Unable to use internet after sshtunnel failed

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Because it happened only once, I'm not sure..
1. Install sshtunnel, setup and activate it
2. It works, so leave it on for several hours
3. Phone goes flat and dies
4. When phone is charged and booted, all port 80 and 443 internet access is 
gone on WIFI only (3G works normally)
5. Reset and Remove menu options did nothing useful
6. Another Reboot did nothing useful
7. sshtunnel refuses to connect
8. iptables, http_proxy, https_proxy settings look normal (unset and clear)
9. removing and re-adding the wifi ap in the wifi settings doesnt help

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I expect to get the limited browsing allowed by my carrier, on the wireless

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

I'm running android 4.3 on a rooted galaxy s3 (UltimaRom v16.0). The sshtunnel 
is the one from the market: 1.5.6

Please provide any additional information below.

Just to be clear, 3G browsing works fine, only wifi browsing is affected

Check your http proxy settings in your wifi config.

i have checked the wifi config proxy settings, it is set to none. I have 
removed and re-added the settings for the wifi anyway, just in case. nada :(

ok, i have determined that the phone is having trouble resolving dns.. 

ping www.google.com
unknown hostname www.google.com

ping 8.8.8.8
64 bytes from 8.8.8.8 in 200ms

oh sorry false alarm.. that was just because ping on android needs root access:

#busybox ping www.google.com
64 bytes from 173.194.39.51L seq=1 time=134ms

ok strange, in the command line:

#cd /sdcard
#wget http://www.google.com/index.html
Connecting to www.google.com (173.194.39.50:80)
Connecting to www.google.ae (173.194.39.63:80)
index.html      100%  [***********************] 12975 0:00:00 ETA

So the command line wget can open a website, but the web browsers cannot - like 
chrome
