Is it possible to use adb to control androids built in firewall on and data service end so that i can use vnc to remote access a PC that is using USB tethering as it's sole method of internet access?
Anyone know of an app that will let me do it?
She's on stock evo, but I can root if need be...
Hi, I have a female employee who because of budget is temporarily
using pdanet as her online internet method.
I normally trouble shoot by using vnc server on laptop and home pc
using realvnc on windows 7 and windows vista.
I can not access her laptop.
We are on sprint....
Thinking it might be a firewall issue, as she had installed it without
me (pdanet) I then setup up my windows vista home pro by:
1) Turning off laptop wireless card.
2) Connecting to internet and also starting smsagent on laptop
3) Verified internet access
4) Got ip address via ipchicken.com
5) Remoted into my office computer via laptop using pdanet using realvnc. Yes outgoing works which to me indicates that I am sending out on ports
6) copied ip address into my realvnc viewer and attempted to connect to laptop (as listed in step 2) yes I've done this before with other ip address and have completed 27 hops through 3 different continents and took back of the original computer, which gives you the infinity loop. So it’s not a realvnc issue.
7) Yes of course I rebooted and turned off firewall on laptop.....
8) To summarize I can initiate a realvnc session to a local time
warner and control that computer, I am however not able to initiate a
realvnc connection to a sprint session using outgoing time warner or
via pdanet to pdanet session using sprint...
8) Please READ ALOUD WHAT I HAVE DONE BEFORE YOU SEND A GENERIC EMAIL.
My question is does pdanet allow the routing of port numbers using
realvnc? Specifically port 5900 and 5800?
Is there a port that you would recommend for me to assign to have this work
I’m trying the java viewer but do not expect it to work either…
Answer so far from pdanet:
There is an automatic firewall on your phone and data service end. No incoming connections are allowed so no port forwarding support either.
My new question can I adb this portion and control it?

Hello everyone,
I am currently at work, and they have their always fun hitler-esque blocking procedures on certain websites that shouldn't be blocked. The place I work at has an open Wifi network available to customers that doesn't block anything. So my question is.. Is it possible for me to connect to the Wifi here at work and then tether that connection through USB to the desktop that I'm currently using?
Thanks!
Ricky
Yes..it is possible. But you will need to disconnect the lan cable before you tether and might need to restart the browser on your desktop.

Does your desktop have a wifi card?And you can use your phone as a wifi hotspot,if your rooted.
Will your company be able to tell if you were doing that from a company computer,don't they monitor the pc's,since they block websites from you?
All you have to do is turn on the wifi and connect the phone to the computer with a USB. Don't mount it as a disk drive. Now use a USB tether app from the market and bam!

not particularly but could be
anyways yes the evo way costs nothing but you could also maybe pick up a usb dongle? basically the same idea and doesnt tie up your phone just a thought
heh dongle
You can share the WiFi signal via USB. I have used PDANet before and it works fine, however, I have only used it with 3G. I am not sure if it will work with WiFi signal. Also, it entails having the PDANet software installed on the PC, which I am assuming is not a possibilty due to possible restrictions (seeing that youa re being restricted as it is). Doing a "usb tether" search on the market may provide other apps that may allow you to tether via USB without the need of having an application istalled on the PC as well.
This guide teaches you to reverse tether your Android phone via WiFi. That is, it allows you to use your Ethernet connection of PC on your Android phone. It is useful for those who do not have WiFi routers and data connection. So if you have unlimited data plan for your computer, why not share the connection with your phone?
Notice: Backup your phone if you need to, I must not be held responsible for any damage to your phone. The following procedure works perfectly on stock ROM. Moreover, I am not a developer of the files supplied, I just got the files from the internet.
Credits to the actual authors of these files (Yet unknown to me). I have only contributed by coming up with a proper procedure and configuration for this.
Requirements:
Rooted phone
WiFi enabled Laptop (e.g. Dell Inspiron 15 series)
Root Explorer OR any other application that allows you to access entire system and also copy paste system files.
View attachment wpa_supplicant.zip
Procedure:
Phone:
Download Wpa_supplicant.zip and extract "wpa_supplicant" from it, save it on your SD card.
Open Root Explorer, and grant it superuser access when asked for.
Navigate to system -> bin and long press on wpa_supplicant; Select copy, and paste the file into any folder on your SD card.
Now navigate to the file you downloaded, copy it in same way, and paste it back to system -> bin. Note, you might need to mount the system as R/W instead of R/O by pressing a button on the top just before pasting the file.
Reboot.
Ubuntu (Must work for other Linux Distros too):
Open Network Connections
Goto Wireless tab, select add, and set the following:
SSID: <Any_name_you_like>
Mode: Ad hoc
Leave other things unchanged, and go to Ipv4 settings tab
Set method to Shared to other computers
Go to Wireless security tab and set Security to WEP 40/128 bit key and set key to a numeric password (or hexadecimal one).
Check the connect automatically box on top of the tabs and press Save.
Your Android phone must now detect this network, and you can establish the connection by using your security key.
Windows XP, Vista, 7
Download and Install Connectify from www . connectify.me/download-lite/
Start Connectify Hotspot by giving a name and password to your hotspot and selecting the Ethernet connection to share. Make sure the security type is WEP or Open.
Disable your firewall (Simply adding it to exceptions doesn't work for AVG at least)
Now your phone should be able to see the hotspot and establish the connection using the password set.
Known Issues:
Random disconnections (Very less frequency)
Disconnections due to screen lock / sleep on laptop
Enjoy, and hit thanks if it worked!

Well, I tried to search for similar posts, found none, and so thought of writing one myself. I followed the links from your signature and read your post. Just edit it and write that it does work with secured connections At least it worked for me with the wpa_supplicant attached in this post. And in this post I elaborated a little more on configuration at desktop because in Windows (especially my Vista), there were several problems with Ad hoc mode sharing, and it only worked with Connectify for me. I guess I might have not configured it properly then, and just wanted to share something that worked for me. And then I tried doing Ad hoc mode on Ubuntu, which never worked until the passkey was set to 40/128 bit WEP security.
no probs...you have find the method to use secure connection. that's the differences between mine and yours. its a nice post with more detailed step. much more better than mine. people should refers to your post for better wifi adhoc setting. keep sharing yo

Haha, nothing like that They could refer to any of our posts, because both of us had the same intentions (Sharing what worked for us)
Well, I want you to use your wpa_supplicant, and disable firewall and try to connect in a secure way, I am sure, it has to work. I guess the blog-post that I referred to (for downloading the file) must have been made using your post. Try it once and let me know
Also let me know if you have disconnections For me, I experience 2 to 3 disconnections when trying to connect to a WiFi router, and no disconnections while connecting to Ad Hoc N/w. So if we could collaborate and get some solution to it, it would be great!
I don't have any firewall and I have tried that. not working. btw, I made that post to fix wifi problem. the adhoc connection is just a bonus. I haven't check your wpa_suplicant, it could be different with mine. there's possibility that your wpa_suplicant support secure connection but mine simply doesn't support it.

Possible. I had once come across a source file for wpa_supplicant, in some forum. I'll send you a link of the same if I get it once again, and then may be we could try to figure out how we could have both the things (Secure + Reliable ad hoc)
Edit: Link to the forum regarding source of wpa_supplicant, for anyone interested to solve disconnection and security issues.

Did you use the wpa_supplicant attached in this post, or did you obtain the file from any other source? Plus, have you disabled your antivirus firewall (if any)?
If your answer is yes to above questions, wait till it shows disconnected/remembered and then, turn off your wifi, turn it back on, and redo this about 2 to 3 times if problem exists. The problem you mentioned happens only during handshaking (initialization), and once you are connected, there is hardly any chance that you would get disconnected.
Do try the solution and get back to me. All the best
Make life easy, use connectify. If you would like to make life a lot easier, create a usb reverse tether mod

xD Yes yes indeed, connectify works like charm, but only on Windows 7 (as it allows virtual router mode in Win7) but to use it with XP and Vista, we need this wpa_supplicant work around. And reverse tether with USB exists already, plus there are a few issues that prevent us to download apps from market, and stuff like that due to tunneling issues...

Solution for my problem ???
How can you call it a 'reverse tether'?
Its more like ICS over WiFi.
Using Connectify,you create an access point (aka hotspot).
other options you can use :-
bzeek,virtual router
idk about linux

Well, as I already said, Connectify creates access point only on Win7 (that too if there is hardware for it), on other OSes, it creates ad hoc network, which Android phones do not detect. And it is called reverse tether, because you are using your PC's ethernet connection on your WiFi (the ethernet connection is shared with your phone over WiFi). Virtual router also works well for Win7, not for other OSes, and this was the only work around that actually worked.

Dear All,
Anyone managed to use "Port Forwarder Ultimate" app from Playstore? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.icecoldapps.portforwarderultimatepro&hl=en
I'm not a technical person but this method has other potentials to explore. Maybe someone has patient to teach non-IT person.
I know that I should be satisfied with "USB tethering" in android. But users experience improves with new things.
As prerequisite, we should be able to ping our phone's public IP. but how to ping mobile Public IP?
A detailed guide with screenshot or video will help.
Thanks,
AB
This app does not provide such a feature, it would work if it was installed on your carrier router.
You have an class c address witch is not routable.
The app provide means for running a server app on your phone that is using a port below 1024 , ex: ftp, web etc. If you are connected on your wifi network and make proper port forwarding on your router than you will be able to access your phone from the Internet. But it does not make any sense in doing so.
To access your phone's external ip address regularly you need to run the DynDNS client that forwards your ip to dyndns. When you setup an account with DynDNS you select a url to use and DYDNS will forward any requests to that URL to your phone's current ip address. Naturally you will need a service running on your phone like a web server, ftp or vnc depending on what you want to do.

I purchased the below item from ebay. I'm thinking of pushing my phone's internet to standard router. Then I will have wired and wireless connection. USB tethering works but I want a bigger network. Maybe you guys can suggest an easy procedures?

Hi developer,
This what I want to set-up (he ethernet jack will come soon). Internet from phone to Buffalo router! Can you please share the solution?
If you have an Android 5+ phone, with an active data plan, I could really use a simple, quick test.
Will test your app in exchange.
The app (TestFirewall) is a part of what will be a firewall app.
It is setup to test only a single function related to mobile hotspot tether.
Join the beta group here:
https:// groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/testfirewall
Or if you prefer I can send you apk direct
HOW TO TEST:
Open the app and press the TURN ON button.
Press OK in the vpn connection request.
The app will then take you to your network settings screen. Start a mobile wifi hotspot.
Connect another phone or pc to the hotspot.
Let me know if you can browse the web on the other phone or pc.
Thats it!
Thanks
