Guide - ALL PORTS opened through carrier proxy 3G/HSDPA

Notice - This topic is for the very advanced computer users.
I will need help from WM6 developers and SUPER advanced users for a variant of this. Please go to the COMPLETE bottom to read what I need for help.
What is it for? : Gain full access to TCP ports while using carrier's WAP/GPRS/HTTP proxy. Access IMAP/POP3/Internet Radio/Streaming TV/Skype while still using your carrier's cheap/free GPRS APN.
(currently only works on tethered, but I am working on making it work directly from the phone, I need help from those in the know-how)
Summary: The PC is tethered to the phone for GPRS/3G internet. PuTTY client connects to a SSH server THROUGH the carrier's proxy and opens up a SSH tunnel with dynamic forwarding on port 1080.
What you need :
- PC with Windows or Linux
- PuTTY http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html
- A simple SSH server directly connected to the internet (could be a modified Linksys WRT54G/GS/GL router with OpenWRT, no need for a PC)
optional - ProxyCap or SocksCap (commercial, look on bittorrent). They force softwares that required DIRECT internet acess to work with this guide
Settings:
1- Your SSH server needs to listen to port 443
2- In Windows go to Control Panel / Internet Options / Connections / LAN Settings / Proxy Server /
-Check the box "Use a Proxy Server for your LAN"
-Click advanced under SOCKS: , write: localhost" with port: 1080
3- In PuTTY
-Session TAB
Hostname = IPaddressOfYourSSHServer
port = 443
-Connection / Proxy
Proxy Type = HTTP
Proxy hostname = YourCarrierProxyAddress
Port = 80 or 8080 (whatever your carrier tells you to put)
-Connection / SSH / Tunnels
At the bottom, select Dynamic & IPv4
Source port = 1080
Click ADD
You should see "4D1080" appear in the white box under "forwarded ports"
-Session
Type any name you want under Saved Sessions
Click "Save" so that anytime you reload Putty, you click ony your sessions and load to restore all the above settings.
Final Step
- Disconnect your PC from any internet access
- Connect your PC to your phone's GPRS/3G internet
- In Putty, load the session and click on OPEN (This should open up a black window with no text)
- Wait a few seconds, you should see a new window asking you if you accept a new KEY for the new host you are connecting to. Click YES
NOTE: this will only happen the first time you connect to the SSH server through GPRS. It will never appear again
- You'll be asked to enter your username and password (those are the ones from your SSH server). You'll then gain SSH terminal access to your SSH server.
- type and enter "top" in your SSH terminal
WHY? : Your carrier's PROXY closes any IDLE connections. "top" makes the SSH server send you the server status every few seconds, keeping the connection active.
- Open internet explorer and see if you can load web pages.
- Congrats, you got non-carrier-proxied non-carrier-cached internet access.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem: PuTTY times out when I open my session
Diagnostic: PuTTY cant connect to your SSH server, this could be due to :
- Check if you got the right SSH server IP address
- SSH Server does not listen to TCP port 443
- SSH Server is behind a firewall that blocks port 443
- Your ISP may block port 443 (mine blocks port 80)
- Your wireless carrier may not allow SSL connections, test by loading a HTTPS web page while using their HTTP proxy (find a web page such as ebay, paypal, or whatever that requires an encrypted login, see if HTTPS is in the address bar). You're screwed if its blocked
- Your wireless carrier's proxy might not be on port 80/8080, please check
- Double check your Putty settings for your session.
Problem: PuTTY says "connection not allowed" "permission denied" or something
Diagnostic - Your wireless carrier probably does not allow SSL on 443, or scans your packets to see if it is TRUELY SSL. You're screwed in that case.
Problem: When I type my username and password, I get denied
Diagnostic: you don't know your OWN SSH server's access information, moron
Problem: Im connected to my SSH server, but IE won't load pages
Diagnostic: Either you forgot to set the dynamic port forwarding (review step 3 in settings) or you didn't set the proxy settings in IE (review step 2)
Please make sure you got NO other proxies entered other than in the SOCKS section of IE
WHAT I NEED FOR HELP
As you can see, this is only for using GPRS/3G on a PC/Laptop
Im very close to getting this to work directly on the phone.
PocketPutty is a conversion of PuTTY for WM5/6
http://www.pocketputty.net/
There is no Proxy tab in PocketPutty, but go in the registry
HKEY_current_user/Software/SimonTatham/Putty/Sessions/YourSessionName
This is IDENTICAL to what you'll find on your windows PC if you create a session. Create the proper session on your PC and copy the registry entries onto your phone's registry.
I got it to connect to my SSH server the same way you do on a PC, however, I can't get Pocket IE or any other software to use localhost:1080 socks proxy.
I've tried the obvious "proxy settings" in the connections manager, but IE still tries to connect directly unless I specify a HTTP proxy. Putty cannot do HTTP proxy so I can't just open up a second dynamic port on 80.
I tried in the registry to manually enter data. I noticed that even if you got NO proxy settings, you still got two proxy entries in the registry
HTTP , which uses "new-inet" on 1118
null-corp, which uses "new-corp" on 1118
I've made some tests and come to the conclusion that IE will only listen to the HTTP proxy entry in the registry. However, it will not use it if the "type" is set to "0". Setting it to "4" (SOCKS) gives me an error that IE cannot use my GPRS connection.
Im at loss here since im not a programmer or anything. Im wondering if any programmer/developper/professionals knew anything on the matter. It's only a matter of dynamic forwarding. I know PocketPutty can do it.

I was wondering if this was possible myself... I run a linux server at home and when I am at school/work/etc. I like to use my server as a socks proxy (using the method you stated) in order to get around those pesky firewalls and content filters. I've found that in general I like to tunnel everything through my home ISP's connection. It just 'feels' more secure, albeit a lot slower due to roadrunner's poor upstream bandwidth.
Pocket IE apparently did leave out the SOCKS proxy feature, and I don't know if it's even possible to tunnel through SOCKS on a WinMo phone.
This ancient guide from 1999 says that SOCKS is not implemented on WinCE, but surely this is outdated and useless information, right?
So I ask: Does anyone out there know how to use a SOCKS proxy on a PocketPC?

I don't know how much this will help you, I'm not nearly as advanced, but I saw the word SOCKS and a bell rang. Under Settings > Connections > Connections, when you setup or edit the proxy server, the SOCKS option is at the bottom. I always manually put in the AT&T proxy settings when I need to so it sounded familiar. Hope that helps.

Hey alkizmo !
I think that your idea is not really good, because there is an easier solution, with OpenVPN. This vpn allows you to do HTTP encapsulation, like PuTTY ...
And OpenVPN server/client is faster to install.

A VPN connection cannot be initiated through a proxy where all ports are blocked except 8080/80/443
VPN is not the solution to proxy bypass.
Then again, go ahead, try to prove me wrong and you'd have found a much simpler solution.
oh and this thread is outdated, I did finalize this project and have it working now.

Ok, i know your solution work, but three things :
1. Mine too (sorry, I bypass proxy through vpn)
2. Mine is easier ... that's all !
3. http://ovpnppc.ziggurat29.com/ovpnppc-main.htm

Personaly, I think the problem inlies with the way Pocket PC use proxys. If there was a way to make the Phone use the same proxy for everything it would work. but from what I can tell, the phone choses the right proxy for the right thing. by looking at the proxy settings it has a for Http wap, etc.
Well, the other programs don't work with these proxies, as far as I can tell. The best wayt, IMHO, would be to make a program that routes all connections to one proxy, and maybe then the prxys would work correctly.

excellent.
As of this writing, the link is still alive. And the latest release of openvpn ppc is 2.1 released December 10/2009. Or, about a month ago.

I recently upgraded the rom to WM6 on my universal but in doing so i've lost the connection settings enabling me to connect to the internet via my 02 (uk) provider.
Can anyone point me in the right direction for getting them back.

aRTE YOU ON CONTRACT OR PAY AS YOU GO?

Wright me in to private, or i might miss you reply...

Hopefully it helps!!!!

Remote Desktop

When I use the "service of remote terminal" in my P3600 and I write the IP address of the remote Pc followed by ":" and the port number of the remote router (I've changed the predefined 3389 in my router configuration) I get an error message: "the specifyed name server is not valid". This is strange, because the SAME string used on PC desktop allows the connection. I thought it could probably be because of the port number: if I use only the IP address I don't have any message, but I can't connect to the remote PC because I didn't specify the port number... How can I force the program to use the new port and not the predefined one?

Gooer Remote Desktop Service
You can have a try on Gooer Remote Desktop Service. I am using it and it works fine.

Okay for the login: login.webmessenger.com
Use this for proxy: 216.155.165.50
Port: 8080
And for connection type try using either one to see which ever works for you

Evo Flashed to Revol (mms works but internet still doesnt)

So i just bought an Evo and got it flashed to Revol the other day and for days I have been scavenger hunting google trying to find anyway I can get the internet working. As of right now I just got the MMS to work and now I'm just trying to get the internet to work. On my phone I got it to show as 3g and it shows as if the internet is working but when i go to open the browser or market it never loads even after I turn the web off then back on, someone please help me with this I think i might need the revol dsa server url, rtsp proxy port and address, and http pd proxy port and address. So if someone could kindly provide me with the settings for the evo to get the web working it would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

These are the settings i have

anybody have revol that can help me with this, please?

anyone able to help a bit? i almost have the internet working just need a few revol settings

This may sound funny..sometimes a while back..Internet also was not working for me( on cricket) ...the browsers just did not work...except Opera did...It has a different engine to surf..and until I fixed the issue..I had to use opera but not stock or dolphin..go figure...fix for me was removing dm.apk...then resetting and more consistent Internet. This may or may not be a temp patch job

ok so if i plugged it in via usb i should be able to remove the dm.apk or should i just do it from the phone? i was thinking if i install a custom rom it might fix this issue too

sorry about that last post, i was logged into my brothers account and didnt even notice until i read the post but if i plugged it in via usb i should be able to remove the dm.apk or should i just do it from the phone? i was thinking if i install a custom rom it might fix this issue too

Also, i figure the internet must be somewhat close to working since i can use MMS and when i turn off the mobile network the MMS stops working, so i'm also figuring that i need the DSA Server URL to revol but I'm not sure what that is since i can't find it anywhere i search for it

how did you get the mms to work? can you tell me the settings etc you have for it all?

Did you ultimately get Revol web working on EVO 4G?
Nadi- I am in the same situation you describe back in July. Did you finally figure it out and if so, what was the solution?
Thanks!

Try this?

Use that for full text call mms 3g.
Use straight talks prls in the flashing kit for better 3g.
Revols ha is secret and aaa is revolwireless
Send both in hex using dfs tools.
Make sure that send the spc and password for Samsung.
Give me thanks
