The curse of TLS 1.2 does its job again. I swear it exists merely to kill old device hardware given the intelligence agencies in the five eyes alliance do shit anyway to break any encryption before its allowed to be made public.

Anyway my point is. is there a way to tunnel connections requiring tls1.2 other than a http web proxy (which tend to break sites anyway when used due to interfering js, and would trigger "hurrdurr the location is sus"? eBay, for instance, loads but the CSS is all fucked up due to their CDN being on a https tls1.2 resource.

Holy shit. Holy fucking shit.

I have spent tbe last several hours looking for a browser supportibg TLS 1.2, and it seems like Firefox 23 to 47 have both an Android v9 API version and TLS 1.2 support.

31.3 ESR worked for me :P

Seems possible, but those specs are big yike. Should've gotten an S4

Also, did you mean GT-S5380i? S5180i doesn't exist.

If you're talking about what i think you are, the issue isn't partiuclarly the TLS suites or version, but a root certificate expiry, and possibly other similar ones. LetsEncrypt is the one that comes to mind.

No, Android pre-4.1 does not support TLS 1.1, or 1.2.
