Like he says in the post, will work for probably many other vpns but does require root.
performed on rbox's nov21 51.1.4.1_514013920+fixed pre-rooted image.
I found this link all credit goes to him.
https://vpntips.com/fire-tv-vpn-install/
So my vpn provider is purevpn and I decided to try it on it and it worked.
what I did instead was the following,
I selected the dd-wrt router files from here.
http://support.purevpn.com/customer...-files-for-windows-routers-ios-linux-and-mac-
I followed the install settings which required install both open-vpn apk files and running the vpn installer app. instead of copying the other vpn providers files, I extracted the router-file.zip from above from purevpn website on a windows machine and copied all the files in it to "/sdcard/openvpn" of the firetv box. I also placed the files in the tcp and udp folder to the root of "/sdcard/openvpn" this also included the ca.crt and wdc.key. not sure if these were needed but I put them their anyway.
I enabled the vpn as the the first setting then selected the server to connect to and entered the login/password and waited for connection successful and stating what the new ip was.
verified through chrome by going to "tracemyip.org"
these settings did not survive a reboot. you needed to go back into openvpn app and reconnect.
I use droidvpn and it works solid, no complaints.

Do I need a rooted phone to flash the 4.1.1 version, because i don't wan't to root the phone. It can't be fixed by changing the pass type from open system to shared key from the router settings (this works for me but no one in the house can access the network, only I can)
Where can i find these folders ?:?:?

At a friends house, the first time you connect a new device to their router you have to use the wps button, otherwise it just sticks on authenticating. After that it works fine.

for all who experiene problems with wifi after updating from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2 here is the solution:
Root your phone (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957273)
Download Root Explorer
Copy files from 4.1.1 /etc/wifi folder and overwrite over 4.1.2 /etc/wifi folder.

But I have to run it every time I reboot " Download Files and apply ad blocking" or else it wont work. After every reboot when I go into the app its disabled.
Is it supposed to be like this.?

It probably doesnt support Note3 yet. But just use Adaway. Its just as good.

So, what adblock solution do you use? Since Google banned adblockers from the play store I have been using AdFree, but after I upgraded to KitKat it's no longer working.
Are there any other apps worth using or a hosts file provider you know of?
Thanks!

Yes. And yes. It's a complete ad block as complete as it gets. It's got a perk in that it doesn't even need root! (Although it DOES work better with root)
It has options to allow non - intrusive ads too. Which is actually helpful that it blocks all ads that are annoying and let's correctly used ads stay so that good developers get their money too

I guess you factory resetted the phone after the replacement, right? If you did, remove the WIFI connection completely once more and start from anew with entering password.

anyone know how to enable the tethering on the Verizon HTC 10 without a subscription? On the M8, there was a zip that was flashed to enable it, I was wondering if there was something similar, or if there is a text file that can be edited?
if you are rooted, goto /system/customize/acc/default.xml. using some editor, goto line 202 "tethering guard support" set that to false.
That should do it
thanks!
heres a edited default.xml (Verizon) to enable it if anyone interested
This is for launch 1.19.605.9 base
Does 'tethering guard' have to be changed? It's Is currently set to '1', which I noticed is different from the thread on the unlocked version. The unlocked version has a default of '9' and ppl ate are changing it to '0'.

That's tether guard rule. Set that to 0.
Then go find tether guard support and change to false.

youd need to replace the file in a File Explorer with root access. back up your original for just in case, but if your Verizon you should be fine.
