Hi guys,
I've tried searching the whole forum, and I can't seem to find any information on how to effectively change the DNS server when you are connected on your mobile network. I've tried various DNS changer apps in Play store, but somehow, DNS changing method doesn't work on 4.3 below.
I am on Imperium Rom v. 4.0, (ROOTED)
I have been struggling on how can I watch netflix on my phone while I am not in the US.
Thanks in advance!

I need one clarification: how the DNS change would allow you to trick netflix that your phone is in fake location?
Furthermore, I am unsure if the neflix is not checking the location in which the phone/SIM is registered...
To tell you honestly, I really don't have any idea how that works. But it has been working in my wifi connection. I am able to watch netflix outside the US when I change the DNS. Try googling "Netflix DNS" you'll see more info about it.

Hi, I wrote an app called "Override DNS for KitKat" which implements the new way KitKat uses to change DNS servers.
It needs root, but you are already in that situation.
Let me know if it helps.
Awesome! Will give it a go! Thanks a bunch!

You can do PPTP vpn if u need to, web proxy is so last century..
There's no wifi proxy baked into android. This makes it useless for most enterprise networks, I.e. you can't use an android with a radius server for enterprise WPA authentication and proxy. Apparently we might be getting it in gingerbread.
If you look in the general android discussion there's a kludge that kinda works.
Your other option is to get an iPhone, ios has had support for wifi proxy/ enterprise wpa from the get go.
I know, it's ridiculous, blame Google...

Is it possible to do on X8 ?
It won't work if you are connecting via ad-hoc. You may install connectify to your laptop and use that internet connection for your x8/whatever phone/device.

Isn't any app that can help up with the proxy settings?
I am beginning to get sick of this phone and this OS, no wifi proxy, no way to install to SD card except of hundreds of steps, google navi doesn't work, get's stucked at the beginning, exagerated price for unlocking...
Try custom Rom.. floyo has proxy in settings
Sent from my X8 using XDA App
As I see you posted in this thread Racht, I ask you how to configure an OpenVPN in Floyo.
Do I have to install something ?
I tried with a .conf file but I don't know where to put the .ca certificate.
I also tried to install OpenVPN config.
Have you got a link to a good tutorial ?
Thanks.
hi, please u check for ASProxy from market, it works for me.. but it is paid version.. and required rooted device only..
I thought about a custom rom, but it seems I couldn't find a stable one here, all have bugs with either bluetooth, camera or gps, and maybe I am too blind to find an xrecovery link to download it.Do you have a link with a good rom? Thanks in advance

I'm having with trouble getting VPN to work on my Nook Color, running cm7.1 encore stable. It seems every time I enter my password to connect, the status changes to 'Connecting...' and freezes the nook. Has anyone gotten VPN to work on CM7.1? I'm outside the US so I would like to run VPN to connect to Hulu and Crackler...
Any help on this would be appreciated
BUMP
I'm having the same issue with CM 7.1.0.1 (stable). Like the original poster stated in his post every time I connect to a VPN my Nook Color freezes and I have to do a hard reboot.
I use VPN a lot on my Android devices so it would be great if someone could tell me how I can get it to work on the Nook Color.
If you can use OpenVPN, that works very well for me via the OpenVPN Settings app.

My provider charges extra for OpenVPN so I'm stuck for now trying to get PPTP VPN to work on my NC.
I straight up have the answer for you. DroidVPN is in beta right now, search them on the forums. They will provide you with VPN for free. They require that you email them for a registration code and that's it.
Highly recommended. Quick connection and nice servers. Download and browsing speed mostly equivalent to what I was getting before.
Give them a try. You will need a tun.ko in your system/lib/module folder, but it is built into the kernel. I just bring that up so it doesn't seem to be a stumbling block to anyone looking into the app.

I already have a prepaid subscription to a VPN provider (StrongVPN) which allows me to have an IP address from anywhere in the world. I watch shows on the BBC iPlayer which only streams to UK IPs. I also used this before to watch Netflix while in Europe with a US IP.
This DroidVPN sounds fine for folks that aren't needing international IPs although I don't know how many servers they have and what type of speeds one can expect using them.
Hi, I like the title, the company's wifi bind, the appropriate version of the opera to the Internet can be accessed using a proxy. But, unable to establish a wifi connection with Google Play or widgwets. Could you share the solution if there is?
thanks...
Use proxydroid. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.proxydroid&hl=en
doesn't work
Hi, this program doesn't work properly and i learned how to using ics with proxy but it doesn't work too. (in wifi menu, press wifi and manuel conf.) it's connecting AP but google play, ics default browser and WIDGETS don't runings. it doesn't ask me for proxy user name and password.
Do not nobody that can use this way?
A similar situation to try those behind the proxy, please?
thanks,
any solutions or idea?
Read my post. It works for me. This is how I do it at my work. Market and everything works.
I use my grouper most times connected to Connectify hotspot on my PC. I have never been able to use any VPN app on the grouper. What could be wrong. Pls help.

I'm on Lollipop. How do i get the information to fill into the VPN settings?
Name:
Type: PPTP (default)
PPP encryption (MPPE)
DNS search domains
DNS servers (eg 8.8.8.8)
Forwarding routes (eg 10.0.0.0/8)
Honestly i don't know what to fill in those boxes
What (who's) VPN are you using?
Mine were on proXPN Web site.
Try Google ing it.

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.
Sent from my SM-G920T using XDA Free mobile app
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!
Vpn
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
