Is it possible to change DNS so i can watch Netflix on my Omnia 7?
google didn't give any good results.
Whaaaat? Does your DNS provider block access to netflix.com or something?
It's possible to set custom configuration for WiFi networks (press-and-hold on the network name) and either change the DNS, or route your data through a proxy that has a not-stupid DNS.
Alternatively, the phone has an equivalent to a HOSTS file in the registry, at HKLM\COMM\Tcpip\Hosts\. This could be used to manually map the Netflix domain name to their IP address. That would probably work even on cellular data.
I live in Europe so Netflix isn't available to us yet. I'm using unblock-us' dns to get access.
Um... DNS literally does nothing except map a domain name (like "netflix.com") to an IP address. I'm quite sure you can resolve the Netflix domain name overseas. What you need is a proxy server. Proxies let you connect through them to the rest of the Internet, and to everybody else it looks like you are located wherever the proxy is. That (or VPN, which the phone currently doesn't support), and not DNS, is how you get around the "geo-IP" geographical restrictions on a service.

Youtube is proscriptive in my country.when dns adress change get access youtube.But for example I go restaurant how to acess youtube with dns changing.
Any software for dns change or other thing.
What about not change DNS, but open via IP address, not via site name? Try open http://208.65.153.238
i had the same problem...
going to the website with the ip works but only for the mainpage, coz links of the page point to addresses with domain name
to change the dns u got to go to the network card and change there
but if its restricted connection im not sure ull be able to use another dns
but u can use a proxy instead
I know that asproxy works but it costs too much too for us who are more familiar with freeware..
I know a workaround for this...
Download trans proxy(xda exclusive) to set the proxy adddress and set DNS (market) to set the DNS server address..
Likewise you would find freewaare for almost anything on asproxy...
You can even use tasker (maarket) to automatically open transproxy whenever you use wifi because the same transproxy settings wouldn't work for GPRS...
DNS and transporxy

May I ask a dump question: how can I make the DNS work? I understand all the traffic should go through the proxy so DNS is not needed. But the applications on the phone are not aware of the proxy. They will try to resolve the IP address before trying any connection to port 80 or 443, right? I have been struggling to make transproxy work for quite a while.
Just set the proxy address in transproxy and set the same proxy address as the dns server in set dns... Hope this works..
I tried but it didn't work. I think the DNS is not needed. But I cannot get the browser or other application to talk to the proxy without resolving the IP address.
In my school we have Wifi only on hallway,so we can use it only at break and its bad . But teachers have seccured wifi,which is in class too. We have found password,but its need to setupp proxy and port to work. Fortunately its the same proxy and port like on the all school PCs, co i just write proxy from browser settings. But on Transformer i can set up proxy/port only for HTTP protocol, so its work only in browser. But i want to use this for some apps too. I have tried some apps to set up proxy but it didnt work. Does anyone of you know hot to set up proxy for the apps? If it posible.

I think you can set up proxy using AnyCut, but I have not tried it to know if it will work for what you need.
SSHTunnel will work, but you need a SSH proxy. [And obviously root, but who doesn't root?] It has the ability to use a global proxy or you can select individual apps.

Here is a page with a list of SSH proxies:

Btw, a SSH proxy is more secure, it encrypts your data. But of course, the proxy you connect to could save your web traffic, just like any other proxy.
Hello, I'm fairly new to programming let alone development, how ever I need to connect my home computer and mobile device to a class server provided by my college. The server allows user access by username and password but as an extra layer of security the instructor limits access to set ipv4 addresses. Given at&t as my provider I've been using mobile hotspot as my main internet service, unfortunately the ip address changes frequently through this service. I was wondering if there was any way to capture the range of these ip adresses or if anyone could direct me on another way to create a static address through which I could connnect (perhaps a very basic web server?).

They need to change their policy. No consumer internet service uses a static IP, so even though yours may change faster, everyone else in the class will eventually have the same issue. They need to invest in a VPN if they want network security.

If this is an absolute requirement one option could be to get a static IP address from AT&T. I know Sprint offers that as an option for around $5 a month. might be a way to do this. The only other option I can think of is to get a server on something like cloud at cost or digital ocean and use it as a proxy.
Does your school offer up a VPN for students? One thing you might be able to ask the professor is if they will allow you to use it from on campus.
Hi,
is there some app that would let me fill proxy url (with authentication) and then run traffic through that proxy? Or at least some add—on to some browser, something like switchy omega is for desktop chrome.
I have found https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.assets.androidproxy but this doesn't support authentication.
I know there should be some solutions for rooted phone, do I need to get root access for this to work?
I also know that I can setup proxy for the access point, but that means always fill username and password by hand.
Thanks
