[guardian-dev] supporting SOCKS on Android via a custom SocketFactory

Tue Sep 6 05:48:57 EDT 2016

The Briar folks are working on getting HTTP connections on Android to go
through Tor via SOCKS.  They used a custom SocketFactory and Socket
subclasses, with their own SOCKS handling.

Could we use this approach in NetCipher?  I think Torsten that said this
approach requires android-14 at least, but we could just use HTTP
proxies to support older platforms.
