Basically I need to know if the proxy settings in ICS support the use of "proxy scripts" or something of similar description.
I intend to get the Transformer Prime for use at university but really it's only useful to me if I can get the entire OS working online and not just the few apps that support proxy scripts (only found Opera to allow it so far) so I just want to know if that option is in the base OS this time around.
Thanks.

There is something called 'Install web scripts' under Accessibility, but I am not sure what it does. It asks 'Do you want apps to install scripts from Google that make their web content more accessible?'.
But I don't know what it does or why it is there.

Doesn't the config script mean it's an HTTP socket proxy? If so it can only work at the HTTP layer, which means you are pretty much limited to using browsers. An Android-wide setting would have to work at the TCP(UDP)/IP layer, which isn't concerned with this proxy.

I've just tried something. I don't need the script.
I can deselect the script and just enter a "Proxy Server" (makes more sense if you were looking at LAN settings in Windows) which just appears to be an IP/port.
Hi,
why does xdadevelopers not provide a TLS secured connection to the forums?

I enter login credentials and I will never enter them in a public network over an unsecure connection.

You're right to be concerned, sites that have a login should use https really, but it costs more.

What does it cost more? SSL certificates aren't really expensive. I bought one to secure all my services running on my root server.
BTW just securing the login doesn't prevent from session hijacking which every script kiddy out there can do using firesheep. I would like to see full encryption, not only for the login.

Hii Guys,,
am based in uae and the viper is blocked, am looking for a free vpn application that best suit the S3, any suggestion please? i need it badly.....
There is a VPN client built into the phone check if it works for you

Yes, but adding a VPN client forces additional security even when the VPN is not activated. I hate to key in a passcode every time I want to wake up my phone.. is there a play store alternative?

There are differencies between VPN app and VPN server.
What you're asking there is a VPN server, not a VPN app.
There are plenty of free VPN on the web, but they're, most of the tine, unsecured and bandwidth limited. Not a good idea in fact.
But, I don't have understand yet why would you want to use VPN. If a website is locked in your country, the most efficiency solution will be using a proxy. But if some udp/tcp are not available or restricted, there, the VPN could be usefull.
- VPN = creating a secure connexion between a point A and B using a dedicated udp/tcp port.
- Proxy = sending a tcp/udp request to a remote server, the server will do it for you and send the result back to you.
Please, be more accurate in what you're searching for

HS shield is itself a VPN, add a VPN inside another is a bas idea, at least if I understand what you said.
The devs have made a android version (here) but only for 2.0+ and is not available for ICS.
A way do it without an app could be to retrieve VPN settings from inside HS shield if you're using it on your computer.

Before trying to make OpenVPN work properly, do you have a fixed ip adress or a dynamic one ?
If you don't know, check your public adress before and after turning off/on your modem.
If you have a fixed one, just use your ip as VPN adress, set the port to 443 (for SSL encryption) and use the login you set in OpenVPN settings.
If you have a dynamic ip, you must use a dynamic DNS, such as DynDNS. This way you'll have an url adress (ex. hellow95.dyndns-server.com) that will always point to your ip.
There are many detailed tutorials on the web for this.
I'm a DynDNS client for about two years and I never been disapointed (I'm using it to link my dynamic ip that I can access my NAS everywhere), so you can go ahead without regrets.

.. OpenVPN is a little different to setup than pptp vpn... Did you succeed with OpenVPN thru android to a Synology box? Tutorial for that? Maybe?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
PPTP VPN is too unsecure by the way, try to stay away from this crap
Well, I've set mine a long time ago on my Debian (yes, I use a home-made NAS).
First, you have to install OpenVPN if you don't did yet.
If not ->
connect to your server via SSH and :
> ipkg update
> ipkg install openvpn

Then we create the init script vi /opt/etc/init.d/S20openvpn
#!/bin/sh
#
# Startup script for openvpn server
#
# Make sure IP forwarding is enabled
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
# Make device if not present (not devfs)
if ( [ ! -c /dev/net/tun ] ) then
# Make /dev/net directory if needed
if ( [ ! -d /dev/net ] ) then
mkdir -m 755 /dev/net
fi
mknod /dev/net/tun c 10 200
fi
# Make sure the tunnel driver is loaded
if ( !(lsmod | grep -q "^tun") ); then
insmod /lib/modules/tun.ko
fi
# If you want a standalone server (not xinetd), then comment out the return statement below
return 0
## This is for standalone servers only!!!!
# Kill old server if still there
if [ -n "`/opt/bin/pidof openvpn`" ]; then
/opt/bin/killall openvpn 2>/dev/null
fi
# Start the openvpn daemon - add as many daemons as you want
#/opt/sbin/openvpn --daemon --cd /opt/etc/openvpn --config openvpn.conf
/opt/sbin/openvpn --cd /opt/etc/openvpn --daemon --log-append /var/log/openvpn.log --config /opt/etc/openvpn/config/server.ovpn
# [EOF]

Now let's check if the module is loaded

By now OpenVPN should be good to go.
But before, we need to create en encryption key, you can follow the tuts here (it comes from Debian Wiki)
Then once your VPN server is set, just type the infos into Android and enjoy.
I use OpenVPN to manage throught SSH my NAS and access my Transmission server
P.S: the tuts is not from me, I pick it up from a french community nammed MyHost. But if you got some problems with it, don't hesitate to pm me.

Suggestions other than using blockada app.
adguard, adaway VPN mode or private DNS
I am using next DNS service. It is customizable, so you can turn on or off lists, add things to white list etc.

And how to use/enroll that?
Register on nextdns.io, than you can set up which lists you want to enable. In your profile you also get address to use in private DNS option on your phone.
If you use that option all your traffic goes through nextdns, so it blocks out ads and robots on websites, but also on installed apps.
There is one disadvantage - it is free only for limited number of queries - more than enough for me, but some really heavy users may not find it enough. Nevertheless it is so worth to try if it works for you. Even so I have my devices rooted I don't yous Adblock etc, preferring nextdns.
If I helped you, you can use my referral link do register: https://nextdns.io/?from=ydnp2mzn . It doesn't cost you anything
Oh wow, thanks! Will check it out
Why do all forget the most important thing about DNS/VPN? Privacy!
All your traffic is routed over a unknown server. You have no control over your data! If you want use such a service, use your own. If you have a good router at home, you should be able to run a VPN server on it. In combination with Pi Hole, you have your own private and ad free VPN.
Mobile -> VPN -> Home -> PiHole -> Net

I second this. I use my pi as a plex server and pihole dns server. I LOVE it. Never found myself freaking the **** out about dns requests until I started looking at traffic statistics
Adaway rooted works a treat...
