lol... you can download Orbot guys, use it as a proxy with your android browser:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.torproject.android&hl=en
thanks for that yukinok25.
i've just rang Vodaphone UK to get content block, unblocked. i get a sms update message, did everything they said and a few hours later im still blocked. must be something wierd on my desire & Oxygen ROM that it doesnt like.
installed Orbot and it's working as expected.
it wouldnt be so bad if the filtering worked ok (i really dont need access to adult material on phone), but so many false positives, network content block is just annoying.
No problem mate.
I used to have the same problem with 3UK, many contents were blocked and I started to use TOR.
Eventually, one day I found out I wasn't firewalled anymore??..??
Now everything works fine.

Thanks for the information
If you top up online on your phone you'll have to change it back beforehand. It's easier to create another profile with the original settings and just switch between the two when needed.

Old thread i know, but i'm new to the 3 network and just discovered that half my bookmarks are blocked! These aren't 'adult' sites either. Changing the APN name worked a treat! I'm so glad information like this is out there to find. God bless the Internet and XDA! :good:

Please note that it's not ideal to operate a mobile device with 3Internet APN. You will get a public IP rather than a private IP in the 10.x.x.x range you normally get which means there is no firewall between your device and the internet. Also if Three notice what you are doing they probably won't be pleased that you're using up a public IPv4 IP that's really meant for mobile broadband users.

I just purchased the gtab after careful deliberation and i have just one woe.... The only way to get internet access here is to connect to the local provider through the wireless routers they have distributed throughout the installation... Thats the easy part... after that you have to connect using a PPPOE vpn.... i do this with my laptop but i want to use my gtab on the net also.. call me greedy... So my question is; is it possible in anyway to connect to their VPN? Or maybe bridge the connection between my lappy and the gtab?
It might be possible thru Bluetooth? That is if your laptop has Bluetooth. Otherwise I think you will need a small wifi router or something and setup ICS (Internet Connection Sharing).
Bluetooth won't work....
You can use VPN software on your tab but that needs specific settings [ the same from your lap top ] just need to find compatible VPN software for the tab that will work with your network.
Easiest solution is to use your laptop as a wireless router.
depending on your OS [ assuming windows ] there are many guides online on how to set it up.
May be as easy as selecting your network connection and turning on network sharing....
Goodluck homie
EDIT: i don't know what your base's restrictions are but if your "tech" team helped set up your laptop they should help on the tab too.

Make sure you restrict your hot spot on your laptop to the mac address of your tab and see if you can hide your ssid as well. The base techs lock you down to VPN access for their security so they will not like you opening up their network for everyone to access using your vpn connection.

Firstly! Thank you to all for your service to our country!!!! As the people in Egypt are finding out FREEDOM is not FREE.
Second... I do not know which ROM you are using; however Clemsyn's KERNEL does support configuring VPN on your tablet. Please go to this thread for more information:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=895825
With the above you should be able to configure your tablet and be able to roam around your area without having to go through your laptop.
This should meet the need you have
I hope the above helps and stay low !!!!

You should at least consider doing this anyway, for your own peace of mind: you don't want some random stranger abusing your network connection or potentially accessing your personal data, do you? You wouldn't take chances with your physical security I am sure. Your data security is important too.

thanks everyone for both your support of my mission and of my gtablet... I will most definitely try out the clemsyn kernel and see what comes of it because then i could roam the entire base.. And as far as hiding the ssid, i really dont think thats warranted as the people in my unit or anyone else in the area are not the type of people that would know how to get around what simple security i have in place.... They arent the type of people that you would encounter on this forum, or any tech forum for that matter.... but thanks for your concern ill keep it monitored and if i dont have the warm and fuzzy i will put more security in place, but at this point its just an inconvenience.....

This may cause some problems. Android some some well documented issues with non-broadcast SSIDs. It may work, it may not. It may work today, but not connect again tomorrow.
You'll need to test different configurations (if you even can hide the SSID) and see what works. But you may NEED to broadcast for the Tab to connect (again).
Also, from a security stand point, hiding the SSID adds nothing, really. Restrict access to the MAC address and you'll be fine. Use WPA2 if at all possible.
And I'll add to the thanks for serving. You are a true American hero.
lol my first thanks lol you welcome man, i agree hiding your ssid does nothing as far as i know connectify does not work unless password protected and the default method is wpa2, even with the usual method of wpa hacking, macc address filtering should cover you so your good and thanks for tour service man
Jbro,
Thanx so much for starting this thread. I've been "there" and am going back to the same place and forgot that they use pppoe there! And I agree, you don't want to deal with the response from them when you tell them what you're doing.
It sucks bad enough standing in the line in the first place.
Have they improved connection speeds? It used to be steady but nothing to write home about. Also, can you a wifi signal base wide now?

You should get one eventually, but you could also try going into the app's settings, checking Use Bridges, and enter the IP of a US bridge. I don't know of any US bridges myself but this mat be useful: https://www.torproject.org/docs/bridges#FindingMore

Oh, in the guide the link to Tor is purely informational, you don't even need to look at it. The Tor link I posted above is a complex way to possibly have a higher chance of being routed into the US ... that's really only for people who are ready to do the research into it. The guide on StackExchange should be enough.
If Tor is essentially a proxy - would your phone need to have iptables in order for this method to work?

My kernel does not have iptables. (SE X10 Mini Pro)
While I can run orbot and connect - it doesn't tunnel any data through the connection. My IP address in any app is still the same as it was before connection to the tor network. (Including the browser check in the orbot app)
I suspect therefore that in order to tunnel apps through the tor network, your kernel does in fact need iptables.

If you put a fake phone number, they can't call you. Don't attach fake info to your "real" account if you have one, if this concerns you. And they probably only call if your billing info is fake and they can't process your payment, so you could stick to free apps with no problem. (I don't see why they would call otherwise, there's no way they're going through every account and verifying the info manually).

It doesn't care about whether you have a payment method, or if you do where your billing address is, until you try to buy/download an app.
Yeah, stupidly enough I attached fake info to my real account. I did only download free apps though, to avoid them taking contact.
I am from Singapore and there's no need to use Tor or proxies to use the Amazon Appstore. Downloads are verified as long as there's a valid US credit card number attached to your 1-click configuration.
It makes sense because it verifies you as a US citizen. The claim that " this new market cannot be used outside of the US" is false. You're saying US citizens travelling outside of US who wants to access has to use Tor?
Amazon restricts usage only in US through identification using credit card information (and house address).

I have actually used my transformer at panera. Once you connect, you have to open up the browser and accepts their TOS. Then you are set!

You can also try setting a static DNS (not any other part of the IP, let it DHCP that) of 8.8.8.8

for the future, when the wifi icon is grey instead of blue, your still connected, but you don't have direct access to google servers which means syncing is down.
This is normal with any internet that requires a log-in page.
For example at my school i have to log in through the browser like you do at panera, and gmail won't update because the google sync dosn't have direct access. You can do a manual check, but it won't do it on it's own.
just so you know.
Hello everyone, so I recently finally got blocked from tethering by T-Mobile after a long time of sucking it out of them by being rooted and on a custom ROM like all of us here.
The way they know you are tethering on their network is by the User Agent that is sent to them by your desktop/laptop computer browser. When they see that a regular browser is accessing their network, that's when you get the infamous T-Mobile Hotspot Screen we all hate.
I've recently discovered a Firefox Add-On called User Agent Switcher found here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/user-agent-switcher/?src=search
Download it and install it to Firefox. Then download this (right click, "Save as") http://techpatterns.com/downloads/firefox/useragentswitcher.xml
Go to Tools>User Agent>Edit User Agents (a window pops up) click on "Import.." and add the .xml file you just downloaded.
Then pick a User Agent that resembles the Sensation webkit and BAM! Free tethering for all of us.
I'm using it right now
NOTE: If you use a Googlebot User Agent, you will be able to tether and always load up full webpages instead of mobile versions. - Thanks to The Archangel and chadwick3nser for discovering this!

What are you using to block the IP address? I was thinking just changing the IP to not be the standard DHCP that the phone would give you still shows it coming from another MAC address on the same connection and would be obvious to the write sniffing rules?
I realize this isn't a requirement I've been using the UA for a while from canary but I easily see them stopping this workaround w/ better sniffing rules.

This is a very bad advice as pretending to be a googlebot may get you either blocked or banned from many websites (especially if they use ZBBlock) as this behavior is rated as a spammer/bot activity.

Okay I've been tethering fine for a while on FF, but T-Mobile finally blocked me yesterday... I figured out that it was the second I started to watch a YouTube video. Guessing they're able to see activity on my cell account at the same time as my login is accessing YouTube and put 2&2 together...? (That may be obvious to some...)
Anyway... I may try the user agent spoofing but this is really aggravating since I'm traveling right now and the internets in my hotel are $10/day.
