On my ISP PlayStore and other Google services dont work most of the times. ISP claims it sometimes routes through ip of YouTube and YouTube is banned in country.
I have tried Hola VPN and hotspot shield but hardly can use PS sometimes.
Is there any other work around?

I use Tunnelbear for my occasional VPN needs (BBC iPlayer, international sports radio broadcasts etc), and it's been problem free. No idea if it plays nicely with PS , but for me it works much better than Hotspot Shield.
Try using psiphon vbn and if you're rooted select to force root method to tunnel the hole device that may help
Try this VPN. http://uk.newfreevpn.com/

Most of the workarounds involve a VPN service to access Netflix from outside of the USA with those disadvantages; difficult setups, limited bandwidths.
UnoTelly is a $5 per month DNS redirection service that claims to enable customers outside of the USA to watch Netflix streaming, Hulu, listen to Pandora, and more by redirect your local DNS to their global DNS without slowing your internet connection and streaming speed.

I did and I signed up. I successfully used it to access BBC in the UK and HULU and PBS and other stations in the US. No slow down in bandwidth. Well worth the money.

Works great for me too. I'm from Poland. Now i can listen Spotify and Pandora without any problems with on EVERY device - phone, tablet, wii.
Only what it takes is setting DNS number.

This is working great for me too. I've got an RK3066 TV stick set up with the Netflix app and this massively increases the available library. Very simple to set up just by changing DNS and the experience is pretty seamless.
I've been using Unotelly for about a year now. I setup the DNS settings into our router so that all our devices on our network goes through the Unotelly DNS. It works great.

Simply use hola unblocker! its free and works great!
Look it up on google!
Netflix isn't available outside of the USA? Worked OK in Costa Rica. I was able to use it both on my unlocked 3G Pantech Burst, with a local Kolbi prepaid SIM as well as using my tablet connected to a wifi router that was had a 3G USB stick. My son watched his shows almost daily while we were on vacation a week ago.
Just a heads up as I am an ex pat I was struggling to install iplayer etc even with a smart dns setting,
I purchased a vpn from vpn unlimited they were, maybe still offering.
"OH still available for 7 days from the post date $19 3 years VPN http://goo.gl/st407o " well less of that.
I am Unrooted so No VPN possible, Well if you are desperate I installed the vpn on my PC and used a great free app
http://virtualrouter.codeplex.com/
Set up a WiFi hotspot which shared the country selectable VPN. Shown above,, connected the firetv and guess what all was fine, I even measured 7mbs download speed (on pc) and video played fine on firetv
After all of that I found out my appstore was registered to the USA so that was one of the problems soon changed that in devices and settings on amazon.com, carried on and installed all the UK free apps I desired.
TV catchup is working on my PC so I am off to try the app on my firetv
The only requirement to watch out for is the black listeded ip adresses for updates may not be blocked yet, I am investigating. it should be possible as it uses open vpn as a core.
Enjoy
UPDATE Tvcatchup works fine abroad , just get the apk off aptoide
Another solution also is to setup a VPN Wifi Router in your house using a Raspberry PI.
I did that and I'm very happy.
I still need some tweaking but getting there.
Next step will be to build an iPhone application that can control it (restart, change country,...)
Let me know if you want a procedure, I can send you the one I follow. I'm also planning to do one myself with some changes.
The only thing is that you will need a VPN provider that is compatible with OpenVPN.
I got a ddwrt router costing me £10. Has VPN and smartdns built in. Works brilliantly.
Hi nufclad,can you tell me which router you are using,ive been recently looking into trying this myself
Thanks
Hi Si,
Sure, its the DIR-615.. I think most revisions now work too . Mines rivision d4.
Pick them up really cheaply. I got mine on Gumtree brand new boxed. But eBay its between £8-£15.
Really can't fault it.
Thanks nufclad,il keep an eye out
Can someone help?
I am trying to have my kids Note 3 to go through the OpenDNS service for parental control, specifically, Youtube blocking.
I subscribed to the free OpenDNS service and tested it with WIndows 10 computers, Galaxy S7, Ipnone 4 and Ipod 4 devices. It works great. But my kids have each a Galaxy Note 3 on Android 5 (not rooted) and it doesn't work. Here is what it does:
I put the OpenDNS ip addresses in my DD-WRT router.
I attempt to connect to the WIFI, the connection is established.
A prompt asks me if I want to open the application with Internet or Google Chrome (makes no difference which one i choose)
Once I made a choice, a Google search page opens up, just like a portal page when you connect to a hotel WIFI network.
Leaving the page openbed or closing it won't make a difference, I will loose connectivity to the WIFI within minutes and it will not reconnect automatically.
Putting the DNS addresses on the Device connection or on the router will do the same problem.
I am in Canada and my ISP is Videotron, the Notes 3 are Bell Canada provided but they have no SIM card inside, the kids only use WIFI.
I tried putting the Norton ConnectSafe DNS IPs and it worked fine. The problemis that I want OpenDNS because it's more customizable.
What is it with these Notes 3 that causes a problem with OpenDNS?
Let me know if you need more info.
Thank you.
Hey guys I can't seem to find an answer to what I am trying to accomplish.
Firstly I have an android phone (Nexus 6 rooted) that I use with an app called VPN hotspot. This lets me connect all my devices to the rooted phone while using a vpn to bypass geo restrictions. This is great for the most part but alot of buffering happens (not always but still annoying)
I pay for my own DNS service (unlocator) and I use that to bypass geo restrictions via phone. Unfortunately you cannot do that with the Chromecast because Google hardcore's the DNS into the firmware. That means when I try to use a UK app while abroad the Chromecast checks it's location and the casting wont work. Blocking routing addresses (8.8.8.8 & 8.8.4.4) allows me to achieve what I want. Unfortunately I can't find an app or anything that would allow me to do that on my rooted phone.
I used to have a router (was stolen) that could block Google's DNS adding static routing addresses to it. I wanted to know can an app do that via phone before I go out and purchase a new router.
My ideal situation would be to use my rooted phone as a little wireless router, have an app block those addresses/DNS, run VPN hotspot app from here, connect my Chromecast and daily driver phone to the rooted phone and be able to cast like I did with the router. If anyone has any ideas or apps that work for this type of setup can you please let me know. I know I can go out and buy a new router but I see the potential in using my old phone as a router and thought maybe it is possible.
Thank you guys.
Got help via Reddit. It can be done.
Hi everyone,
I've got a Samsung M30s a month ago, and I never had issues until now.
Google Play Store and Youtube started working very very slowly maybe a week ago, and now they literally do not load anything whenever I am connected to the Wifi.
Both the apps work fine on mobile data, and Youtube works fine when I open it on the Google Chrome app.
I've tried every troubleshooting I found:
-Clearing cache and data from both apps and Google Play Services;
-Resetting the phone;
-Changing the WiFi DNS to Google's parameters (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4);
-Logging in and out of my Google account numerous time, and relogging directly from the Play Store,
-Turning off all data savers option;
-Turning off all battery saving options;
-Disabling IPv4 or IPv6 on the WiFi.
About my wifi: I am using a router that does not belong to me, but it is an hotspot of my home provider (Vodafone) that i can use for free since I am their client on another WiFi at my parents house.
I tried connecting both to the wifi with my log in details directly or using my computer hotspot as a middle point.
I cannot currently go to my parents house to see if the issue persist using a personal wifi connection (as we are on a strict lockdown here in Italy).
The phone is not rooted nor it has the bootloader unblocked, I like modding and have experience with a lot of Samsung devices but I like the Samsung One interface and I don't want to void the warranty so soon.
My current software version is PPR1180610011M307FNXXU2ASL2.
The phone model is SM-M307FN (European version with the Exynos chip).
I am writing here because everything I tried literally hasn't worked and I really don't know what else to do.
Has anybody else experienced this issue?
Try on wifi from another Internet provider
I do not think it is a matter of phone itself
But: how does Youtube work on a laptop connected to same wifi ?

That's my question too. For what's worth i tried connecting to a phone hotspot (so internet passing through mobile data) and things still don't work.
Youtube works fine on all laptops i know connected to the wifi.
Also worth nothing: when I change DNS to 8.8.4.4. And 8.8.8.8, the situation goes back to normal for a few minutes and then it slows down again.
Question: does the same issue persist even while using a VPN?

Yes to a certain degree. I tried a couple of a vpn with different location (namely USA and other parts of Europe), and the apps did work faster but the issue appeared after a scrolling down the page for a couple of times. I contacted Samsung Support and they told me it is a known issue for a good number of people and that Google is working on it (here's the link to the support Google forum:https://support.google.com/googleplay/thread/40380785?hl=en ).
I guess there'ss nothing to do but to wait.

Have never come across such a weird and specific issue, hope they fix it soon
i have a similar issue with google play store.....also i noticed one thing is that even though i have turned on auto updates & am connected to the wifi the entire time(literally) the apps never update on their own....at one point when i checked the apps i had over 30+ apps to update(some of them were system apps)......& yes youtube is lagging for me as well...
