TLS/SSL Tunnel Analysis

Not written by CNET Staff.

TLS/SSL Tunnel is an Android application designed for secure communication by establishing TLS connections to remote applications. This utility allows users to create tunnels for terminal programs, enabling a secure connection to services that support TLS. Notably, it does not require root access, making it accessible for a wider range of users. The application supports CAcert certificates and provides functionality for users to work with self-signed certificates efficiently. With a user-friendly interface, it simplifies the process of connecting to secure remote applications without direct access to those applications.

Top Recommended Alternative

The application offers two methods for handling self-signed certificates: users can either add the certificate to the Android keystore or import it through the app itself. This flexibility enhances usability, particularly for those managing their certificates. However, users should be aware of some reported compatibility issues with Android 8.1 (Oreo), which may affect performance. Overall, TLS/SSL Tunnel is a valuable tool for users needing secure connections to remote TLS-enabled services.

Developer’s Description

TLS/SSL Tunnel provides TLS Connections for other (terminal) programs like ConnectBot from a local port to a remote TLS secured application.

TLS/SSL Tunnel provides TLS Connections for other (terminal) programs like ConnectBot from a local port to a remote TLS secured application. Create and open your tunnel and connect with your terminal program to the local port instead.

* No root neccessary.

* supports CAcert certificates

* only for services with TLS support on remote side.

Rights:

* Internet access is needed for obvious reasons :)

* Apps2SD is not supported as we need a background service to manage tunnels and connections.

* Read from external Storage is needed to import certificates from device storage.

Note:

If you need to use a self signed certificate, you have two options now:

1.) You can add it to you standard Android keystore via (Settings > Security > Install from SD Card)

2.) You can Import the Certificate from within Tunnel and configure your Tunnel to use "Custom Cert Store")

3.) In order to import "file.pem" from local storage type the filename or use "file:" as prefix. The file will be searched in the local "external storage area" (normally /storage/emulated/0 but YMMV)

(I have some reports that this App might not work on Oreo / Android 8.1)
