Probably just verizon dns issues.
However, I prefer gadafi.fi, The Non-Libyan URL Shortener http://gadaf.fi/index.php
If you want to know for sure, find the ip that goes with the domain and type that in the url in place of the domain

[Q] facebook on froyo opens links at www.facebook instead of m.facebook site

Anyone know how to make it point at m.facebook instead of www .facebook?
no one else sees the when selecting, for example, a notification?
I have the same problem, although I want it to open on touch.facebook.com not m.facebook.com personally. I don't think it is a Froyo issue more of a newest version of the FB problem. I had this problem on my Incredible with 2.1
It looks like it was on Facebook's side, it is now redirecting properly & I havent started tweaking things for it yet.
Seems I spoke too soon, its intermittently showing www over the m site

Those settings are where?

Yeah... this annoys me greatly. Stupid Facebook.

Will Google dns speed up internet?

Saw this linked to on Facebook. Wondering if its true.

Can anyone verify this is safe and works. Thanks

DNS won't give you faster internet per se, if your phone gets the ip address of the website it's requesting back faster than your phone can start downloading the page maybe some miliseconds sooner, but that'd be the only benefit....
can anyone attach the zip here?

Openvpn for Ice Cream Sandwhich (no root/jailbreak)

Hi,
a pre alpha version that already works.
Restrictions:
- only tun mode (API restriction)
- may only work once (still pre alpha, remember)
Although the application is far from finished connecting to a VPN already works. I
Update:
Updated version now on the market: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.blinkt.openvpn
Source Code: code.google.com/p/ics-openvpn/
Thank you for this application. Is it open source ? Do we have to install openvpn first ? Do we have to get tun working first ?
Thank you.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
Yes, it is open source. When the code is a little bit more polished I will publish the code. The VPNService is part of Android 4.0+, so nothing is required regarding tun. (On custom build ICS images thing might differ, but that is bug in the image)
Perfect. Thank you. I will try it and give you feed back.
Thank you.

Excellent! I had almost given up hope on being able to (successfully) use OpenVPN on my Android device when I learned that ICS would make it easier. Thanks for taking the time to do this!
I have also created an OpenVpn application, mainly ported for Cyanogenmod 7, which retain almost all CM7 OpenVpn features. Sure, it is open source, check it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1591585
Too bad that the effort was made twice now :/ I did not know of your porting attempts. There was a discussion on the openvpn-devel mailing list a month before and nobody knew of any porting attempts.
I tried it and it is working great. Thank you very much.

Tested against a Linksys E4200 with DD-WRT and works perfectly.
I need to reconfigure my server from SHA256 to SHA1 hash algorithm. It would be great if this can be configured in advanced options.
Thanks and keep the great work !!!
Sorry, that I respond so late. Thanks for the suggestion of hash algorithm. I will look into implementing a hash algorithm preference.
With latest version, using "--auth sha256" in advanced options, works perfectly.
Thanks.

I do not understand your question. What do you want to know?
This question may be stupid, but when OpenVPN is connected, does all network traffic on the phone go through the VPN channel?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Depends how you set the routes. If you set default route on then all should go over the VPN channel. You can check the routes with show information from the log widow.
It took me a while to enable 'redirect gateway' and configure NAT on the Linux server side, but after that this app works great and all traffic are going through the VPN tunnel! Thanks a lot!

To the OP: which version of OpenVPN did you bundle in the app? Does it support IPv6?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
2.3.0pre and it does support IPv6
Almost perfect app
Very helpful developer.
I like this program the best compared to the other one in here for ICS, as this one has more options, nicer layout, and is the only one working properly for me.
However I did have to put in my DNS settings automatically, but then everthing also worked correctly
Now I only miss a on/off widget, the app would be perfect!

You are posting in wrong thread. The right thread for the openvpn app from the market is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1591258.
But still:
What does "show connection information" show if you are connected? Which mobile phone are you using?

It shows that I've sent packets, but haven't received any. I'm on a Galaxy Nexus using CM9.
My guess is it's something on the server end that I need to configure... But I have no real experience with openVPN and have been just following guides I've found on the net. In my previous post is a picture of my server config in tomato, do you see anything wrong there? Or anything else I need to do somewhere else in the router?
edit: I even tried adding this to custom config on server side
Code:
push "redirect-gateway def1"
When I try to load a webpage all I see in the logs are stuff like:
P:WWrWrWrWr..........................WRwwrite to TUN/TAP: Invalid argument (code=22)

Limit http download speed

This must be more of a general topic, so i'm posting this here even though i've put it in the sg3 thread (dont hate me plz).
I need to limit the download speed when downloading stuff from the web with my favourite browser, cuz if i dont the internet connection will be all clogged up for the rest of my family. So i want to download slower. I have root. Anybody know any app that can limit all http download connections (just like it happens with torrent clients)?

The easiest way yet to get tethering. NO decompile/compile necessary!

Hey guys!
Thanks to scrosler's brilliant discovery that all it takes is a simple "Yes" response from a server to enable tethering and seeing his method of modifying the TetheringProvision.apk file in oder to replace the entitlement.mobile.att.net with his server I just thought why not simply edit the HOSTS file in /etc ???
So I fired up root explorer and opened /etc/hosts, then put as first line:
74.208.15.145 entitlement.mobile.att.net
save/exit
That's it !! Now I was able to go to my own server and look in the log file what exact URL the phone is calling and found it's calling /mhs1
So I put a index.html unter /mhs1 that just reads "Yes" *with no newline afterwards!*
And voila!
Hotspot activates!
P.S. I encourage everyone with the possibility to do that to use their own server. Maybe Scrosler will be so generous to host the /mhs1 index.html on his server as well and provide his IP address. This IP here is a test server that is probably going to go offline in about 1 month.
And it gets even easier...
Using any of the ad-blockers out there (I use AdAway), just enter the HOST entry in the manual redirect list. Now it's not even necessary any more to browse to the /etc/hosts file
See attachment!
Or you could just use this. Even easier.

Oh cool! I didn't know ES now does that. Like foxfi it seems to trick the hotspot into turning on. I personally like the stock experience best with a quick widget on the home screen. That's why I used to hack the framework.
Good to know that now we have several options

Do we have to be rooted to use ES net manager?
Probably a dumb question.
Oh cool. . People confirmed it is working workout root. .
