Global proxy not working in Android Lollipop 5.0

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
Attempt to connect using SSHTunnel in Android Lollipop using a Nexus 5. Stock 
ROM, rooted with SuperSU

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
After successfully connecting with SSHTunnel, I opened the web browser and went 
to ifconfig.me to view my IP address. Expected IP address did not match SSH 
host, but was my current (routable) wifi address

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.5.6 on Android Lollipop 5.0 stock OTA ROM, rooted with SuperSU on a Nexus 5

I'm also having this issue. Noticed that some other apps using iptables don't 
work properly too.

Is it me? or it's not just Global Proxy.  But everything else simply failed to 
work, regardless if it's individual proxy, global proxy, or "GFW" (Great 
Firewall of China) proxy (which never worked for me at first place.

I am also running stock Android on Nexus 5 root with SuperSU, nothing more, not 
even customized recovery.

Any pointer on how to provide more information is much appreciated.  thanks in 
advance

Same issue for me on Moto G (falcon) running Android 5.0.2 cm12 nightly.

Confirmed here as well, its not just this app too I have been unable to get any 
ssh app to redirect traffic through tunnel since the 5.0 update. Doesn't appear 
the sev is really interested in supporting this since there hasn't been an 
update in months.

Same problem with LG G3 and SSHTunnel. But no problems with ConnectBot + 
ProxyDroid.

Is there any chance SSHTuneel works on Lollipop in near future.
I'm using ConnectBot + ProxyDroid but it's not so stylish as SSHTuneel ;)

Hello,

There is a fix in xda for PIE error, check this 
http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/development/fix-bypassing-pie-sec
urity-check-t2797731

You have just to flash the zip on recovery but read carefuly the thread, not 
all devices are compatible.

it worked on my galaxy express 2 and i can use ssh tunnel on cm12.1  5.1.1

hope it's help.

I modded the apk and replaced the iptables and redsocks with the one inside 
proxydroid

Can be found here: 
https://mega.co.nz/#!bdFlDapC!EIwUNQoCg4WC3f8qKAvnIU2xyj1aSHOv4LErN2pTFPw

As the main problem is due to PIE error:
error: only position independent executables (PIE) are supported.

If you want to mod the apk yourself:

- get both proxydroid apk and sshtunnel apk
- open both apk with winrar 
- copy redsocks and iptables from proxydroid apk /assets/api-16/ to sshtunnel 
apk /assets/ 
- zipalign the apk 
- signapk

Steps described in post #12 works for me

I use redsocks for another application with the same problem.
I then extracted the redsocks from the APK
The problem is that this version don't include redudp.
Can "devunder..." author of post #12 recompile with redudp support ?
or tell me how to do it ? 
I don't have linux...
