-Working around Android's proxy shortcomings
-===========================================
-
-In response to Android's proxy situation, a number of apps have been created to
-duct-tape proxy support onto the OS. These tools work by running a rudimentary
-local proxy on the device, and forwarding all traffic destined for HTTP/S ports
-to it using iptables. Since the proxy is running locally, it can detect what
-the final IP address of the redirected traffic would have been. The local proxy
-then connects to a user-configured upstream proxy, and initiates a proxy
-CONNECT request to the destination IP.
-
-Now, if the configured upstream proxy is mitmproxy, we have a slight problem.
-Proxy requests from the Android device in this scheme will specify only the
-destination IP address, __not__ the destination domain. Mitmproxy needs the
-target domain to generate a valid interception certificate. The solution is
-mitmproxy's [upstream certificate](@!urlTo("upstreamcerts.html")!@) option.
-When this is active, mitmproxy makes a connection to the upstream server to
-obtain the certificate Common Name and Subject Alternative Names.
-
-Adding all this together, we can achieve reliable Android interception with
-only a few more minutes of setup. The instructions below show how to set up an
-Android device with
-[ProxyDroid](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.proxydroid) (the
-local "duct-tape" proxy implementation) to achieve interception.
-
-Install ProxyDroid
-------------------
-
-First, root your device - this is required to install ProxyDroid. Then install
-ProxyDroid from the Google Play store:
-
-
-
-You will be prompted for super-user access, which you must allow. Next, enter
-the ProxyDroid settings, and change the proxy settings to point to your
-mitmproxy instance. When you're done, it should look something like this:
-
-
-
-In this case, our mitmproxy instance is at the host __maru.otago.ac.nz__,
-running on port __8080__.
-
-When you start mitmproxy, make sure that the upstream certificate option is set
-(use the _--upstream-cert_ command-line option, or enable it interactively
-using the _o_ shortcut):
-
-
-mitmproxy --upstream-cert
