I tried this the first time, with no luck. It doesn't get an IP address (just shows 0.0.0.0) when I do it. What phone/OS are you using?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hoopsbwc34:
Here's the pattern for me:

If I have any data connection and start the proxy I get 0.0.0.0

If I am connected via activesync (no data connection) I get 192.168.55.101 (but then I can't do anything because I have no data connection and I can't start one)

If I have no data connection and I'm not connected to USB I get 127.0.0.1
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mr_Gee:
Same here... :mad:

Maybe it has to do with the type of phone, which one do you have?

I have a diamond..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Zenoran:
activesync isn't ICS... you can't have activesync even loaded if you want to use ICS.. I actually disable usb connection from activesync when I want to use ICS...

If ICS is working properly it will assign 192.168.0.1 to your phone and your computer will get see a new adapter with that address set as the default gateway... you should be able to use internet just like normal (without a proxy) in ICS if it's working properly...

Where I find the socks proxy more useful is a bit more complicated... if you're on a work LAN all of your work applications would go through your work's default gateway even if you have ICS connected... default gateway basically routes all calls to the internet through one place so if you're in firefox it will route all your traffic through that gateway... the problem is you can't have more than one default gateway, anything that doesn't go through the default has to have static routes assigned which is a pain for internet browsing (so many diff addresses).

this is where the proxy comes in.. proxies forward ALL requests through the proxy server instead of going through default gateway... so when you setup a proxy in firefox as 192.168.0.1 it will use the ICS connection and tunnel all your requests through that instead of the default gateway, allowing you to remain on your work intranet and route specific apps through your phone by pointing them to the socks proxy...

If you guys aren't getting 192.168.0.1 in the proxy window once you click start then ICS probably isn't working right.. your first step would be to make sure ICS is working, then you can move on to the proxy.

if you go into CMD prompt and type 'ipconfig' you should see an adapter (which I renamed to WM) that looks something like this:

Ethernet adapter WM:

Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :

IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.102

Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0

Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.1

IME Activesync always conflicts with 'advanced networking' in wm so I always right click on tray icon, go to connections and uncheck usb...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hoopsbwc34:
I wish that was true, but ICS works fine. I get a new adapter and connection on my PC. When I check my ipconfig, it shows my "windows mobile connection" using gateway 192.168.0.1 just as you say. However the proxy program doesn't seem to bind to that address for some reason (just shows 0.0.0.0), so trying to set my proxy to use 192.168.0.1 doesn't do anything.

What phone do you have? Mr Gee and I both have HTC phones (I have the Touch, he has the Diamond)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Zenoran:
Ahhh interesting then ya it does appear to be a problem with the proxy app then... I'm using an HTC Titan (xv6800) with wm6.1 custom ROM... Just for verification, when ICS is loaded on my device it adds the 192.168.0.1 address in the list on the proxy app where you guys are apparently seeing the 0.0.0.0... This is in ADDITION to my internet ip address... so I have 2 in the box... I didn't really do anything special to get this working it just worked, surprisingly!

hope the dev can help you guys out this app is awesome for us with restrictive networks at work ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hoopsbwc34:
Any chance of getting the source code to take a look at these problems phasco?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pchasco:
SocksProxy source code

I've created an SVN repository of the source code. You can get it here:

https://pchasco.homedns.org/svn/SocksProxy/trunk

If you have changes you'd like to merge in, let me know and I can provide you with a user account with the appropriate permissions.

I regret that the software hasn't worked for a lot of you. I've only got one WM phone and it works on it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hoopsbwc34:
<<duplicate see below>>
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hoopsbwc34:
Thanks pchasco... I'd like to set it up to let me set the IP address (or as a hack just hard code it to the 192.168.0.1 IP). Can I set this in listerner.cs? It also says I can just set the IPAddress to IPAddress.Any to listen on all IP addresses.... maybe this would work?

I've got a friend who I think can help. If you can provide some guidance that would be great...thanks. Or if you had time to post a couple things to try that would be even better!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pchasco:
I'm already telling it to listen on any available IP address:

// From ApplicationForm.startStopButton_Click

Listener l = proxy.CreateSocksListener(System.Net.IPAddress.Any,
ushort.Parse(portTextBox.Text));

The text box below just lists IP addresses that are available on your handheld. If no IP address or only 0.0.0.0 is listed, then the application is unaware of any IPs. And it certainly cannot listen on IPs that it's not aware even exist.

I'll add a box to enter an IP, but I'm not sure whether it will make any difference for you.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pchasco:
Updated

I have updated the SVN respository and posted a new zip. See original post in thread.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sonofzeus:
hi, i previously had the problem where no ip would show up, i've tried the latest version and now i get the ip list, i choose one and configure firefox to use that one as the proxy server, however firefox says Connection Interrupted, The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading. The network link was interrupted while negotiating a connection. Please try again.

I first run internet connection sharing and once that is conected i run the proxy server and always get this message :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pchasco:
Why don't you try it without Internet Connection Sharing. You shouldn't need it for Proxy to work-- it may be the cause of your problem.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hoopsbwc34:
Thanks pchasco! There must have been some problem in trying to do "any" IP. Now, when I connect to ICS, then turn on the proxy I see two IPs including 192.168.0.1 (which is my ICS connection to my computer). I don't have the 0.0.0.0 IP any more!

I selected 192.168.0.1 IP specifically, and am typing this to you now using my proxy connection.

I do see the same problem as listed above. Intermittently I lose my connection and get that warning, or it takes a long time to load a page. Not sure why that is... I tried to run it without ICS and it doesn't work for me. Mainly because I did a tracert on the IP that the proxy is giving me in that case (192.168.55.101) and it routes it somewhere on my lan...

Thanks again!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sonofzeus:
same problem here, it gives me the same error message without ICS.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hoopsbwc34:
For those that are interested...I ran some speedtests through with ICS only, and with ICS and the proxy... the biggest difference was a longer latency delay with the proxy, not sure why that would be. I did the test several times and alternated back and forth, and these were pretty standard results.

Proxy:

ICS only:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hoopsbwc34:
Stopping and restarting the proxy when I get the Network errors cleans things up and gets it running again... not sure what causes the hang up. Maybe there is some clean-up that can be done in the program every once in a while to emulate disconnecting and reconnecting?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pchasco:
Can you post more specifics? What kind of network errors are you receiving?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hoopsbwc34:
Same as sonofzeus, connection gets reset or I get a server not responding. I'll notice in the status bar that the connection stops progressing (get's hung up at "connecting to ....") so I just stop and start the proxy and it starts going to the next step ("downloading" or whatever). I did notice this happened more if I had more than one tab in Firefox. If I kept browsing just one tab it seemed to happen less.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hoopsbwc34:
Just a follow up, it seems to especially struggle with AJAX web pages like facebook, gmail. I find I'm stopping and starting every 5-10 seconds or so to keep pages loading.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pchasco:
That makes sense if there's a leak. Maybe I'll have some time to look into it next week :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pchasco:
I am working on a J2ME version of this application. I will no longer be maintaining the .NET version of the application. The SVN repository for the .NET version will continue to be available. I have no plans on taking it down.

I have decided to switch to J2ME because I will be able to reuse source code in a future Android release -- that is, if Google or someone adds the ability for Android to have more than one IP address.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hoopsbwc34:
Let me know when it is ready and I'll try it out as well.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hoopsbwc34:
Any update on the J2ME version? I noticed the .NET version has a lot of trouble with AJAX and streaming type connections. I tried to use logmein, and it works great as a direct connection using Internet Sharing, but it never connects if I use the proxy. I'm hoping the new version improves in this area. Logmein would be a good tool to use as a test.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Zenoran:
any chance at vga version? squishes everything in a tiny little square on vga devices it seems :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hoopsbwc34:
Just a bump to let the op know I still check this every week to see if there is a J2EE version or any other updates. I'm still using the current version but it's AJAX issues make a new version welcome!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mr_Gee:
Another small bump, and a request for this or future versions.

I'd like to see VGA support and the ConnectionSharing integrated

just so I do not need to start 2 applications :-)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Zenoran:
blehhhh.. damn bumps making me think there's a new version... but noooooo!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] poorgrad:
Thanks for the good work. Once upon a time I wrote a SOCKS4 proxy for Windows 95.

I tried it out with my HTC touch connected over RNDIS to my Linux (Fedora) machine and was about to proxy requests from Firefox through the phone.

Is this a SOCKS5 or SOCKS4 proxy?

If it's a SOCKS5 proxy you can reroute DNS requests in Firefox to the proxy by setting network.proxy.socks_remote_dns to true. Maybe that will help with the network disconnects? Note that there is no UI to control this setting yet (see this FireFox bug). You need to set it in the about:config page.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hoopsbwc34:
I believe it is SOCKS5 (at least that is what I have Firefox proxy set to). I tried this config setting, but there was no noticeable improvement.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pchasco:
SocksProxy v.1.0 Reboot

All,

I've decided not to move forward with the J2ME version of SocksProxy. I will however be writing a new .NET CF version. The current version's proxy is based on code I ported from a proxy targeted to the standard .NET framework. Some features in the standard framework are absent in the compact framework. When porting the proxy I pretty much just did it as quick and dirty as I could because I really wanted something that just got the job done. I didn't care how stable or 'good' it was because I hadn't even intended on releasing it to anyone. Since it looks like there's still a lot of interest I will be writing a new one from scratch. Don't expect too much; It'll be the simplest thing that possibly works, but it'll be stable and reliable.

I'll be naming this version SocksProxy 1.0 Reboot. I'm not upping the version number because I'm really not going to be adding any new features.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pchasco:
SocksProxy v1.0 Reboot

I've completed the new proxy server. It looks pretty much like the old one, but I've anchored the controls to the edges so it should scale properly with VGA devices.

I've written a new Socks 4a proxy from scratch and completed ditched all the old code. It seems to be working pretty well, though a bit slow. I think I need to increase the size of my read buffers. I will have to write a smarter heuristic for determining the size of the buffer per connection though. I have them at 128 Kb now. I need to grow each buffer dynamically according to how it's being used, that way I don't create large buffers for connections that are only transfering small amounts before closing (downloading a small gif or javascript file, for example).

I'll probably release it tomorrow after some more testing.

BTW: I'm posting this through the proxy right now!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pchasco:
New SocksProxy version available.

I've completed the new version of SocksProxy. It implements socks version 4a. There is no security, so it will allow anyone to connect with any user id.

Please let me know of any issues you find.

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kostas66:
Hi pchasco,

a "little" question:

I actually have the possibility to acess a "company APN" and, through a proxy (with account and pw) to access the internet for free...

I was wondering if, as it is now or with some modifications, your proxy program is able to authenticate (with account and pw) to an external proxy and allow all programs (ie. Weather, that actually does not updates through a proxy) to access the internet... it could be, for me, the perfect solution !

Thanks a lot !

K
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pchasco:
I'm not quite sure I understand your question... Are you asking if it's possible to chain through to another proxy, or are you asking if it's possible to proxy traffic on the phone that doesn't normally support proxy through SocksProxy? The answer to both of those questions would be no. SocksProxy is a simple, no-frills proxy server.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kostas66:
Will try to explain better (will PM you, to avoid "spamming" your thread...).

Thanks for the reply.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hoopsbwc34:
I was able to get it installed and running here's what happened:

Wouldn't let me run because I had the wrong version of .NET CF, recommend the app tell you to download version 3.5

Wouldn't let me bring up any sites... firefox would just try to download them as application/octet-stream (tried google.com, facebook, xda-developers)

Noticed that the Kbps would spike for a second at around 1.X (in and out) then go back to 0 for 10-20 seconds, then spike again.

Let me know if there is more I can provide as far as details.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pchasco:
That's strange. Would you try it in IE and tell me what happens?

I believe on the original post I mentioned that you will need .NET 3.5 installed to your device to run the software. I cannot have the app tell you to install 3.5 because the app will not even load if 3.5 isn't present. It's a chicken and egg situation.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SlamTheDoor:
I got a lot of use out of the first version of this application but have a problem with the current version. The application crashes as soon as I try connecting through the proxy from my PC.

I have a Touch Diamond. As I said, the version of the proxy from last year has worked great for me. But this one immediately crashes when I attempt a connection. Any thoughts on why this happens?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pchasco:
I'm not sure what the problem is right now and I am not in a position to investigate the issue at the moment. I will look at it this weekend. I suppose it could be a concurrency issue that I didn't encounter when testing on my phone, though I am really just guessing at the moment.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jorgitobg:
proxy crash

hi,

i have the same problem than SlamTheDoor... just installed the proxy never work but allways crash with same error...

regards,
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hoopsbwc34:
pchasco... not sure if you are still maintaing this... but I have now tried this on Sprint's Touch and Treo Pro with the same result. Data transfers are so slow it just basically doesn't work. I did finally get a crash so I have some data that might help... here are the details:

Moblware.SocksProxy.exe
ObjectDisposedException
System.Net.Sockets.Socket
at
System.Net.Sockets.Socket.throwIfDisposed()
at
System.Net.Scokets.Socket.get_remoteEndPoint()
at
Mobleware.SocksProxy2.proxyServer.AcceptAndSpawnProxySession(TcpListenerlistener)
at
Mobleware.SocksProxy2.ProxyServer.Serve()

I am able to ping the proxy (192.168.0.1) with delays between 20-40ms (which by itself seems long). But data transfers crawl, and often just don't work.

Thanks.

Howecver, after installing the app, when I try to start it, I get the errors captured in the screen shot.

Any ideas?
