Is there something missing from the MOJO to support OpenVPN? Just realized with the BBC app sideloaded + VPN things get nice for UK TV, but OpenVPN cannot connect to any server. The log shows that "socket_protect error" when trying to open, are we missing a module for the kernel?
Also, pls for kernel source! We need to do more with this little box

Anyone know if there is a vpn that works on nexus player yet? One that doesn't keep logs.
Yup. IPVanish doesn't keep logs and their Android app works on the Nexus Player.

I use PIA, I sideloaded the app on my Nexus Player, and it works fine, just don't try to use Netflix when connected to VPN, because it won't work. Apparently it's an issue with android, not Netflix.
The sideloaded "normal" Netflix app works with VPN, but it crashes if you try and click e.g. the subtitle button.

Any new VPN for the Nexus Player?
Thanks!
i tried Hotspot shield VPN Elite , connect OK , i open netflix , loads a long time, i can see the foreign Catalog , but when i tried to see anything popup a message that i using a Proxy server. D4MN!!
I use unlocator. It costs money and not free, but Is stable and reliable. It's configured on my home network and the NP works great with it (I use netflix, Pandora, bt, espn, bbc iplayer, nba...)
Anyone try sideloading expressvpn on nexus player?
I sideloaded F-Droid and I was able to install regular ol' OpenVPN for Android, which is supported by most if not all providers, including those that don't log.
Since NP is going to be tied to your home network, you really should consider implementing your VPN at the ROUTER level, not on your NP.
Hey guys, I need VPN client for Nexus Player connection to other private server through PPTP (not public service, just private with custom IP, login/pass). And problem that router without VPN connection support, so I need it on the device. Any suggestions?

I use PIA on mine. Sideloaded, sits sideways, guess you could fix that with some rotation app. Anyways I can connect with my remote and set it up to auto connect when I open it, I disconnect with my remote.

If I right understand what does you mean, this is third party service, isn't it? But I need direct connection to my own VPN server with PPTP.
Is there way to access inbuilt vpn settings or 3rd party app to enter own/custom vpn settings?
Hello Gent and Lady SATV Enthusiasts,
I need a little assistance setting up a VPN on my beloved SATV. Searching through various forums, I understand that a number of users have had success using either OpenVPN for Android or Open VPN Client "Free" installed via sideloading.
I would like to get either up and running if possible with the VPN service Pirvate Internet Access. When using OpenVPN the program, I am able to create a new profile and select username/password authentication. However, when I attempt to "select" my CA Certificate, I get an error pop-up that says, "You don't have an app that can do this." A bit curious, as I thought that OpenVPN for Android would be able to do it itself. For those of you who were able to select your CA Certificate, did you have some other program also installed on your SATV? Or was there another trick to it?
As for OpenVPN Client "Free" I was able to complete the setup. However, when connecting, it would briefly connect, then go through a loop of reconnecting, authenticating, reconnecting, authenticating, etc.
If anyone can offer some help on the matter, I would be greatly obliged. Thank you!
For the openvpn client free, are you using Ethernet by chance? It will continually connect and reconnect if you do. It only works right on Wi-Fi, I think the app was built assuming there would be no wired connection.
With openvpn for Android, I haven't used it, but someone else said they used es file explorer to select the cert and selected the app to open with.
Hey guys. Got a nexus player a few weeks ago and was able to sideload TorGuard on there. I can enter in my credentials and it authenticates, but when it goes to establish a connection it fails. Does anyone know how to get it to establish? On most recent stock OTA and not rooted. Also the bootloader is still locked.

I just got my NP today and am having the same problem getting TorGuard to run. I got it sideloaded OK and it seems to authenticate fine, but never establishes a connection. Were you able to figure this out? Any assistance would be enormously appreciated.
Thanks!

I read a web site that suggested loading openvpn installer and openvpn settings for the fire tv do you think it would work on the nexus player? ??
SOLVED!
You simply need to have TorGuard change your 'username' to something other than an email address --- the email address format (e.g. '@' '.com') screws things up on the Nexus Player. However, if you simply have a traditional 'text' username, everything authenticates fine. Simply contact TorGuard support and they can make this change for you in a couple of minutes.

Is it possible to use other vpns than torguard? ??
If it runs on 5.1.1 or 6 it should work for Us

Since we're running either v5.1.1 or Android v6, any VPN client certified for either Android system should run on our Nexus Players.
I have a torGuard account and only have experience with that, so far.
Torguard vpn
Ok so I can connect with the vpn but when I exit the app and try a to watch a tv app from the same country as vpn connection it doesn't work. When I go back to the vpn app it says that it is initializing and a new ip address appears. Any ideas? ??
I have this same issue ... the TV app I am trying to load is Netflix and it says it cannot find the netflix servers or connection... Can't seem to find a fix but the TorGuard support are pretty good and helping me at the moment will let you know if a fix is found ... Unless you have a fix already?
I just order a Nexus player hopefully private Internet access works

I have a VPN server set up at my house on an old XP machine for one reason, so i can connect to it for various media providers that require you to be home to use their full service. This works perfectly with the built in android VPN on my phone but I was hoping there was a VPN app I can install on my firestick, every vpn app i found is one that uses its own servers, I just need one like the basic VPN setup in android that you can use a PPTP server with a username and password?
open Vpn , i used it for pptp server on my firestick gen 2. Might be worth looking into. Best of luck =)

Can you elaborate more on this? The gen 2 stick, did you need to root it to make it function as a server? I've been looking everywhere for info to make firestick a vpn server.
Sorry this is mega late, I just installed open vpn to the stick and put in the info.
Are there any known-to-work out-of-the -box Android TV devices that can use VPN with PPTP MPPE?
So far I have tried Firestick and Nvidia Shield, but neither of them have the part of Android OS that allows for internal VPN support like a Cell Phone does.
Please note, OpenVPN is not an option as it does not support PPTP MPPE so it cannot connect to any of our existing media servers.
For anyone getting ready to type a message saying how much better OpenVPN is and how unsecure MPPE is, please know that we already know this.
The servers are strictly used as pass-through video feeders and there is nothing that needs to be secured at all.
Changing them over to OpenVPN would slow them down too much (we already tried that) and OpenVPN does not support Local IP addressing for remote devices. (i.e. making a Remote Connection look like it's local to the server)
All we need is just plain old PPTP MPPE VPN on a Android device that can run Plex and supports a Remote Control .... seems simple enough.
Ideas?
