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.
Bump
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?

Hey everyone,
I'd like to know if any of you have had trouble with Remote RDP Enterprise from your phone to a server via VPN (3g and WiFi)? I ask because when I try it, I get a black screen and it doesn't connect. (once in a while, it will connect, and I'll get the logon screen, but it'll freeze there and FC.)
Now, if I'm at work, on the wifi, it works perfectly.
Also, I've tried remote VNC through VPN, and it works, but I'm not happy with its interface. I've also tried Remoid, and it works through VPN, but I don't like its interface either.
I have no troubles at all when connecting from any of my laptops/netbooks, only from the EVO on VPN. Any ideas?
Anyone, anyone? Bueller?

Thanks, I tried that along with the others, but I don't really like it, and same results.
I know this bug was filed in April 2011:
http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=3353
As far as I know, VPN has never worked on the Nook Color. I know there has been new splash screens or pretty wallpapers added, but I don't know of anything changed with VPN. I can watch anime and play video games, but I can never connect to my office to work on a server.
CyanogenMod 7.0, 7.1, 7.2: try to connect to VPN = hard lock.
CyanogenMod 9.0: try to connect to VPN = always fails.
PPTP or L2TP, it's always the same.
I'm guessing when CyanogenMod 10 comes out, VPN will still not work.
Is there any build of any version of Android that works on the Nook Color that allows for a VPN connection to be established?
It's the same with my HP TouchPad. VPN always fails.

Are you stuck with VPN and cannot use an SSH client like ConnectBot?

I've never thought of myself "stuck" with VPN. I just click "connect" and it works. Usually.
Windows - connects to our L2TP and Cisco IPSec devices.
Mac OS X - connects to our L2TP and Cisco IPSec devices.
iOS - connects to our L2TP and Cisco IPSec devices.
Android (Nook Color, HP TouchPad) - no connection possible!
I use iTap/RDP, iTeleport/VNC, and local Intranet web pages.
All those work over SSH?
I didn't intend "stuck" to be pejorative, but lots of places (like where I work) offer both VPN and SSH access.
As for services, I use ConnectBot's SSH tunnels for VNC, email, chat, etc.

I've yet to find a build that works with the Cisco AnyConnect client, and I've been trying.
The latest CM7 kang build works with VPNs, udp, tdp, etc. perfectly.
It's already configured in the code to work, but you need to download this:

is wp8 will support VPN ... ???
Yes. I use VPN on my Win8 PC and the test tablet at my work. PPTP/SSTP/ICMP all work.
Haven't tried OpenVPN but should work no issues.

I use Shrew VPN....is free and support .pcf files
SInce I use HideIPVPN as my provider I have checked their Windows software yesaterday under W8 Release Preview.
Worked (desktop mode only) exactly as in Win 7.
Log in, choose server from you package - connect.
Netflix and Hulu worked without any problems under Chrome both in Modern UI and Desktop mode (tested only PPTP VPNprotocol but I do not see a reason for L2TP or SSTP not to work).
So, nor problems with VPN and Win 8.
This means I only need VPN on WP8 system as well + Market Enabler (as in Android) and it Christmas for me
+Hey guys
What about Hotspot Shield App !?!?

I dont see any reason why it should not work.
I can test it over the weekend when I reconnect HDD with W8 onboard
HSS works.. but not for the metro apps.
Because HSS only works for browsers as far as I know.
This is why I use VPN - all traffic, regardless of program creating it is directed to VPN server.
This means that I can use Spotify in Poland or watch Netflix on my iPad .
I have checked with W8 and both Chrome and IE in Modern UI mode use VPN as well (they got no choice).
I have read yesterday that WP8 will not support VPN but Secure SSL to access company servers - does any one know it this protocol can be used to change IP of a device? I suppose VPN servers would have to have additional software active to support this kind of connection...
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!

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

Fire HD 8 (7th Gen, 5.6.0.0) has No Manual VPN option in wireless setting. But I want to use pptp on it. So, what do i need to use PPTP option. My VPN server's android application just give UDP and TCP.
Do I need to root it or Do I need to install some applications?
Help plz.
I have this issue also. New HD10, and no VPN menu in Wifi settings. I don't want to use a VPN service, I just want to VPN to my home router when I'm out on a public WiFi. I do have Google Play installed. Is there an app there that will work for this?
How have you solved it? I've just found out this lack and i don't know how to solve it.
There are plenty of VPN clients on the Play Store that let you use your own.
Can lakitu47 (or anyone) suggest some VPN apps that I can use to reinstate VPN now it's gone from Fire OS so I can connect in to my own VPN-router?
My router supports L2TP with pre-shared Key -- which works fine with Android and iOS built-in VPN clients. Have tried downloading the FortiClient app but can't get it to correctly-VPN to my router.

Did anyone get this to work? I have a pureVPN account and loaded the app, but due to the Kindle Fire restrictions I am only able to use UDP or TCP, which means it doesn't work with apps like iplayer etc.
Was anyone able to get a L2TP or PPTP to work with the Kindle Fire HD 8?
