I can only suggest as I am not able to test an OpenVPN connection:
Have you tried OpenVPN Installer and OpenVPN Settings apps (both from Friedrich Schäuffelhut) from the Market?
Maybe that apps can help you to install and configure your OpenVPN connection correctly.
Good luck and report back !

Hi,
thanks for the advice, but those are the programs I am currently using. I installed it with the openvpn installer. And to connect I have to use the settings app.
After I am connected I can browse the internet. But still can't use any apps like mentioned above..
Not getting an idea what the problem could be. Those apps somehow don't get the permission to use the internet or something..

Try using CatLog from the market. After installation run your E-Mail client and check for new mail (that does not work as you said). Look at the saved log file from CatLog to get some more information about what's wrong.
Although you say browsing works it might be a problem with the default route or a DNS problem. If you are not used to the console you can install LanDroid from the market. It will allow you to ping and trace route any host. This again might give you (and us ) more information about what is going wrong.

hey there thanks for this very informative post! I tried to download catlog, but the market says it is incompatible with my device... I downloaded a similar app. Didn't have much time to test it, but what I could read out of it in brief amount of time was, that while connecting to facebook there is a kind of xmpp error or something and mostly timeouts. There must be a kind of blockage somewhere... I'll try it again tomorrow and give your further information. I'll try out the other app, which you recommended too and let you know!
thank you loads for the support!

Any Hack For Region Protected Apps?

To make a long story brief, does anyone know of a hack that would fool a region protected app?
I downloaded the APK for the BBC I Player from mediafire and I opened it via Astro whilst connected to my UK proxy and also used a location spoofer app. When I tried to play content a message pops up saying it's only available in the UK. I then tried using my VPN account and got the same result.
Does anyone know of any way to make that app think i'm in the UK or is it impossible?
I did search XDA and as far as I can see is still an unresolved issue.
try market enabler from the market.

That won't have any effect. He already has the app but it's restricted to working only for those within the UK.
OP, try tvcatchup using your Flash enable browser.

Firstly, thanks for the reply, I appreciate it.
Although it was a great idea (and one I hadn't thought of) it didn't work because it gave a message saying my i.p. was not compatible with the service. I suspect that's because I'm probably number 10,000 to sign up and use that i.p. and it was therefore blocked long ago. It did play the ads so in theory you're right, it would definitely have worked, so for anyone else reading this who has access to a 'clean' proxy, try it.
It wasn't a massive issue for me because I can get I Player via my browser using the proxy but it is a bit of a pain navigating it, as opposed to the clean interface of the player itself but it's better than nothing.
Also to anyone else reading this, I do get ITV Player and 4 On Demand via my proxy and I can get all the sport on 5Live, Sports Extra and Talksport, so it's only the stand alone players themselves that can't be broken.
Thanks again for the help and whilst i'm here, do you know of any other UK tv catchup services besides the one you gave me?
* UPDATE *
whatsontv.co.uk works like a charm through the proxy, the only downside being there's no live feeds but it is worth having.
Also, Blinkbox works with a proxy. Plenty of good free series but no live feeds.
123webtvdotcom is also a good service that works with a proxy and it simply gives you a grid of live tv programs that it then forwards you too.
All in all, three good finds thanks to the posters suggestion, so thanks.

[Q] can someone help me with making this app?

hi i subscribed to a site that gives premium access to many file hosting sites by setting up their dns and logging in their web page... this works flawlessly on the pc but on android well it consumes a little of ram to have many tabs open and you have to open it everytime you want to download something so the question is is there a way to make an app where you put your login data and the app automatically logs in the website everytime you connect to the internet? (wifi/3g)
if yes can someone help me making it or can someone (best option beacuse i don't know a single thing about programming ) make this app for me nad the rest of android users that would like this service on their phone? thanks in advice and sorry for my english

Any one help?

Hello All,
Can any one help me to download GlobalEnglish Lingo app. from android market and upload it or send to me, because I can't download any app from market google block me due to my location.
Thanks
Nothing.... Please help....
learn to proxy, and download apk's via your browser, and install manually on your phone.
Thanks, but can you tell me how to do this?
No obne Help.....
you could use other apps similar to this. im sure there are hundreds of them. even you've installed this, still, your country will be recognized.
how to proxy.
open browser.
go to google
type in 'socks 5 proxy <country here>'
assuming you're using windows, go to the options/settings bit for your browser, find the bit that references proxy, or 'internet settings/properties'
click on 'lan settings'
where it says 'proxy server'
check the box 'use a proxy server for your LAN'
ip goes in the first box, port goes in the second.
most sites will seperate the two when displaying proxies as you hunt for them
if they don't, it'll bein the format iport, eg 173.24.57.158:3450
sorry it took a while to reply, had forgotten about the thread.
but as long as the proxy you're using is located in a country that isn't blocked on the market, you should then be able to download apks via your browser to install manually, without having to resort to filehosting downloads.
make google as your friend; and google will do the rest for you....

VPN on Android

Just been wondering, cause I've tried it before but with no success, is it possible to create a virtual private network between your home computer/wlan to your android phone?
The main reason I would be interested in doing this is to possibly access my media collection on my home laptop via the HTC media player's ability to stream from a shared computer on the same wireless network, or to use splashtop2 vnc to access my actual computer from a remote location.
Has anyone tried this? With something like Hamachi ?

The Answer is YES...
I've had openVPN running on all of my android devices with no problem, I can access anything from my Network via VPN. If you need some help I can point you in the right direction.
I'd love some. Been trying to figure it out but been to busy to find the right research. Thx

How would I go about using OpenVPN with Hamachi? I could use "Private Tunnel" but it only allows 100mb with a free account :/
Add me, please, to the list of those who'd love your experience. My prior employer used a Cisco VPN client which I could never get working properly. Now, my needs are exactly those of the OPer. I have Win7 at home, on a PC running all the time, and I'd love to link my DNA.
So, any insight based on your experience would be great. Thanks!
OpenVPN Windows 7 Android Config
I've been coding for eight hours today, so I'll try to explain as much as possible tonight and will continue tomorrow if need be...
1. So obviously you need a static IP, if you don't have one yet set one up with no-ip or change-ip or whatever you prefer
2. Download and install this straight to C:\ directory.... trust me it is just easier this way:http://swupdate.openvpn.org/community/releases/openvpn-2.2.2-install.exe <--- This is an older version but I've found it to be most stable
3.Create a simple text file in the config folder of the OpenVPN server eg. C:\OpenVPN\config
and paste this into it:
## server.ovpn ##
port 1194 # This is the standard openVPN port, you may change it just make sure open it up in you firewall and forward the port
proto udp
dev tun
ca ca.crt
cert server.crt
key server.key # This file should be kept secret
dh dh1024.pem
server 10.20.1.0 255.255.255.0 #If you use this IP, your host machine will take the virtual IP of 10.20.1.1
ifconfig-pool-persist ipp.txt
push "dhcp-option DNS 10.20.0.1" #change these to match your setup
push "dhcp-option WINS 10.20.0.1" #this too
keepalive 10 120
comp-lzo
max-clients 3 # The maximum number of concurrently connected clients we want to allow.
persist-key
persist-tun
status openvpn-status.log
verb 3
4.save that text file with an .opvn extension
Sorry guys I'm done for the night... I'll try to help you out some more tomorrow.

There you go try using the IP track application available for free over the playstore https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.movingstuff.IpTrack&hl=en see if that solves your problem.
hmm, not exactly what Im looking for. Maybe i have to define it better.
I need something what will track servers, where is device connecting. I would like to know more about what is my device doing in background.
example: some user app is connecting to server to download ads, system is connecting some server for update actual time(or not?) etc...
I need something to track it.
Hope now its more understandable.
