Accessing through Proxy

[Guest feeta]

Hi Guys,

Just been searching online and I can't seem to find an app that works on my Vega for accessing the internet through my work proxy.

Has anyone successfully set up your Vega to access a proxy?

Yep, after several frustrating hours of searching I found an app called "transparent proxy" which works very well. Its free and not on the market but you should be able find it on google.

The version I have working is Transproxy3.08beta.akp

Cool!

I used this one too, on your suggestion (it seems to come from xda-developers )

I can set up a squid proxy using an Amazon EC2 micro instance running Ubuntu ($0.02 per hour, and you really can start and stop it via the Amazon AWS web console from the Vega), set up the proxy via this app, connect with port forwarding using the "Connectbot" app, and voila, totally secure net access over wifi (eg. for when you are using open wifi in a coffee shop etc).

I got it working fairly easily, and was able to browse the net over ssh via an Amazon EC2 virtual machine somewhere in the Western USA.

I did try Hulu, but it spotted that I was running over a proxy and chucked me out, boo hoo.

(And then I checked my own squid logs using Connectbot, to confirm where I'd been)

Brilliant.

Thanks for the top tip.
