Proxy Setting for Archos 101

Guys! I just like to ask if anyone know a working proxy setting app for Archos 101. Just got my archos but unable to use my internet in the office since we are using proxy server in our internet.
Hope anyone ca help me out. Thaks in advance!

Anyone? I really need to use proxy...

I know I have seen the option I am just exploring to see if I can figure it out. As far as I can tell you have to get an app for it.

android doesn't support wifi proxies on its own (what a shame)!
Only possible solution would be this app http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=766569 . But for that you need root & iptables support.
Both isn't available for the 101. Even with the SDE version (the one you loose guarantee with) i believe there is no iptables support.
I tried it with the old 2.1 firmware and zroot and it said "iptables missing"!
only thing left is to use opera mini which finds the proxy automatically (or opera mobile, where you can manually insert a proxy, type "opera:config" in the address bar.

Oh... hope archos can address this proxy issue. I believe Galaxy S is capable in setting a proxy in their wireless connection. Both A101IT and Galaxy S use froyo right?
If anyone know a working proxy app please share it with us. That. Would really be a great help.
Thank again!

IPTables support is planned for a future release of $aur0n's rooted android release.
See here for more info.

There is a Proxy Menu on Android.
Use "Any Cut" from the market and create a shortcut to that function.

did you get that successfully working ?
i know its generally possible to have wifi proxies on android (hence the possible shortcut - e.g. with samsung devices), but you need to have kernels that support that function and i don't know if the archos does.

i have already tried the "Anycut" method but it doesn't work. I've successfully installed Firefox with proxy add ons. its working but the problem is it often unresponsive. Sometimes i'm forced to reboot my archos.
Hope gingerbread or honeycomb have the proxy supports when it becomes available to A101IT.

Hi
i have mailed Archos Support with this question and their short answer was:
The device does not support this.
Great!! :-(

Well based on my research. Android as of today does not really have proxy support. But it can be enabled if we root our system. Hopefully someone can do a full root of the archos 101IT.
Maybe someone already did? can u share it with us...

There is an app in the Android Market called "Proxy Settings" that may help. I have not taken a close look at it or tried to configure it yet, so I honestly don't know for sure, but it is worth a try.

It
1) Has a fonts problem, all inscriptions are tiny. It seems the developer used fixed font size that is normally viewed on the phone but can't be scaled ant totally unreadable on 10".
2) Doesn't help anyway.

read people !!!
even rooted, the 101 is missing the nessecary "ip tables" for the proxy settings tool!!

Yes we know that the ip tables are missing in the 101. That is why we need first to fully root the device then find a way to put in the ip table.
Other android device have it so it means it can be also done with our 101.
Things like this is why we have forums. For us to exchange ideas so we can help each other right?
Lets help each other shall we??? Not everyone here is an expert thats why we ask questions...

Well you don't have to be an ass about it.
I did state that I had not tested it. I was merely offering a potential option to try, not one I guaranteed would work.

archos 101 SW update 2.1.08
Archos has delivered a firmware update to 2.1.08 on Feb 16 2011.
It brings a new option "WLAN Proxy Settings". You can enter a proxy-host/IP and port, and check the "Enabled" checkbox.
Sadly it does not work for me, the checkbox is disabled when I select the option again to verify.
Goto Archos web site, choose support/downloads, then select your device and download the update file (82 MB).
the URL is update.archos.com,
path /8/gen8/gen8_2.1.08
filename firmware_archos_android_gen8.aos

Cisco vpn issue - still confusing

It's been quite a while since I bought my Galaxy Tab and I still can't figure out how to set a working VPN connection..! There are so many topics regarding this issue but I still find setting tun.ko, using get-a-robot-vpnc, etc. too much confusing. I wonder if there is some step-by-step tutorial for newbies out there...
Please advice,
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I couldn't find a tutorial either, and I had to figure it myself. So here is a little help, that might work.
- get a custom ROM (most come with kernels that have tun support
- get vpnc from the Market
- add vpnc widget to your. "Desktop"
- start vpnc from your application drawer and configure connection parameters
- go back to your desktop and click on the vpnc widget
That should be all, hovewer I found out that even though I was successfully connected to the corporate Von I still couldn't reach the servers.... and that is because my kernel doesn't support advanced IP routing.
So,people out there ..please let me know which kernel has advanced IP routing support. (Currently using speedmod.)

yes I have done that.
it does require permanent root but...
root
get tun.ko
Install busybox
get vpnc from mkt
that's really all I had to do.
if you search my posts I think I did a post with a little more detail.

Hi,
I've got Galaxy Tab and I have done the tun.ko and the busybox, and the insmod, and link for ifconfig and route..
my vpnc connects, says connected and stays connected.. But I cannot reach anything int he vpn network.. if I do "ip link show"... kind f like doing ifconfig -a on linux, I can see the tun interface, but it's down.
Is this really about advanced routing? If so, how come a lot of poeple on the forums are saying that they are succeeding in connecting fto CISCO vpn. It's worthless without being able to route there?!
Thanks,

Where do I have to put through tun.Ko?

root
get tun.ko
Install busybox
get vpnc from mkt and grant it root privileges
it's been working for me, the only thing is not working is the DNS. It seems when I am connected to the VPN I still can't access server by name, the only way is to use IP
if anyone solved that problem, please let me know

Kindle Fire VPN?

Hey guys,
Wondering if anyone been able to connect to a VPN service. I am in Canada and as you know, Amazon does not allow content to cross the border.
I have successfully used ibVPN (www.ibvpn.com) on my iPhone, iPad and PC but I cannot get the Kindle to connect for some reason.
When looking at 'All Applications' I see a VPN Services with Kindle in the icon. Can I assume that this is how Amazon is stopping me from connecting?
I have tried 1-VPN, 5-VPN, QuickVPN and PandaPow ... none work.
Anyone have any insight?
TIA

Generally this requires TUN/TAP support in kernel or the correct modules atleast...

Is it safe to assume that the Kindle does not have TUN/TAP support and thus cannot connect to VPN?

That's correct. At the moment we have no custom kernels that support TUN/TAP.

If you look under "all applications" there is something called VPN Service.
Amazon might have only removed the GUI to configure and connect VPN?

The way I see it, you will need a VPN enabled wireless router. It's well explained here:
Amazon Prime With Kindle Fire VPN
It's pretty well written, but if you have any question, ask here.

I'm using DroidVPN direct from the KF.

I enabled TUN/TAP support in my custom kernel a few releases ago. You could try that if you're willing to test. No guarantees it will work though since I don't really use VPN and just enabled it due to a request made.

I just realized I neglected to let you know... It works fine. I just connected to my OpenVPN server and traffic seems to pass fine. Thanks for enabling it. I'm on CM9, but it should work on even stock if you have the OpenVPN binary and busybox installed.

I used tun.ko installer from the market on my rooted KF, and it allowed me to use Cisco AnyConnect.

nighthawk VPN

i recently upgraded my router to a netgear nighthawk, only to find out openvpn does not work with android.
I was using a netgear ddwrt before with pptp and it worked just fine... other than flashing ddwrt to my night hawk is there a way to make the openvpn work with stock firmware.??

OpenVPN
Hi,
Open VPN does work in Android but not with stock software. You have to use an app like OpenVPN for Android (search for it on the Google Play). I use it to connect home through Tomato firmware on a Netgear router. Works flawlessly. You have to notice that only TUN mode is working on Android.

Not sure what you're talking about "stock'"... but openVPN app does NOT work.
The open vpn on the nighthawk is TAP based, android only supports TUN. This is the whole purpose of my post. Perhaps i should have made that more clear. Any nighthawk owners want to chime in?

With "stock" I mean default Android VPN service.
It it possible to use TAP on Android but there is some (expert) work to do. It is not easy, at least I've tried several times on my SGSII with CM11 without success. The default on Android (and recommended for remote access) is TUN. With TAP routing is easier but it generates more traffic as it is a layer 2 protocol and all broadcast messages (such as ARP) will flow throug VPN.
Here in XDA you can find some info about configuring TAP. But there is not much threads because it is recommended to use TUN.
I'm using a NetGear WNR3500Lv2 router with TOMATO firmware, what is far better than NetGear firmware. You can try it. Search "Tomato by Shibby" on Google to see if you router is supported.
Regards

The comments for this Android app are saying that it works with the nighthawk.
I am a noob to this forum and cannot put in url's, but the name is 'OpenVPN Client'

Nighthawk VPN on Android
Yes, you can use the OpenVPN client to connect to a Netgear Nighthawk, but you have to use the paid version of the client. The free version does not support TAP. Use the Windows configuration files generated by the Nighthawk and copy them to your Android device. Then import them in to OpenVPN. I had seen somewhere that there is a parameter that should be changed, but without changing anything it mostly worked on my Galaxy S4 running Lollypop.
One thing I did notice is that I seem to be running in some kind of split tunnel mode where traffic for my home network works over the VPN, but anything for the Internet does not go through my home network. I'd like to figure that out so when I'm traveling, I know I'm secure through whatever open network I may be on.

PIA VPN working on Fire Stick with Alexa

Not sure if anyone knew but PIA (Private Internet Access) does work on the Fire Stick with Alexa running 5.2.4.0 (I'm not sure if it works on 5.2.2.0). I will say it runs slower then running it through my router by half. Now to get this puppy rooted P.S. I give up on trying to upload pics.

To be more precise you are saying that the PIA Android app works fine on a FireTV Stick 2. Which is to be expected since the FTVS2's hardware is close to being as powerful as a FireTV 1 Box.
It's good to have confirmation. :good:

Yes it works flawlessly....I bought this thing to toy around with. Now if we can get root on this it would be pretty awesome.

Is there any way to manage PIA on the stick or are you stuck with what is sets when you log in?

If I already have a VPN for my wifi, do I need a separate VPN for the Firestick?

You don't, you just need to connect to the Wifi that already has the VPN working. The PIA Android App is only for those that want to run a VPN on a per device bases or if you can not run the VPN thru our router or secondary router. A router run VPN is always recommend due to specs. But being able to run it a FireTV device itself is a good second choice.

That would work if I had the VPN in the router, but I just had it in my laptop.

Some are able to run a Wifi signal as a repeater on a laptop or desktop. But running the app on the device itself is much less complicated.
Are you running PIA on a FTVS1 or FTVS2. Spec wise I would only recommend running it on a FTV1, FTV2 or FTVS2 but I bet it runs ok on a FTVS1 although those are way slow. Guess having only used FTV1's for myself & programed FTVS1's for my F&F's have giving me a slow experience with FTVS1's. Messed with a couple of FVTS2's recently. And I still would prefer my FTV1's speed & controller wise. I hope the GUI update for FTV1's gets release soon.

I have the 2nd gen. FTVS2 amd Kodi Krypton 17. I've seen some saying PIA doesn't work well on 1st gen, saying it is on, but doesn't change the IP. IP Vanish is said to work good with gen 1. I just pushed the APK to the stick from my laptop with mimimal ADB and fastboot. Pushed mouse toggle also and everything works fine. Have you looked at Schism, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QiueM0jcL0k&t=603s

I mostly run/install FTG Builds (FireTVGuru Builds: http://firetvguru.net/) since those builds are the easiest builds to keep updated by folks that don't like to pay attention to things. But all of those are still Kodi v16.1 based.
I've seen the new Kodi v17-RC builds. I was gonna try Schim's first. Guess I got to get used to the new Kv17 layout. But got sidetracked by the SU /SDCard bug when updating my FTV1's....

Is it possible to have the PIA VPN enable automatically when Kodi is run but disable when you close out of the app? I was just curious since when I try to watch something on Amazon Prime it's blocked when the VPN is enabled.
I'm guessing probably not, just wondered.

With PIA you can set it for per app. You will need mouse toggle to reach the settings.

One other quick question. So I enabled it to use VPN in Kodi, but not use it in any other app. I still get a geographical error when trying to watch something regularly on Amazon prime. Do you happen to know if there another step I need to do in order to get it to work?
