Does connecting to Alljoyn disconnect wifi - android-wifi

I came across few WiFi based sharing applications which disconnect my phone's Internet connection. I was wondering if connecting and communicating using Alljoyn has the same effect.
Does it disconnect?

No, it does not. Alljoyn is just a protocol which works over WiFi. (Or in some cases Bluetooth, but WiFi or Ethernet are the normal transports for Alljoyn.)

Can Chrome websockets be used by other applications?

I am trying to make myself familiar with websockets. It is possible to create tunnels with websockets
https://github.com/erebe/wstunnel
You can even tunnel VPN protocols like wireguard through it.
Would it be possible to use Chrome and Nginx in a similar way?
A websocket connection is established between both. A client uses the websocket of Chrome to funnel its traffic through the tunnel. On the nginx end data leaves the tunnel and gets forwarded to the internet.
Like: Client --> Chrome Websocket --> Websocket Tunnel --> Server --> Internet
Will this work in principle? Can clients (like other programs running on the machine or different devices on the network) use the websockets opened by Chrome? Is there a limitation on what the client can be? Are websockets standardized in a way that they are compatible (like a wstunnel client but nginx endpoint)?

Secure webSocket on local network for android browsers

I am trying to run a web on my local network that connects to the server through a websocket. When I test it from the same machine that is serving the web (localhost) it works fine but when I try to access the web from my android phone with chrome I get "net::ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED". It seems that chrome refused all connections to localhost that are not certificated.
I have installed a self certification with the hope that using secure websockets and the certification it would work... Now I can access from localhost as https but I am unable to access from other devices without geting "This Connection is Untrusted"
There is any way to create a certified local network where I can browse to https://192.168.0.x (server IP) from other device and use websockets or secure websockets?
I am open to read other solutions where websockets work in a local network from an android browser.

Firefox/Chrome unable to connect to sites on VMWare Guest

I'm seeing this problem connecting to most sites when connected to our office LAN.
I'm running a VM (using VMWare Workstation 15 Player) running Win10. The host is also Win10.
Your connection is not secure
The owner of www.google.com has configured their web site improperly. To protect your information from being stolen, Firefox has not connected to this web site.
This site uses HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) to specify that Firefox only connect to it securely. As a result, it is not possible to add an exception for this certificate.
Advanced shows
Error code: SEC_ERROR_UNKNOWN_ISSUER
The network connection is "NAT: Used to share the host's IP address".
I had Avast installed and uninstalled it so ensure it was not blocking the connections.
I do not get this error on the host machine
If I connect the host machine to our corporate VPN or use a Wifi connection, I do not get this error.
The date and time are also correct.
Is there something that VMWare Player is doing to the connection?

Ethernet port on Apple TV

What ways is the Ethernet port accessible to apps in tvOS?
I can't find any documentation or mention of being able to use/access anything directly coming into the ethernet port in an app on tvOS.
EDIT: Additional INFO:
An Apple guy on their forums talking about Network access options across all OS's of Apple in their upcoming updates: https://forums.developer.apple.com/thread/6767
In this thread he's chatting with some others about something similar, specific to Mac, but this now seems to be relevant to all upcoming Apple OS's: https://forums.developer.apple.com/thread/6205
Three main things you will need to do: connectivity, discovery, and communication.
The ethernet port is expecting to be connected to a network. In your case, the Apple TV and your external controllers would each need to be clients connected to that network, likely through a hub or router. If the network does not have a DHCP server, you will need to manually configure the network connection for each device.
Discovery would be the next challenge. Each device will have a unique IP address on the network and you will need to come up with a method for the Apple TV to find the controllers IP address on the network. Perhaps this can be hard-coded if you are controlling the network, or if the controller is serving as the router.
Lastly, you will need to decide on a protocol that the Apple TV and controllers use to communicate. You could use a low level protocol such as TCP or UDP, or a higher protocol like HTTP is the controller wants to act as a web server.
This is an overly broad answer to a very broad question, but there is a lot involved in getting things like this to work.
Another note is that on the Apple TV, either the ethernet port is active or the Wifi connection, but not both. Connecting the ethernet port will lose any Wifi connection.

How to force a browser tab (chrome) to use wireless and another to use Ethernet cable?

I know that my question is a little awkward, but here's my situation:
I have two networks, one of them is accessible to me via wireless, and the other is accessible to me via an Ethernet cable.
If my laptop is connected to both networks, can I connect to website WW via the wireless network, and website EE via the Ethernet network, in two tabs in the same browser (Chrome) ?
Note: Assume both websites provide video streaming.
Note: Assume that website WW is blocked via Ethernet network, and website EE is blocked via wireless network.
My trials:
I tried to open website WW while laptop connected to wireless only, and then connect Ethernet cable, and open website EE. Result: Website WW closes connection via wireless, and tries to connect using Ethernet, hence stops streaming.
I tried to open website EE while laptop connected to Ethernet only, and then connect to wireless network, and open website WW. Result: Website EE keeps streaming, while WW never loads.
I'm using windows XP, latest google chrome. Any ideas?
If you can reconfigure the access point, you can do this:
1) setup the Wifi access point to be a router (so that it has a different IP address on its Ethernet and on its Wifi interfaces
2) setup the IP address of the wifi card on your PC to be in the IP network of the router (Wifi side)
3) setup a static route on the PC so that WW is accessed by going through the router, and a default route (used for EE) going through the Ethernet.
