Hey all,
I have a non-rooted Android 8.0 phone.
I'm looking for an Android app that will:
1. Open an SSH connection with private key to a remote host
2. Create a SOCKS 5 dynamic tunnel
3. Use Android's VPN mode to transparently proxy selected apps through the tunnel
For example, I can do 1&2 with connectbot but then have to configure the apps manually to use the tunnel if they support socks.
I can use another app to be the transparent vpn but that adds more work and multiple stages.
I'm looking for a "one stop shop" that works like Orbot with Android's selected-app vpn mode, but over ssh instead of tor.
Are there any such apps? I can't find anything on my own...
Thanks!

Hi, did you find the app you looked for? I'm searching it too

Hello all,
I'm looking for a solution that will allow me to manage apps remotely.
I have a closed network (no Internet access) for Android devices that will be accessing an "app store" hosted on a server which, as far as I know, can be a simple web server that hosts .apk files for download.
This is an OK solution but I'm looking for open source or even 3rd party "app stores" that have the capability to manage an Android device from a central server. I'd like it to not only install apps but also automatically push app updates to devices or remove apps remotely.
I'm guessing apps like f-droid could be modified to point to a repository on a local server for users to download apps but this doesn't do much as far as remote management.
Thanks!
Hi guys,
I'm searching for a possibility to establish a VPN connection with just one click. Some kind of widget would be great. Even greater it would be, if I can tell Tasker to establish a VPN connection, if I'm connected to a specific wifi network.
Maybe someone can give me an advice in this issue.
Thanks in advance

I've the same question... somebody know how to establish vpn-connection with tasker (Samsung Galaxy S3). I use the build-in vpn.
With VPNCilla it should work but then I get always a message to "trust the app".
Or somebody knows a widget that i can start the buildin vpn with one klick?
Hi,
The author of OpenVPN for Android has extended his App to allow 3rd party applications remote control of the VPN. Ffrog Apps has written a Tasker plugin to use this remote control: 'OpenVPN Tasker Plugin' try out the beta version search g+ for Ffrog Apps Beta Testing
Note: it requires at least version 0.6.37+ of the OpenVPN for Android app, which is only released as a beta at this stage - search g+ for OpenVPN for Android
Unfortunately i can't post direct links to xda.

I got this crazy idea that I don't know is possible or not... what I want to do is set up my phone as wifi access point, then allow people to connect to it, but handle all incoming http traffic myself.
So:
Create a server (with KWS - Android web server)
client can connect to the phone
when client tries to open an http connection to any random server, this has to be intercepted by my app and handled by a local web server
Anyone knows any android app to do this ?
What you are talking about is a captive portal.
I made a simple app for this purpose. If you are a developer, I need your help to improve the app. For downloading the app and source code check this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/guide-setup-fake-captive-portal-android-t4011689
Hi,
I'm developing an Android VPN client. I want to know my best options to make a one-click-to-connect vpn client. There is openvpn but the problem with it is the license. I'll have to pay for concurrent users. So, what are my free or cheapest options.
Is there a way to use a vpn that only allows certain apps or ports and the rest are not allowed to use this VPN?
Thank you
I would like to use an android as a Windows 10 PC terminal. I'm using a Samsung Fold3 running Android 12 if it matters. It seems like a fairly simple process. Enable Remote Desktop on the Windows 10 PC. Make sure the PC's firewall (and virus protection software) passes Remote Desktop access. Install Remote Desktop Client on the Android and setup the connection to the PC.
The Remote Desktop Client sees the PC, fills in the active user account and requests the user password. I can enter the password but the android does not respond to the "Continue" button and all I can do is cancel out of it. I can also try to edit the PC configuration to setup a user account so that a password does not need to be entered each time but in this case the save button is unresponsive whether or not a password is entered.
This same thing happens whether I select the PC found on the local wifi or I enter the PC's IP address manually (with or without the 3389 port number).
Can anyone give me a clue as to what I'm doing wrong or how to proceed?
Sorry. User error. I was doing something stupid.
Never mind.
These remote desktop options allows you to access Windows from Android easily with just one click.https://www.anyviewer.com/how-to/remote-control-windows-10-from-android-0427.html

Thanks for the link.
My initial problem was just a usage error getting Microsoft Remote Desktop Client to work when on the same network. I fixed that issue and am able to use it to control my PC from an android as long as I'm on the same local network which is useful but I would also like to be able to do it from anywhere on the internet.
Your link led to a discussion of this issue with the possibility of using port forwarding or a VPN to allow access to my PC from an external network with varying degrees of complexity and hacking potential.
The link also discussed using chrome and a google account to access my PC remotely. This is unacceptable because I won't use chrome and have uninstalled it from all my android devices plus although I do have a Google account, I only use it to explicitly download apps from the store and otherwise disable Google Play Services and the Google Play Store and will not use any app that requires Google Play Services to function. So this option is out.
The final option requires me to create an account at a third party site and presumably direct all of my traffic through this third party. This too is unacceptable to me.
So the question is, is there a simpler method to access my PC from an android device that's on a different network than having to setup a vpn or enabling port forwarding on my router, that doesn't require registering for and using a third party service to accomplish the goal?
