Android Question Socket and Orbot

[fransvlaarhoven]

Hello,

I have installed Orbot (Tor project) on an android Phone

as far as know:
- Tor offers it's SOCKS proxy on port 9050
- Tor offers a transparant proxy on port 9040

when i do

Dim mysocket As Socket
mysocket.Initialize("mysocket")
mysocket.Connect(myServerName, myServerPort, servertimeOut)

is it possible to connect the socket using proxy provided by TOR instead of the normal connection?

Start with http requests. You can modify OkHttpUtils2 and configure the proxy: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/okhttputils-issue.84608/#post-535969

this will not work in the application because i must have a strict control over the bytes sended to the server.
The only way I know is using sockets but it might be there is another way?

It is worth testing it with OkHttp to see that it is working.

I've already done that, without proxy and it is not working, the server expects certain messages and is not able to handle requests in the format of a HTTP-request

Try it with the proxy setting.

then, how must i build the HTTP-request in order to make sure that no request method, empty lines, header fields etc are sended to the server but only the bytes that i want to send?

I only suggested it as the way to check whether you are able to make a connection over the proxy.

To answer your original question, the Network library doesn't allow you to set a proxy.
