and I have no time to explore it further at the moment.
I'm curious about the results though .

Hello
I hope I'm posting this in correct area!
I have several WM devices (6.1 and 6.5, Professional and Standard - e.g. Touch 2, Snap, Tytn2), connecting to an exchange server for mail, calendar etc, and they also go through a proxy server for web access .
I want to find an easy way to change proxy server settings on them all without having to go in and manually change proxy server IP address and Port. I've done some searching on here and web in general, and subsequently messed around with creating a CAB file, and an XML provisioning file but neither worked (I found some provider specific proxy settings in registry but maybe these are red herring?)
Then I realised my creations would probably never work anyway because they're unsigned apps which aren't allowed on devices connecting to my exchange server!
Am I missing an obvious and much easier method? Any ideas on best way to approach this?
Thanks in advance

Very nice idea, but I don't know a solution.
Where are the IP-adresses stored?
If it works with registry settings, a cab file should be sufficent.
I'm trying to find a way to do this, but hopefully someone already has a solution.

Android, the lovely mess of bastard Linux that it is, is failing to resolve host names into IP addresses. I have tried editing dhcpcd.conf, using the prepend domain name server option. I have tried adding a line to resolve.conf (what the hell is with those funny 8.8 addresses - thanks Google). Both just screw with my wifi connection.
I haven't tried using a static IP setup on the phone yet. Am I to be looking for something in build.prop to change?
I hate the feeling when no one replies to a thread.... you guys know what I mean, right? Whatever, at least it's not mission critical, I can be the DNS server for android.
Hi guys,
I'm working on an app at the moment but I can't get it to work.
I am trying to load a webpage by its IP address, usually this will not work because the server doesn't know what site you want to access in the case of a shared hosting etc. So I am injecting the "host domain.com" header into the request. However the page will still not load.
Anyone got an idea of how I can do this. I know I can use the host file but I'm trying to achieve it without admin privileges. on the pc.
Using wireshark the only difference I found in the packet were GET string in the HTTP header so not sure if I'm missing something..
There is no way to help you if you don't provide any sort of source code or dump of the packages you're sending.
