Like many other people, my carrier filters all my GPRS through their HTTP Proxy.
- POP/SMTP email can't be polled
- Windows Live Messenger won't connect
- Streaming whatever is obviously impossible
- Whatever other network you want won't work
- All you can do is browse web pages and update RSS news
I wrote a very unpopular thread in the past about how to bypass your carrier's GPRS Proxy server
in order to access blocked ports for emails & other services. It was unpopular probably because
it only worked on a PC
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=314757
Now I made it work ON your phone.
Basic Guide - This post
Tip to autoload everything once setup - Bottom of first post
Make a SSH server - Second Post
Setup your email settings - Third Post
~~~~~~STEP BY STEP GUIDE ~~~~~~~~~~
1 - Setup a SSH server to listen to port 443. Port 443 being opened to the internet OBVIOUSLy.
Linux users will have no issue with this.
However, Windows XP users need to install a SSH server, so please see my second post for how to do this.
2 - Download Pocketputty for your phone
3 - In your phone, go to: settings / system / About / Device ID (tab) | Write something unique, but in a single word, such as your username.
4 - Go in Settings / Connections / Connections / Advanced / Select Networks | Select "My Work Network" for both options.
It might not be named "My work Network" but it has to be the network which you can add a proxy server to the settings.
5 - Add your GPRS information for the "My Work Network".
6 - Go to "Edit my proxy server"
7 - Check the two boxes in proxy settings, then click on "Advanced"
HTTP : add your carrier's HTTP proxy address. Pocket IE cannot work any other way.
WAP : Useless (unless you NEED this working, add your carrier's proxy, or the same information SOCKS proxy under)
Secure WAP : useless
SOCKS : write your phone's "about" name from step 2, port is 1080
8 - Click Ok,Ok,Ok etc until you get back to "today"
9 - Load PocketPutty
TAB - Session
Hostname : your SSH server's external IP address
Port : 443
TAB - Tunnel
Source : 1080
Destination : (nothing)
Check circle "Dynamic"
Click Add (top right)
Go back to Tab - Session
Stored Session : proxy
Click Save
Click Cancel
10 - Use a registry editor & Edit the following Values (MAKE SURE IT IS DECIMAL VALUES)
HKEY_CURRENT_USER / SOFTWARE / SIMONTATHAM / PUTTY / SESSIONS / PROXY
LocalPortAcceptAll = 1
ProxyHost = (your cellphone carrier's HTTP proxy server)
ProxyPort = (Your cellphone carrier's HTTP Proxy server port, should be 80 or 8080)
ProxyMethod = 3
RemoteCommand = top
12 - Initiate a GPRS connection (Settings / Connections / Connections / Manage Existing Connections /
Select your GPRS connection, Tap & hold, click on connect)
13 - Load Putty
14 - Load settion "Proxy"
15 - Click Open & A black terminal window will appear
16 - go back to the "today" screen as soon as possible (it's the only way it will connect, while in the background,
I think it's a bug or something)
17 - Wait a few seconds, suddenly a window will appear asking you if you wish to save an encryption key. Click yes
(note : this will only happen on the first time you connect)
18 - Go back into Putty (DO NOT LOAD A NEW PUTTY WINDOW, use the task manager to bring back the ongoing session)
19 - It should ask your username then password, fill in the obvious information requirements.
20 - Once you are logged into your SSH server, type "top" and press enter, it will allow you to keep your connection alive.
21 - Go back to the "Today" screen and try loading Windows Live Messenger, for the first time, while using the proxy, it should connect!
~~~~~~TIP~~~~~
With Total Command, you can make a shortcut that will load putty and log you in AUTOMATICALLY
Find Putty.exe
Click on File, then >>>>>>>>>>>>> (A) >
Create Shortcut
Place it in \windows\start menu\programs\
Then browse to that folder with total command
find Putty.exe.ink
Tap/Hold and open properties
tab SHORTCUT
Assuming putty.exe is located in "\" write this in target:
\PUTTY.EXE" -load proxy -l yourusername -pw yourpassword
Then click on ok, tadaa, simply start up Putty fro that shortcut and go back to the today screen.
It will log you on automatically without your intervention.
You still need to initate a GPRS connection first though.

19 - You should then see something like [email protected]:
20 - Success, you have a running SSH server for your phone to connect to.
Notice - Make sure that if your Windows machine is behind a router or firewall, that the port 443 is
forwarded to your computer. Otherwise, nobody on the internet would be able to connect to your
SSH server on port 443, including your phone.
POP/SMTP EMAIL SERVER ACCESS
Im going to write an example for using GMAIL. You can guess the rest for different services.
1 - Load your Proxy session, but dont connect yet.
2 - Go to the Tunnel tab
Local : 35553 (or any big unused port number)
Remote : pop.googlemail.com:993
Select "local"
Click add
Again
Local : 35554 (different from above)
Remote : smtp.googlemail.com:465
Click add
Go back to session and save the new settings
Now connect to your SSH server
Go to your Messaging
Add a new Email account
Email address : [email protected]
UNCHECK : Try to get your email settings directly from the internet
Select Provider : Internet Email
Fill everything yourself until "Incoming Mail Server"
Incoming mail server : alkizmotytn:35553 (that's MY PHONE's name, type in YOURS!!!)
Account type : pop3
Enter your gmail username & password
Outgoing Mail Server : alkizmotytn:35554 (dont be an idiot)
Check box : Outgoing server requires authentification
Click "Advanced Settings"
Check box : Require SSL for incoming
Check Box : Require SSL for outgoing
Network Connections : Work
It should be able to download/send emails now, while using Putty.
ok, so I can connect but when it does it says
Fatal error....
in the terminal it says
Bash: Top: Command not found
BTW! Thanks for this, If this works your my hero. If not well. Your still my hero. lol
Ohhh I know exactly what's wrong.
Here's how to fix it :
1 - Run "setup.exe" that you downloaded from cygwin
2 - Repeat the same steps of installation (you'll notice, it's taking your previous settings already)
3 - Find "Procps" package, click on "skip" just like you did with OpenSSH, Zlib, etc.
4 - Click next, and it will install "procps" on top of your SSH server.
5 - Reconnect, TOP will now work.
Here's WHY this happened
"top" command is a command that is sent automatically. It is added in Step 10.
"top" is ALWAYS part of a Linux system, but aparently not for the SSH server for windows.
I didnt think to check this since I run a small linux server.
now it should work
GOOD NEWS THOUGH : YOU HAVE PASSED THE HARDEST PART! TOP WAS A TINY ISSUE!!!
edit - I edited the SSH Server setup to include "procps" in the package installation list. I hope people read this thread. This is a major improvement for those stuck behind a HTTP proxy.
~~~~~~ TO RUN A SSH SERVER WITHOUT A COMPUTER ~~~~~~~
If you dont like the idea of running a PC 24/7 at home, you can turn your wireless router into a SSH server.
Look at the hardware list here
http://wiki.openwrt.org/TableOfHardware
If your router's model number and revision has "SUPPORTED" under status, you might just be in luck!!!
You can install a linux based firmware operating system on your wireless router. It will replace your router's OS completely with a MUCH MUCH more powerful one.
I recommend X-WRT since it is VERY userfriendly
http://x-wrt.org/
But OpenWRT is good for advanced linux users
http://wiki.openwrt.org/OpenWrtDocs/Installing
There's also DD-WRT for the complete n00b
http://www.dd-wrt.com/dd-wrtv2/index.php
All of them, once installed, have a SSH server right out of the box.
So your server is your router.
Thanks, I will try this.

I'd recommend a Linksys WRT54GL if you are going to dish out the cash for a new router. Might as well buy a POWERFUL router. The WRT54GL can be overclocked to 250mhz (mine runs at 262mhz stable) and you can mod it to add a flash SD card to it to expand the memory to install OTHER applications.
You can run a small HTTP server with 1-2GB of storage with the SD mod.
I run an Asterisk VoIP server + HTTP + the SSH tunnel thing + router can become a relay access point (the router is a WIFI CLIENT!!) and a bunch of other linux applications.
WRT54G and WRT54GS are good too, but you need to find an older revision number.
FON routers are... meh...
edit - Im out for the night, Ill check back in the morning for questions and problems.
PLEASE READ!!!!
I forgot a VERY important registry setting for PocketPutty in Step 10
LocalPortAcceptAll = 1
VERY IMPORTANT!!!! ok?
sorry for the mistakes
Me no Likey SSH
Hmm SSH server has given me lots of trouble. I think I would rather use an HTTP proxy if this made things work.
Nothing really works, and my internet connection is messed up when I use the SSH server.
I won't give up though. THIS IS A GREAT GUIDE.
If this is the way to kick T-Mo's Butt, I'm going to drive this into the ground!
Please try this, and post your results.
Alkizmo and I will hopefully get time to get this to work.
More Alkizmo than I, I'll be the guinea pig
almost working... help please ^^
Alkizmo thanks for the great guide!
I got almost everything to work.. but I guess there's something still missing..
Pocketputty correctly connects to the SSH server with the correct tunnel settings (checked many times). Registry settings for Pocketputty are set correctly as well (also checked..). By the way, Pocketputty doesn't seem to know how to start EDGE/GPRS connection on demand, so I either manually connect, or start Opera browser and go to a random website to start the connection.
The proxy settings changed under the T-Mobile Data network, with HTTP proxy pointing to the T-Mobile well-known proxy server, and the SOCKS proxy (tried both SOCKS4 and SOCKS5) pointing to the localhost:1080 (tried 127.0.0.1, tried the id of the phone).
No luck... Windows Live Messenger still cannot connect.
Let's try to find out the missing piece!
Thank you!
p.s. using AT&T Tilt, with Dutty's hybrid ROM.
sorry for the late reply. It's been a while since i've roamed these forums.
So, you should try the SSH tunnel on another computer with the PC version of Putty and see if you can tunnel through sock4, so you can eliminate the server as a fault.
Second, you can do another test to see if it's pocketputty's fault or T-Mobile's proxy being very strange.
You test it by changing pocketputty's proxy settings to be very specific with a pop3 email server as explained in the guide. Then create a pop3 email account on your phone to connect through the pocketputty proxy.
If that doesnt work, then im thinking that there's something else at work to prevent you from tunneling. I had someone else with t-mobile that couldnt SSH tunnel for some reason.
I found your MISTAKE mmoroz!
You enter in the SOCKS proxy - localhost:1080
however, as specified in the step #3, you have to first give a unique ID name to your phone. Name it : mmoroz
Settings / System / About / Device ID / Device Name : mmoroz
THEN in SOCKS proxy, you enter - mmoroz:1080
WM5/6 dont seem to understand localhost or 127.0.0.1, that's why you got to specify your phone's Device ID as the localhost address.
windows live mail on windows mobile
Does windows live mail (hotmail) works with this method? The instruction looks complicated, but I'm willing to do it if it works with live mail with push feature. By the way, do I need static ip address for the server?
Thank a lot! This is a great guide!

Hotmail push email will work. The moment you're connected to messenger, all the other services will follow.
You dont need a static IP, but you'd need to have a system to either update your DNS address with your new IP every time, or manually change it yourself.
I got a dynamic IP, but since im on broadband, the connection is active all the time, so my IP pretty much never changes.

Thanks A LOT! I'm working hard to get this work (no xbox for past 48 hrs). I'm using dd-wrt router to do the SSH server, but i have to change my verizon router to bridge mode first & i'm still trying to change it. Anyway, i will keep you update w/ my progress.
Guys, I STRONGLY recommend you setup a TEMPORARY SSH server before making all this effort to setup a permanent one. You can do this on your computer directly connected to the internet.
You should TEST with your phone BEFORE making a permanent server. That way, if your carrier blocks something special prevent SSH access, then you wouldn't have wasted your time setting up the server.
problems!
Hi,
I set up a SSH server on my Buffalo router with DD-WRT firmware. Instead of just use password, I used a private key for SSH server authorization. I did load/save the private on to the client on my phone. I got this error msg. on my phone when I try to connect to the SSH server.
PuTTY Fatal Error
"Server unexpectedly closed network connection"
I check the firewall log on the router, it confirmed that it accepted the connection from my phone. I did double check the IP address of the phone and confirmed that it's the same IP address from log:
Source IP------Protocol------Destination Port Number-----Rule
66.94.XX.XX------TCP ---------------------https------Accepted
By the way, I'm using T-Mobile USA service. Please see the attached picture for the SSH setting on my router (I did exactly as show on the picture, but I copied the pic from the web). I also enabled SSH remove management on my router.
I have been reading a lot of information regarding SSH. I can't figure out the problems yet. Please offer any suggestions.

I wouldn't suggest leaving any router, whether it be DD-WRT, OpenWRT or etc... open to SSH for an extended period of time... you're going to open up a bad can of worms security-wise. It's cool to do it for a short amount of time for testing, but when your done... close the hole and shut it down

You're not using port 443. You need to use port 443, that's one of the only ports opened by the T-Mobile proxy.
Also, im not sure if SSHD will work with my trick. I only tested with SSH

Make the password extra extra long and block your router from responding to ping requests and you'll be fine. SSH is a very very very secure protocol.
Im used to doing file sharing over my network at home (some wireless some wired). Can this be done with my mogul? I just want to be able to watch some vids that are on my desktop or listen to my music. I cant seem to figure this out i tried looking for the phone on the view workgroup computers from my network places on my PC but nothing. I tried putting in my desktops IP on IE,file explorer,total commander but nothing. Is there something that im not remembering? Or can it not be done?
resco file explorer will let you map windows network drives.. works pretty well over wifi...
-m
1. First make sure you have some folders shared on your desktop.
2. Next make sure your WLAN connection is setup and working on your Mogul
3. To verify you have a connection, open the admin panel on your wireless router and verify that your Mogul grabbed an IP address. For example, on my wireless router's DHCP table, I can see my Mogul listed as WM_Tony and it grabbed an IP address. Next, from your desktop try to ping your Mogul at that IP address, it should work.
4. Now open your Mogul, goto File Explorer, then Menu, then "Open Path", then "New Path". Type in the name of your desktop using the format \\Desktop_name
5. If your Desktop is password protected, you'll get a popup asking for credentials, enter them now.
6. You should now see any shared network folders that are on your desktop.
Hope that helps,
TC

just to note, if you use the OEM File Explorer you cant play videos/mp3/etc directly from the share, you have to copy them over
not sure if resco is the same way or not

Actually that's a good point. I'm surprised there's no "true" network client for the PPC platform. I also noticed that when my PPC is connected to the network that I can't see it in the network neighborhood, which means it's not supporting NetBIOS broadcasts or dynamic DNS registrations with Active Directory.
I'm going to do some more research on this, I'll report back if I find anything hepful.
Is there such a thing?
Im using unlimited internet plan for port 80 which means i can surf over the net for html pages with no additional charge.
Now my question is if theres a messenger that uses that port so i dont must wifi or data plan to use it?
Thanks.
eran.
im not sure but you could try ebuddy, or any other html based messenger
if you have access to a vpn, ssh-server or a proxy server you can tunnel your connection through them which is supported by almost every mobile messenger client.
hi,
use open vpn, a good solution to create and use a tunnel via your pc connection, than your pc will be the server that you can connect on with your 3g+ connection.
i tried that today with success, and used msn messenger and push mail, all with my wap Sfr connection, that use the port 80.
use google for research, and send a message if you need help....i'll try even if my english is not perfect....but think i can help.

i dtried to look for howto's in order to understand how it works..
i didnt really got it.
i'd be glad if you explain it here shortly,
it will be available for the rest of the guys either
you can use a simple ssh server for tunneling, too. that's more simple than the configuration of a whole vpn.
First you have to have con trol over such a server (I use a vserver of mine), than have the server listen on not only the ssh port but also a http one(if you have a webserver too running in the ssh server host, you maybe can't useport 80, but luckily my provider has also port 8080 open, because it is often used for http proxies).
now download pocketputty from the internet.
in the session tab enter yout servers ip and choose ssh, but change the port to 8080.
now go to the tunnel tab (as there are many tabs, maybe you cant see it at first, but it's there).
now you enter a free port on your mobile in the source field (I use 50 for example), the destination is the ip of your ssh server, and check dynamic. now click add.
then change back to the session tab, give you settings a name in the field stored sessions and klick save.
now the settings are stored and you can start the connection by double klicken on the name of your session that is now listed unter (Default Settings) in the sessions list.
The ssh connection will open and you will to have to log you into the ssh server, with a user (the name is not important, and it needn't to be the super user ;-) ), that has a shell.
when you're logged in open your mobile icq client. now go to the proxy settings of it and choose socks as proxy server type, the proxy address is localhost and the port the one you chose in the source field in the ppcoektputty tunnel tab. (so putty is your local socks proxy server).
now you should be able to connect thorugh the ssh tunnel to icq.
if you use your mobile sionmetimes as modem for a laptop, the trick works very similiar with the normal putty and a non mobile windows ;-)

I couldnt find application for ssh server which i understand how to work with..
i wouldnt mind some help...
first you need a server in the internet for that, because you need an endpoint for the ssh connection.
as i said i have a linux server under my control. if you don't have an internet server or access to one with a ssh account, which I doubt reading your post, this solution isn't maybe the best for you, because have such a server costs about 8-10 euro or dollars a month, and as I need it for other things to, this costs are ok for me.
an alternative maybe would be an vpn account by a vpn provider which costs less, but then the way to get it to work is a bit differnet.
I just thought I could set up such a server on my own computer...if possible.
I did understand i can do that, but i didnt understand how
Nevermind, I will try other solutions..
thanks
hmm, this would be possible, but your computer would have to be reachable under a fest address from the internet (which oculd be done using dyndns). Are you using windows or linux in your machine?
Usually my computer is online all the time, so it wouldnt be a problem
And using a dynamic hostname with dyndns is what I thought about at first place.
my pc is running windows

Thank you for your help.
I used that guide and Im not sure about the last stage, when creating the client.ovpn file,
in the line 'remote' - i leave it xx.xx.xx.xx ? They didnt mention different...
And after that, How do I config the vpn connection on my mobile? I need a step by step in this stage because I dont want extra-charging....
Thanks

instead of XX.xx.xx.xx you must fill your internet IP thaht you can see here http://www.ip-adress.com/, and may be you have to change port to 443 instead of 80 in config files....that works with me,dont forget port forwarding in your router if you have one, mens you have to redirect incoming connection on port 80, and 443 to the pc that have openvpn.
but first of all you have to make your server work on the pc, some times you have to kill openvpn activites making CTRL+ALT+Del, to make open vpn GUi work and the vpn connect....see for next episode.
Ok,
im kind of stuck again....
I configured the vpn program and did everything by the guide,
Now i need to add a vpn connection to my regular 3g settings?
I did that, with my IP address, and it asks for user and password
i assumed its tcp-client like in the config file,
and password one of the keys in key.txt file..
but it doesnt work.
or i didnt do it right.

So, when you launch open vpn on your PC, with the GUI (the incon of open vpn on the bureau), do you have the little yellow incon down right your pc screen and a message of connection success....you must first of all secceed to make your vpn work...after for the pocket pc its really nothing.....
PS: the client config must be in the config folder of your ppc with the key....personnally i made a copy of the key in the base folder of the device cause sometimes the key is not detected in the config folder.
and important to set your connection on "my work network" not wap in the avanced connections configuration.....but tell you make a seccessful vpn connection first and for the ppc its will be a joke...

Ok, i feel like it comes to an end...
the vpn server on my pc is working, the application openvpn.exe is running in the background and i do have that network enabled and running.
I found and installed open vpn for ppc,
its a bit annoying it cant run on a window and that its running on the background screen, meaning my touchflow (im using htc diamond) is hiding it, so i need to disable the touchflow when i need to configure the app.
(maybe solutions?)
now i need to copy the configuration files and the key file i have in the config folder of the computer to the ppc folder?
And what next?
Thanks

So....great...now you have to copy the key.txt in the ppc config folder....with the client config.opvn(2 files), i learned somewhere yhat you have to copy the key in the main ppc directory also...i did it....see this video on this site....that can help much http://www.psykokwak.com/blog/index.php/2007/12/08/41-rendre-le-forfait-sfr-illimythics-vraiment-illimythics....give feed backs ...i'm here tonight...
can anybody tell me how to setup remote desktop from HTC to my PC (I am using Windows 7)
Step by step please guys
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCs4GQma7IQ
With that guide I made it work, good luck.
I did exactly everything in this guide and even set a corresponding exception in the Windows firewall (also tried with Windows firewall off) - but the mobile remote desktop program always tells me there was an internal error... But what the heck could that be?
Dont bother the remote dt program is ****e, im currently using vnc which is a bit better, but rather lacking also.
Is it me or did that video not mention setting up your windows machine to allow connections.
Make sure remote desktop is enabled on your PC and make sure it is allowing connections from computers running any version of Remote desktop(2nd option) third option works between windows 7 machines but wouldn't allow my phone to connect.
Your error sounds like it is being caused by something on the phone end though so i dont know if that will help.
Those with remote desktop working can you get it to go landscape? Mine works fine except i can't get landscape mode. Also anyone know of a app that can send wake up requests to a machine? I have this on my laptop so i can wake my pc over the internet and then log in. Anything similar out there for win mobile?
allowing a connection through windows firewall alone is not helping, if you have other system securtiy programs that also has a firewall. or maybe your router has a firewall too. you should try and forward the right port (3389) in the software of your router.
I opened port 3389 on the router, I activated the correct remote desktop option on the PC (Vista), the IP is right (wrong IP adress throws a different error, so the program gets that far)...
I guess you have Windows 7 Home version
Have you tried using 16 bit high colour option? Mine said it couldn't connect when i turned it down to 256 colours.
Edit: Windows 7 x64 btw
OK on my windows7 x64 ive turned on remote desktop and set it to allow connections (2nd option) and i still cant connect, what do i type in user/pass on the hd2
-ive setup the portforwarding on my bethere box
-tryed both color modes on hd2
does it have to be over wifi or can it be over 3g?
Your user name and password for windows.
You MUST have a password set up on your windows account to be able to use remote desktop. If you don't have a password set up remote desktop and other network related access will not work. I.e using the phone to access shared windows folders.

ok ive added a password to my pc but still wont work, i think i tmay be something todo with this steps
2. Open a web browser, and type 192.168.1.1 to access your router. If you don't know the default username and password (usually admin/password), Google for it.
3. Enter port forwarding. Add a new entry using your local IP address, and the start/end port of 3389.

my router is a THOMSON TG585v7 and to log into it i need to type http://192.168.1.254 so i did and the only thing like port forwarding i can find is the Toolbox\Game & Application Sharing menu and in their i can type the ports but cant type the local IP address as their no where to add it, ive added a pic that might help you help me
If you are accessing the machine via your wifi(i.e your own network) you should be able to do it without any port forwarding.
So punch in your machines local IP and your username and password. That should work(make sure it is using your WiFi and not still connecting via 3G). If you wanted to be able to do it via 3G/wifi(external network) then you will need to get port forwarding working.
Edit: Port forwarding guide for you. I think this is roughly the same version of router you have just different branding.

so in the last part of the setup i need to manually define it as the local ip, still not working if that's what i should do
The last step is applying the forwarding to your PC. So you should be able to pick your PCs name in the drop down box.
Have you tried just doing it over your local wireless network(forget about port forwarding for a minute.) Enter the local IP(could also just try entering the name of the PC though im not sure if that works) of your PC as the computer then your user name and password.
can anyone give me a step by step guide on how to configure the remote desktop? btw i am using windows 7
On the Phone in Remote desktop mobile :-
In the box Computer put your pc's IP address
In the box User put the pc's users registered name (not the computers name) ie the name you use when you log on to your pc guest user etc.
In the box password put in your pc login password
In the box Domain put the full computer name found under my computer properties.
On your pc under my computer properties - remote - tick allow remote access
You should be ok to go - make sure your phone has a data/internet setting enabled and is active.

Oh and don't forget to adjust your firewall settings to allow your HD access

thank you very much, it funny how you give the simplest instructions and it all works in one go and the rest are so complicated etc haha thanks man
ah there always has to be a problem, 1) i cant see the keyboard even witout full screen. 2) when i try to login i get an error "Logon failure: user account restriction. Possible reasons are blank passwords not allowed. Logon hour restrictions, or a policy restriction has been enforced" HELP!!
I had the keyboard problem too.
I use finger keyboard and in the display option of Remote Desktop I ticked "Fit to remote desktop" Be careful it allows you to tick the other box as well.
Also colours = High Color.
As to the other messages it must be a Windows 7 issue of more parameters having to be entered.Also I log off on my pc before I connect.
Hope this helps
