I have seen a lot of people wondering about how to use your phone's vpn in pc. If you're one of them, than keep reading.
To do this you do not need root
Works on any computer OS
Works on home wifi or data hotspot
When your PC is connected with your WiFi or hotspot, it's sends all the request directly, regardless of your phone's vpn, wheather it is on or off. When you turn on the phone's VPN, all the traffic from your phone goes through the VPN, and we have to divert your PC's traffic through the same route.
There are a lot of different ways to do this, but we will use proxy method.
Download an app called proxy server (<1MB), you can find it in PlayStore or here on XDA. Or any other app would do, it just needs to have the capability to create a proxy server.
So (for Proxy server app) all you have to do is (first time setup)-
Open the app.
Click on the add button at the top, give it a name.
Remember the port and go back.
On the dialogue, click save.
Click on Info at the top, note the wifi ip, go back.
Click on Start at the top to start the server.
Go to PC's browser (or network proxy, if you want to tunnel everything) settings.
Put the proxy server ip (the wifi ip noted earlier) and the port.
Turn on your phone's VPN
Enjoy :good:
If you're using hotspot, go to pc's network settings or ipconfig (google if you don't know how) to find out the gateway, that will be your proxyserver ip.
Just in case it seems to be a lot of steps, know that, you only have to setup once, after that its pretty much start and stop on both your phone and PC. I have an addon installed in my browser (proxy toggle) so basically it's a single-click step.
I'm no scientist, so I don't know all the billions of methods to do this, but this is just a good old method that's going unnoticed somehow. I'm just trying to help people here by sharing it here. If you already knew it, good for you. If you didn't, congratulations and good luck.
:good:
Please

I think it'd be better if you go watch a video on YouTube, explaining "what is a vpn" . If I try to explain you here, chances are you're going to get confused even more.

Start VPN in phone
Start proxyserver app in phone
Set the proxy IP and port in your PC browser
It's a 3 step process. If you still need help, you should ask more specifically, a generic "more explanation needed" doesn't pin point where should I start.

VPN HOST
VPN Groupname
VPN Grouppassword
VPN Username

On my Nexus i use CM RC3 with Open VPN, BUT:

Can anyone guide me through?
THANX
Tigger
You could try this app:
http://code.google.com/p/get-a-robot-vpnc/
I haven't had much luck with it, the domain setting doesn't seem to work for me.
I'll post more detail later when I'm near a full size keyboard.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
THX, gonna try this
Edit:
i was able to establish a connection, but only via WiFi, not via EDGE
What can i do about this issue?
Also, this whole thing is totally unstable...
Edit 2:
i was able to set up a connection ONCE... but never again =(
There is an app called vpn connections that I'm use fairly regularly to connect to a cisco vpn. It might be worth a try.
i did. the result is above your post -.-
no one to help me with this? =/
**UP**
still noone?
Hi all,

Android does not natively support a non-transparent proxy.

I see. So, I have no choice but to root my phone to use the proxy....
Previously I used the Firefox mobile browser to bypass proxy settings. However, the only application you can use on your phone is the Firefox browser itself.
# Run Firefox, and in address bar type: about:config. This will take you to the advanced configuration panel.
# Now you need to find proxy entries, to simplify that you can filter it out by typing proxy in the field below address bar.
# Modify network.proxy.http and network.proxy.http_port to your proxy server and port.
# Set network.proxy.type value to 1.
I am not sure if this still works but give it a try.

Yeah... or as madballs (lol) posted, you can try the Firefox beta. But keep in mind, on Firefox will work... no other data services on the phone will.
It is kind of crappy they don't support it, especially when there are other roms out there that have this little function added in.
LOL, I was surprised nobody has taken this name when I registered.
I really cant understand ,, if they could add proxy settings to the browsers without rooting,,
why don't the developers add it in their apps?!?!
Go to the wifi settings there push the menu button and select advanced.
now you have a list within you can set your proxy settings over the current wifi connection.
I have tested it with my DHD at work. works perfect but hope they will connect to the same concept for proxy as by android 3.2.
There you can configure a proxy for each connection.

And sorry for english skills...

wht is that how to use it????
well..
it is in the Wireless settings section. i guess you should use L2 IPSec.
briefly: have to set up a VPN server/connection point at home or wherever, and you'll connect to that from anywhere given that there's an open outbound port to the internet where you are currently. than a connection will be built up creating a "tunnel" through which your packets will be transferred to the VPN host where itt could be routed and NAT-ed to the internet unrestricted.
adding IPSec or other methods of encryptions will make your connection secure.
i've never tried it on my phone but since its based on linux it must be the same way as at desktop system.
you should check documents and howtos on the internet and check for apps at Market if the androids builtin is not satisfying!

Use Froyo by Laszlo it supports proxy over wifi
When using WiFi connection having proxy, apps won't work. There is a option to use proxy server but it is limited to only Web Browser which is really highly inconvenient for the users. Even Google Play Store won't work. Today almost every app needs an internet connection and without proxy support we are only stuck with mobile data which is slow as well as expensive.
I kindly request you to add a feature so that we can put the proxy for the full system and not only for web browser. Please consider this issue as High Priority and rectify it ASAP.
anyone please help
On your WiFi connection settings long press the wireless network (the one with the proxy) and it will prompt you to either 'Forget' or 'Modify'. Click "Modify" and then tick the "Show Advanced Options" box and it will show you proxy settings for that network. If that doesn't do the trick then try looking for proxy management apps or VPN apps (bypass proxy completely). I'm sure there's at least a few of those out there.

it would support only proxy without authentication
Yeah it seems authentication isn't supported in the Android system at the moment so the best choice would be to download a proxy app to do it for you.

Tried both SSL and drony both works fine but only with few apps works.. thanks you everyone.
I have a Sony camera that can FTP photos to my phone while I am shooting. Works perfectly using the IP of the phone in the FTP client when connecting the camera to it using hotspot. AWESOME!
However, the IP of the phone changes every time I enable hotspot. As far as I have been able to find out this is by design. This is an issue, since I need to go into the menu of my camera and change the IP. Not so awesome. No keyboard on camera.
I had the brilliant idea of trying to use the DNS name of the phone instead of IP. Works fine when both devices are on the same wifi, eg at home, but when the phone is the hotspot I find that there is no DNS name for the phone.
Any tips? Is there something I have not thought of?
Noone has any experience with this, please?
Interesting workflow you've got here. I use WebDav via FX File Explorer on a static IP address (within my network) to have a single shortcut on my computers to jump right into the phone without a cable. I know this is different, but I'm just sharing because I know exactly what you're going for. Unfortunately, the WAN IP on a mobile device will always be different when it's enabled.
The only thing I can think of that would manage this would be a dynamic DNS client directly on your phone. I imagine this is possible through a paid service - I run dynamic DNS on my Synology NAS out of my house since I do not have a static WAN IP. Synology provides this for free once you buy their hardware. I believe Asus provides this as well for their routers. There's gotta be a solution for Android, I've just not looked into it and I've gotta run out shortly or I would. You've got me curious so I am going to read into this later. Hope this helps a bit, I will post back.
Edit: a quick google seems to boast a lot of options for this! It should absolutely solve your problem.
Woops. looks like my reply from my phone a few days ago never saved.
I really like that the photos are available on my phone for sharing instantly when I am shooting. There is a Sony app that can perform the same, but it does not do RAW, and it compresses the JPG down to 2 MB. By using FTP I have the option of getting the full size JPG as well as the RAW straight to my phone for editing or sharing instantly.
I am considering FTPing to my home server where I run a FTP server, but then I need to find a way to make the files available on my phone again. Using OneDrive syncing the FTP destination folder or similar should do the trick. However, it requires double the data since I am uploading the photo to the server and then downloading it to my phone using OneDrive.
Is there a "local" DNS app that I can run on my phone, eg one that announces to the local network created by the hotspot? I have used no-ip and dyndns. but that is for announcing a DNS name for my public IP.
I was hoping there was a %gateway% or other variable I could use to resolve to the phone in hotspot mode.
