[Q] Per app different proxy/VPN - Networking

Is there a solution for having a different VPN or proxy for different app? For example app 1 would use British proxy or VPN and app 2 would use German?

Thanks for the reply. Yeah that could have worked. Could there be any other solutions to this, since normally if you set proxy or VPN you will set to whole device. Can't access my local Web streaming content if I change it to British etc.

As far as I know, that's the only solution for what you are seeking. Another option might be to find a proxy app that supports an on the fly on/off widget. I've looked around before too, for a bit, I don't think there is a lot of development for this type of thing because android software is so heavily dependent on ad revenue. Not only that, I think using a proxy renders ad blockers useless. I think its built into android to make this a difficult thing. good luck

hey bro, it just occurred to me that you might be able to use the Orbot app for that

some proxy software can set what apps use vpn and others not use vpn.

I found this app Drony - Google Play
It needs no root and seems to work fine.

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...
Sent from my A101IT using Tapatalk
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!! :-(
Ray
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

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.

So how do we do Adblocking now that Adhell and SABS are dead?

Hi,
sorry if this was asked before - but now Adhell is dead, SABS is DMCA'd - what can we do for Adblocking now, despite using the Samsung browser with Plugins?
Any other way without root/hosts file? Thanks.

SABS still works fine even though it won't be getting updated anymore. I'm currently still using it.

Okay yeah, but didn't see any download links since the thread was edited. I'll try to find it somewhere else
Or you could run pihole on raspberry for network wide adblocking rather than individual devices. Plus you can run openvpn so you can browse safely through your home network when off site.

go to google play look for VPN HOSTS... its an app that creates a vpn on your phone and uses the hosts file you provide and blocks ads just fine.. been using this since it was created and it works great.. no root needed, its a virtual hosts file on my phone.. free download from git hub, its in the description on google play. its free and simple...
use this. follow the adb directions and itll work. its what im using

Yeah wait for the next Knox renewal. You can't build new Adhell packages anymore. Of course you could use your old apk and edit it yourself I guess.

The thing that frustrates me with Disconnect Pro is that there's no custom list functionality. Otherwise it would be probably the best available.
+1 for Raspberry Pi and the use OpenVPN to tunnel DNS whilst not at home.
Here is the apk for SABS for those that want to set it up
Blokada (www.blokada.org) works really well.
It is free and open source and works across all apps (not only the browser)!
It doesn't require root, supports both wifi and mobile networks, and is perfectly safe and simple to use.
You can make exceptions for certain apps and hosts and it is using Black- and Whitelists.
Just make sure the app gets not killed by battery optimization and things like that (there is a setting to ensure it keeps running - showing a VPN symbol in the status bar).
Best regards
Amber

kinda like what I said about VPN Hosts..... which is free ... you provide the hosts file and you flip a virtual switch to turn in on or off anytime.. puts the virtual private network icon up in the top bar so you know its on ... and its free too ... I like simple and it is...
There you go. there is a new one. its called NotSABS. Its basically the same as SABS but uts been update it from a different dev. Ive been using it for weeks now without having a problem. :good:

How to use the new VPN thing lol

So, I use Nord VPN premium. How can I use it in the android settings instead of the app?
In the WiFi settings you have a VPN section, set noordvpn as default and always on.

Is it fast? because I've tried free app versions of VPN and whenever I try to watch or download something it's to slow
I use NordVPN as well. Speeds are usually very good. Only faster one I've used is IPVanish, but it's based in the US and doesn't have access to things like Netflix. But speed for that one are off the charts if you just want a VPN service that's rapid.
I been using TorGuard for almost 2years now and it works great even speeds for me when I am on 4G LTE so I don't complain.
I even set up my OnePlus 6T to block connections without VPN because I do not want it online without being connected to a vpn.
I've used Adguard for years, never had a problem.

That app if for connecting to the Tor Network. Definitely not the same as a VPN. Please do your research before recommending things like Tor to people as it has its own security considerations to deal with.
