SSH Tunnel for Android System

Recommended Posts

Posted

SSHTunnel is a SSH tunnel app for Android System, based on Connectbot and Dropbear / OpenSSH (Beta Branch). With this app and a configured server (typically configured with sshd and nginx / squid), you can easily browse internet through a SSH tunnel on your android devices.

SSHTunnel is using redsocks (redsocks - transparent socks redirector) to redirect all traffic on Android. You can check out its source codes from: https://github.com/darkk/redsocks

Currently, the latest sshtunnel source codes can be found here: https://bitbucket.org/madeye/sshtunnel and the latest sshtunnel-beta can be found here: https://github.com/madeye/sshtunnel-beta

Notice

If you want to set up your own VPS to work with this app, please install and configure HTTP PROXY on your VPS first (typically squid or nginx). To support HTTPS (SSL), you must configure your http proxy to allow CONNECT Method on 443 port

Considering the poor performance of dynamic port forwarding on most android devices, we suggest you to use a transparent proxy set up in the SSH server and use local port forward to proxy data through SSH tunnel.

To work with your private/public key, please store your key (only OpenSSH format, not putty) as the file /sdcard/sshtunnel/key

IMPORTANT : This App uses a DNS Proxy to solve the DNS Pollution problem in China, which would try to fetch pre-defined HOSTS information from our web server. All these HOSTS files and source codes are open to public.
