Hello,

is it possible to add a backup restore function to be able to copy all parameters on another phone?

I believe it's difficult because in rules app seems identified by their id number and not their package name and id number is different on every phone

thanks
[Android Apps and Games] SandroBSupp:
There is no backup/restore but it could be done. All data is stored in sqlite database.
[Android Apps and Games] cook:
it should be very good because copy rules to another device is a painful task now

Also, is there a chance to add a setting to use VPN mode or not, because the vpn dialog only shows the first time. So to deactivate vpn mode we have to go to vpn settings and delete the drony vpn.
[Android Apps and Games] xdamohs:
Hi,

I am trying to use Drony in an android x86 emulator called Genymotion which runs on virtual box, but when VPN mode is activated the emulator crashes because the host(genymotion) establishes connection to android on port 22469 and when vpn mode is activated the connection is lost and emulator crashes. Tried setting direct rule for port 22469 and also for host ip, but doesn't solve the issue. Is there rule or setting to ignore local connections from vpn mode.

BTW..Thanks for the app , helps me use my phone with proxy
[Android Apps and Games] SandroBSupp:
Surely it will lost communications when vpn is activated, because all connections are dropped.

Not sure if Drony can help you with that. Maybe just to use drony without vpn mode?

Chain proxy with Orbot not working

Please help me with the Drony+Orbot chain proxy!

I did everything by the instructions, yet "No chain proxy" on the notification screen.

- unrooted 5.1.1

- system-wide Wifi proxy is None

- no other apps running

- Drony 1.3.100 APK installed from apk-dl dot com

- Drony Settings -> Wifi -> <my Wifi> -> Proxy chain: Enabled

- Drony Settings -> Wifi -> <my Wifi> -> Proxy chain -> Edit local proxy chain -> Orbot: enable, SOCKS4: 9050, DNS port: 5400

- Log -> ON, proxy listening in ports 8019 and 8020

- Android notification screen: "VPN is activated by Drony - Connected to SandroProxyVPN local"

- Android notification screen: "Drony <my Wifi SSID> Orbot:9050 Dns:5400 No chain proxy"

- Drony Settings -> Wifi -> <my Wifi> -> Proxy chain -> Edit local proxy chain -> Orbot: activate

- Orbot starts up properly, no VPN, no bridges

- standard browser "Internet" started up with https check.torbrowser dot com, shows "Sorry you are not using Tor" + real IP

- Drony -> Connections shows Orbot, Internet, and Drony as Active, all with green checkmarks

- Drony -> Filter shows Orbot CONNECT 9001 + Internet CONNECT 443, both with green checkmarks

What do I do wrong? Please help!
[Android Apps and Games] SandroBSupp:
There was change about using this. You need to set also some rule to use local proxy.

Check this video how to setup for use Clash of Clans.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9ftK6S__bo
[Android Apps and Games] nienufroo:
Thanks a lot for your quick and prompt response! My problem is solved now!

Thus, your video-suggested trick was:

Drony -> Wifi -> <my Wifi> -> Edit filter rules -> Add -> choose App with Action: Local proxy chain

(presuming that Filter default value is set to Allow)

In my case, I need to route everything on Wifi via Tor, so this works also:

Drony -> Wifi -> <my Wifi> -> Filter default value -> Local proxy chain all

(without specifying single Rules)

So thanks again, SandroBSupp - Drony is a great app, and I also appreciate your continuous support that you have done for many years!
[Android Apps and Games] nienufroo:
One additional question: Does Drony itself use its own local proxy chain?

E.g., when it contacts the Google ad servers, gstatic, doubleclick etc. for its embedded ads (bottom of screen).

Ad-related traffic does not show up in the Filter section, but I get occasional name resolver errors in the Log because of googleads.g.doubleclick dot net - so there is definitely some ad-related traffic going on.

Filter rules cannot be added for the Drony app (it is not in the dropdown menu), so I cannot explicitly set the local proxy chain for it.

It would be a serious security breach if Drony contacted directly those ad servers from my real IP, in case I want ALL my traffic redirected via Orbot/Tor.

Please confirm that this is not the case!
[Android Apps and Games] SandroBSupp:
Hm, I think it does, but be sure to use just vpn mode, no android os proxy settings to localhost 8020.

Local proxy chain is used only on vpn mode as stated in description of app in Google Play.

Please check FAQ section.

You can also set rules by site for all apps. ;)

Let me know if you find still some problems. Will check more firmly.
[Android Apps and Games] nienufroo:
The local proxy chain works just fine! The new question is whether Drony contacts its ad-servers (googlesyndication, doubleclick, google-analytics) via Orbot/Tor, or not?

Drony -> Connections -> Connection details show Orbot AND Drony in the list (which could mean that Drony is NOT going out via Orbot).

Drony -> Filter shows only Orbot, not Drony. This is because filter rules can NOT be configured for the Drony app itself (it is NOT in the Add filter rule dropdown list).

On the video, you seemed to have a nice dev environment, running the Drony APK in Chrome.

Could you please use my settings from above and check your firewall traffic?

You can see easily if Drony makes a direct request to those ad sites, or does it use the Orbot/Tor connection (that cannot be configured explicitly)?

(Offtopic: I tried to see my router's traffic, but I could not configure it properly. Basically, the router takes only 15-character device names for parental control, and my phone's device name is in the "android-1234567890abcdef" form, and I cannot change that in an unrooted phone!)
[Android Apps and Games] SandroBSupp:
You are right. Drony contacts its ads server NOT via local chain proxy. :(

Will try to fix this asap. Thank you for noticing and reporting.

This was fixed before and even when Orbot/Tor was local chain proxy, there was switch not to use ads and analytics.

Will fix this that will work as was intent to.
[Android Apps and Games] SandroBSupp:
Fixed with new version on Google Play (1.3.101). Let me know if it works for you.

- Drony also uses local chain for it's traffic

- If Orbot is in local chain no ads and analytics is used in Drony

Drony Power Consumption

Thanks again for consistently improving this wonderful app!

I've a quick feedback on the power consumption of Drony - I've noticed that since 1.3.100 build, Drony is drawing much more power than it was earlier. This is the case even when the app is running in the background and there is no UI. It would be good that this can be looked into.

Some ideas to improve power efficiency could be: include an option to not update notification all the time, include an option to disable connections tab or collect only raw logs, improve filtering performance (for example for host filtering, use a in-memory hash table rather than using regex).

Thanks and all the best
[Android Apps and Games] SandroBSupp:
There were many changes so it's really time to look at performance again more firmly.

Thanks for noticing.

why drony has problem when playing youtube or downloading apps from play store ?

sometimes when i disable drony, and put it on again, it works..

is there any ways to setup drony using 2 proxy server ? such as, when playing youtube, using proxy with http method, the other apps using socks method.

or can use 2 different proxy ip address, youtube using http method on proxy ip 192.168.0.1 port 3128, other apps using socks methond on proxy ip 192.168.0.2 port 1080 ? possible ?
[Android Apps and Games] SandroBSupp:
It should work all the time. No resets required. Please send more info to help you out on this issue.

Curently there is no way to set different proxy for apps. But it's interesting idea, could be done, but no one required it so far...

It could be done as rule action. So far are just DIRECT,ALLOW,DENY,LOCAL_PROXY
[Android Apps and Games] hendry:
i made a video for u to see the problem..

here it is

https://www.dropbox.com/s/2ejkil1nobydv4x/screenrecorder.20160322091626.mp4?dl=0

downloading apps from playstore cannot start, but when i turn drony off and on again, it will start, but sometimes..

playing youtube mostly cannot start.

but the internet is actually working if playing youtube using windows pc.
[Android Apps and Games] SandroBSupp:
Can you send device logs to supp.sandrob@gmail.com.

One reason would be that vpn mode is not used for all apps.

Try to set android os wifi proxy to localhost 8020.

[Android Apps and Games] d15sh:
Thanks for the latest features including DNSCrypt and pdnsd! This application is getting better with each release :)

I'm a little concerned about the power consumption of the app though. Please see the screenshot below - it looks like the app is consuming a lot of power! Here are the configurations I'm using

Auto start for Wifi and 3G networks

No proxy for either Wifi or 3G

Proxy not visible from outside

No local proxy chain

App Filters - about 10 apps blocked from network access

URL Filters - about 30 filters for hostname/domain. No filter for port or method

DNSCrypt and pdnsd turned on - this was turned on only recently with the 1.3.102 release but the power issues have been persisting since previous releases as well

The device is Nexus 5X, non-rooted. I'm afraid I won't be able to share any logs since I don't have a USB-C to USB cable to connect it to a laptop.

Please let me know if I'm configured Drony incorrectly and that's the reason for the power consumption. Is there something else I should be doing?

Thanks again and keep up the wonderful work!!!

[Android Apps and Games] SandroBSupp:
One reason for higher cpu usage are ads. Was looking how to reduce it but so far no success.

One trick is to close Drony gui. It still runs in background.

Other reason could be recently added feature to store data usage per connection.

Will take some testing and try to improve usage to next release.

In next release will be also local dns mapping.

So user can specify how dns resolves hostnames.

Thanks for this new version.

Is it possible when importing hosts list to rename all 127.0.0.1 to 0.0.0.0 because now we can have duplicate when different hosts list from different sources are merged. one with 0.0.0.0 and one with 127.0.0.1.

when import very big black list (eg. the biggest from http://hosts-file.net/?s=Download) drony force close. probably memory problem.

is it possible to import gzip zip... compressed hosts files?

could you provide advise fot best ad blocking? use openDNS dnscrypt + host file +...?

looks promising.

Drony autostart?

Ideally, Drony should start up before (or around) Orbot, but Orbot may be set to start at boot.

Any apps recommended to make Drony (or its services) autostart at boot?

Or any apps to grant Drony an android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED?

Or is it enough to tweak the AndroidManifest.xml for this permission?

Or could there be a setting option for autostart on boot (like in Orbot)?

...SandroB? :)

Drony can starts when wifi goes on. Doesn't this solve also your problem?

I believe memory problems with huge black list is quite "normal".

Is it possible to rename all 127.0.0.1 to 0.0.0.0 to avoid duplicated entry when merge different black list from different sources? some are still using 127.0.0.1 instead of 0.0.0.0

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] SandroBSupp:
I will store list in sqlite database and put indexes on it so search will be more efficient.

In memory will then be just maybe 1000 recent mappings other will be in database.

Please send mail so I can send you apk to test, when will be ready.

Renaming. Will look how to do this. Maybe just some settings to what value map 127.0.0.1 and 0.0.0.0.

You can already change existing mappings, but just one by one.
[Android Apps and Games] cook:
Hello,

I read in any case (ie even if not duplicate problem) 0.0.0.0 is better than 127.0.0.1 because not waiting for timeout.

So easiest to change all to 0.0.0.0 when importing I think.

email sent via PM
[Android Apps and Games] SandroBSupp:
I send you apk to test changes. Let me know how it goes.
[Android Apps and Games] cook:
looks very very nice. Some remarks :

1- 7Zip compressed files cannot be read eg: http://rlwpx.free.fr/WPFF/hpub.7z

That's sad become Airelle's blacklist http://rlwpx.free.fr/WPFF/hosts.htm is a good one.

2- One small bug. when correcting url of one existing blacklist, the "floppy" icon stay greyed and so it's impossible to save this change.

I would like to suggest 4 options:

3- always share Hosts blacklist source between all Wifi network and "not listed" network there will be only few and I see no reason this is network dependant

4- to be able to share imported blacklist (same logic than "rules" first drop box with network choice or "all networks") between all Wifi network and "not listed" network.

5- when adding manually a domain in blacklist, delete all the redundant mapping of relative subdomains if exist.

6- have an option when importing blacklist "blacklist the whole domain if subdomains appears more than X times in the blacklist" I think this can help keeping blacklist light.

Thanks again for your work.

Nota: I would be happy to buy pro version on market without ads if exist.
[Android Apps and Games] SandroBSupp:
:)

Will try to incorporate this too. And you don't need that automatically check and refresh if list is changed? ;)
[Android Apps and Games] cook:
If it's easy to do of course should be a good idea.

By the way a setting backup to a file to be able to export/import settings between multiple devices easily

One other thing I experience sometimes communication error when browsing. refresh the page make it ok. never happened without drony but maybe it's just a coincidence.

[Android Apps and Games] SandroBSupp:
1. NOT done. Needs some external libraries to parse 7zip so decide not to do it.

2. floppy is for storing parsed list not urls. Urls are stored under + sign action

3. 4. 5. Done.

You can wildcard domain with starting string with dot for example .twitter.com will remap all that contains twitter.com

There is common dns mappings. Under each wifi you have flag if common mappings should be used.
[Android Apps and Games] cook:
1. OK. can we use local storage (sd card) or network storage (samba) to inport blacklist from or only URL?

2. When click arrow down to go to URL page we can select the URL from the 1st drop box then we can edit it from the second field but no way to save this change. with + can only add no change existing one. sure can delete then recreate.

Thanks for everything.

Do you know why, often in https:, we have browsing error when use drony. refresh the page 2 or 3 times and it's ok.

Drony will really become a life savier on not rooted devices.

- Proxy to overvome some site geographic limitations.

- Choose DNS to avoid or add (familysafe) censorship

- URL blancklist to avoid Ads and malware site.

Quite everything needed in one software. The only pity is adblock do not work well with localchain (in any case adblock is now deprecated in my point of vue) and there is no "uBlocks origin" standalone application. hope uBlocks origin team will do something more than the excellent mobile Firefox plugin.
[Android Apps and Games] the01:
Managed to fix this with a factory reset. It's now working as it had on my other devices. Not sure what was causing this, but there was an abnormally high amount of power draw from the android system as well. I think that something must have been polling for data a lot.

[Android Apps and Games] SandroBSupp:

[Android Apps and Games] d15sh:
Ok, thanks for the quick response!
[Android Apps and Games] nienufroo:
No, it does not solve my problem.

Many apps are also waiting for the wifi to go online immediately.

Drony should be the fastest and catch the others with its VPN.

This is not guaranteed when wifi goes on.

Starting up Drony at boot would be nice, because I have to start it up manually anyway.

There is another related problem situation:

If I lose power with wifi on, then wifi will autostart at reboot.

Drony will not start at boot, but other apps will, and go online directly (not via Drony) when the wifi goes on.

Full solution would be Drony startup at boot in combination with another app that DISABLES wifi at startup.

Anyone aware of such an app?

Thanks for your time!
[Android Apps and Games] SandroBSupp:
Even if drony is not the fastest it creates new network interface that all other app then use.

What seems like a bug is that doesn't start after boot when wifi appears. Will retest this, if there are any problems.
