Hi Ragib,
yes I only use the in-built browser and Android Market and they both work well.
but before setting up ConnectBot and ProxyDroid, you need to root your android device first. I used z4root to do this.
p.s I was also frustrated by the VPN support from android and that’s why I was excited when I found this tutorial and Seb’s comment.

Johnny, just confirming, using those 2 apps we can connect to the internet using similar settings to those in this article? And we can do it in the stock android browser? I’ve got a honeycomb tablet and have been frustrated trying to connect it through VPN. sigh.

Hey Matt,
In response to your question, it is possible to set up a tunnel on an android device using an application called connect bot. However, if you then wish to set up your proxy settings, you will need to download the Firefox web browser for your android. There are heaps of tutorials on setting up firefox to work through a proxy if you do a quick google search.
Good Luck

Since android is based on a linux kernel,
Just helping anyone out with an android phone who felt abandoned by the VPN thing:
The two apps you need are TransparentProxy and ConnectBot, the rest is explained in the above article.

agreed! VPN is definitely now the way to go. It is a little confusing to setup as the instructions on the IT helpdesk are pretty bad. I’ll post up some later this week if people need it. Remeber the “!10″ after user name will open all ports too

Firstly all internet on campus is now free. Secondly, as of Snow Leopard Mac have Cisco VPN networking built in so you don’t have to use the shitty program that the Uni provides. I’ll leave it as an exercise for the reader to Google the instructions on how to set this up from the IT Helpdesk.
