I tether with t-mobile for xbox live and it works but certain things don't, like updating games due to what i assume are strict NAT settings on tmobile's end.
I was able to do this once when I used proxydroid but I can't replicate what I did. Does anyone know how to either use tor with tethering (says it supports it in the option but I can't get the check tor page to load properly on my pc) or how to use proxydroid? I enter in proxy information and it doesn't change a damn thing when I go to pages like whatsmyip.com
what am I doing wrong?
**edit** mods i guess i should have posted this somewhere else...anyone wanna help move it?

i have set up my dash so that i can connect to the internet and use internet explorer and check my email through the $5.99 T-Zones plan from info retrieved from http://dashapps.googlepages.com/ i would like to know how i would be able to make im clients such as webmessenger and octrotalk work on this connection made from that site without always using wi-fi. i downloaded google maps and it works off of my connection that i made from http://dashapps.googlepages.com/ juss fine and i did not even have to change anything in the google maps application.it worked off the made connection without any direction. i would like to kno how to do the following because i wanna use these applications even when i dont have wi-fi
it depends if the program you want to use can be set to the proxy created by the tweak you made, most likely yeah, give it a try, it wont hurt.
Hi guys,
as said, i try to use my TP2 as a router, via my T-mo connection. I have an unlimited dataplan, and flashed the EngeryROM from Warhawk i guess.
Here is my Problem:
I can't access certain sites while using my TP as a router, and what annoys me the most is, that i cant run icq or steam on my laptop, using the TP...
Altough, icq runs on my TP.
Is this a port problem, or is it because T-mo blocks it?
Or any other idea?
Any help would be appreciated
I can't imagine that they'd block it. I'm not entirely up to speed on using the phone as a router, is it possible that the ports are blocked? Does the phone have an interface you can connect to similar to that of a traditional router? (IE tether your phone to your computer, once connected run an ipconfig and then type the address of the default gateway into your browser and see if there's an interface?) I might be way off base with that, though.
As an aside - I'm not sure what T-mobile's deal is with "unlimited" data plans. If it's anything like AT&T then once you cross that 5GB line you'll probably be on watch (from what I've gathered online), so you might want to look into that if it is your intention to pull a lot of data downstream from the likes of steam.
not familiar with t-mobile's data connection/setup but maybe its a proxy issue? try disabling the proxy if there is one and see if that helps.
I am using Energy Rom on my Tilt2 but I am on ATT
I had exactly the same issue.
Basically I had to disable proxy (which is a trick to get it to stick)
and switch to a different APN
I know it may not help but the default AT&T apn is wap.cingular
I use isp.cingular which supports direct connection without a proxy.
I am not sure how TMO does it's connections, but this may point you in the correct direction.
I guess its the proxy, cause i definitely know, that it's not volume limited.
Can anyone link me a tutorial or describe me how i can change that proxy or whatever, cause i'm really a noob when it comes to this...
The TP2 is my first WinMo device, so i ain't that experienced yet...
If you start WiFi Router, is there a choice for the internet connection in the lower area? I remember that I had several preconfiguratet connections on my MDA V when I got it from T-mobile. Maybe you can choose another connection there and it works. Did EnergyROM automatically set up your connections after flashing? Maybe you try these settings:
Name (Profilname): T-Mobile Internet
APN (Zugangspunkt): internet.t-d1.de
Benutzername: internet
Password: t-d1
DNS-Adresse: 193.254.160.001
IP- / Proxy- / Gateway-Port: 9201
Verbindungssicherheit: aus
GPRS-Ablaufzeit 2 Minuten
hey, tried out your settings, they seem to work, but i still cant connect with steam and icq -.-
i can only select the t-mobile internet connection in the wifi-router.
aaaaand i cant find the field where to enter this gateway port stuff you wrote.
Hope this links hel you:

Nope, still not working. These tuts just show how to establish a connection, but i already got one. The problem is, that i can only access the internet via browser
No steam, icq, skype or else, which is pretty annoying, cause i don't want to pay an extra 25 euros for a surf stick by tmo...
On the original 2.1 you could connect a VPN and still surf the internet. Now with Froyo you can't. I've searched high and low for a setting in the GUI and on the file system and can't find anything that would allow me to turn off use of the VPN connection as the default gateway. Since many Market apps, in particular my Xtralogic RDP client, often check to make sure they are registered this new VPN "feature" renders all of these apps useless to those who use them through VPN tunnels.
Does anyone know where the settings for VPN connections are stored? Are they human readable? I did find one file in /system/etc/ppp that looks like a standard debian-like interface script, if-up-vpn, but it looks to be binary. However I am using an L2TP connection and can't find anything anywhere. Worst case, is there a way i modify the routing table on the fly? I'm used to UNIX-like manageability using the usual netstat/iptables/ifconfig kind of thing, but Android is far from what I'm used to and doesn't seem to be easily manhandled. Hopefully there is someone around here who knows how to Ginsu this back to normal. Thanks in advance!

Say I download an apk from market.
There are times that I don't want it to access Web (so as not to download any ads and get over my monthly cap). Still i want it to have access to my 192.168.x.x home network.
Is there any way to do this (access only certain IPs per apk)? I'm using Linux and I don't even know how to do it there. So I dont know what to look as to get some ideas.
Probably an ad blocker will take care of downloading banners and such. There might be some apps on the lines of Droid Wall which might allow you to filter traffic. I've never used it.
If you are trying to access your LAN I'm assuming you are using your wireless connection and you might be able to filter traffic from you AP if it has the proper tools and APs usually do.
First of all thanks for the reply.
Ok, an ad-free script could be possible but how can one find out what IPs are being used from a specific apk?
As far as I know there is no log that logs the sockets that are open or even better have been opened...
P.S.: I know my apk pid. The issue is to find out which IPs it uses...
Use terminal emulator to issue "netstat -a" command. I really think that DroidWall could help.
DroidWall cuts all connections (say all wiFi connections)!!! And I don't want that. I want my apk to be able to connect to my home network but cut off all other connections. But only for the specified apk.
netstat -a doesn't say which application uses which port.
Thanks for the ideas. I have already tried those. Feel free to tell other ideas as well though.
I want to prevent my carrier from knowing that I am using CM11's native Hotspot or Tethering features. I know that they can look at the TTL of packets or analyze the traffic (Windows Update, Steam) to detect this. I have a subscription to a VPN service, Private Internet Access, which has an app on Android. If I enable the VPN mode of this app, will all the Hotspot traffic be routed through it, completely invisible to the carrier?
Searching showed me some conflicting answers on this, with some people saying to run it on the tethered device, and others saying to run it on the phone. I am thinking running VPN on phone, as the packets should appear to originate from the phone, rather than something 1 hop behind it.

To the best of my knowledge, they could easily know that you are connecting to the VPN tunnel as it utilizes a certain ports. However if it's correctly set up and utilize a secure protocol, all your traffic will get through the VPN and your ISP won't be able to decipher your online activities and your connection type or make sense of your internet traffic.
In other words, you may be using the VPN to connect to websites A, B, and C and send all sorts of interesting information to those websites; or send email; or whatever. Your ISP can see none of that. All they can see is encrypted data that they can't decrypt. So they know you're using a VPN, but they don't know what you're using it for.
Hope it could help.
