Background Sipdroid autostarts when WIFI is detected #721

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
When the system starts up, Sipdroid's process stays hidden and starts whenever 
WIFI is detected. 

This is a security risk because when the device is connected to a public WI-FI 
hotspot, user's SIP credentials are exposed to the public in plain text. As a 
work around, the user can start the Sipdroid frontend manually, then Exit, then 
connect to the public hotspot safely. But many users tend to forget about the 
app running in the background when they need internet access, and by the time 
they realize it it'll be too late.

A fix would be to have a option in Sipdroid to allow the user to launch the 
application manually.

Note this is not the same issue as 124

You can setup a VPN... Or you can use PBXES.ORG.

But I concur that having an option to start Sipdroid manually should be feature.
