Motivation

To be able to workaround Petro-Canada Mobility/7-11 Speakout's proxied 3g data connection so that I can make free calls to a landline using a voip app such as Fongo. My previous solution was to use another app Droidvpn but this had two issues: 1) it is only free for 100 megs/day and 2) it requires a rooted android phone. Setting up and using my own server therefore removes the 100 meg/day limit and does not require a rooted android phone.
