Does the network on your Android device have highly restricted and/or monitored internet access? Looking for a simple and easy solution to your deprivation or lack of online privacy? SSH Tunnel for Android is a free, simple tool that provides secure, encrypted web access on your device via SSH (Secure Shell) tunneling. The app allows you to enable SSH tunneling selectively as well as globally, that is, you can enable tunneling for individual apps of your choice or for every app on your device with a single tap. The latter provision, however, requires root access. More after the break.


To enable SSH tunneling, launch the app from your app drawer and enable Tunnel Switch from the top of the settings menu that appears, then scroll down to Feature Settings and tap Choose apps through proxy to select the apps for which you wish to enable SSH tunneling or enable Global Proxy to set up a secure tunnel for the whole system. From the same section of the menu, you may set the app to enable SSH tunneling automatically when a network is available. The app also sports the option to create separate
profiles for separate networks and/or SSH settings (Profiles > New Profile).
You can grab the app for free from the Android Market via the provided link or QR code.
