Proxy not applied globally?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Just tried the 1.7.2 beta on my SG S with stock 2.3.5.

- It works with Opera with "Use global proxy" and "Use socks proxy" checked.

- It does not work for K9 Mail (and probably other apps) with or without "use 
socks proxy" checked.

tcpdump -n dst port 143 on my mail server shows connections coming from my 
actual IP address, not from the remote server I have SSH (and tcp forwarding) 
running on.

Note that wit a laptop I can tunnel correctly through the server.

I've noticed this too, through comparing headers using K9 with a commercial 
email provider and with the Android Gmail app. I also tried turning off 
background sync until SSH Tunnel is connected, but am still showing my ISP or 
mobile provider IP.

Same thing here, global proxy doesn't work. However it works when running 
ProxyDroid (same author). If ProxyDroid is started first, the SSH cannot 
connect. It would be better if the feature worked in SSH Tunnel.

I made it work by replacing iptables with a script that add the correct 
entries. I compared the iptables entries from running ProxyDroid and SSH Tunnel 
and it seems that the iptables for the "Socks" redirect are wrong; only ports 
80 and 443 were forwarded. We expect all ports to be forwarded to the SOCKS 
proxy.

Now the only remaining problem is that I get packet corrupt messages as soon as 
I start using the device with Internet. I will try SSH Tunnel to see if the 
problem is with the OpenSSH client from the beta or with my server.

Fixing the iptables work 100% with SSH Tunnel and SOCKS enabled. However, the 
compression is disabled in the official version (there is no compression option 
like in ConnectBot). That would be an easy addition.

The BETA version would work great as we have control of the compression option 
in ssh.sh except it seems to fail because of the OpenSSH client (named 
sshtunnel) reporting corrupted packets. Need to find a working SSH client for 
Android that would work with SSH Tunnel BETA.

Still got the same problem. Doesn't look like the dev is bothering to address 
it.
