I am trying from sometime to get access to U.S. channels like hulu , netflixs etc. I live in Canada and our cable/ mobile services does not allow to get access either of it. Read some comments on different blogs, people suggest many way outs but I shortlisted two options (i) One is to use unblock-us service , which is a paid option and I hadnt read any good feedbacks so far (ii) to opt for unotelly unodns vpn for access. Need advice....please suggest if there is any other better option...
Damn no Netflix in canada? That's a load of ****

Orbot could be your solution... its an Android app that will allow you to connect to the TOR Network, if you have not heard of the TOR Network then basically its a very secure and safe anonymous proxy/vpn network that assigns you a generic IP address which as default is randomly assigned but it can be configured to have pre defined entry and exit nodes meaning you can have your normal entry node in Canada and set your exit node in the US.
I use it often to access services normally reserved for people in the US and use services such as Google Music and On live Desktop from the UK.
Hope this helps....

I'm trying this app on my A500 running jelly bean.
I don't see " hot channels " option anywhere.
And when I press the star on a channel it turns gold but then when I exit the app its gone and I have no list of " favourites "
Also there is no menu or options button anywhere.
There is 4 tab: Television, Radio, Add Channel and More.
Tap on television or radio tab,you will see a list of channel, the first option below the channel list is "Hot channels" (this area is drag able , if you don't see hot channels, please drag this area to the right or left)
I don't have any of those options, and nothing is clickable
This is what I'm seeing
Could this be used in Europe too?
EDIT: I have installed it but I get the warring: Could not connect to streamimng server, please check your internet connection and try again. It is possible that our firewall at work network is not allowing this traffic. I will try this at home.

I'm in Europe and I get the same message but if you check the channels to the far right some of them work. Discovery hbo and more
Please remove screen orientation lock and use device in portrait mode, you will see full program features and options. Landscape mode only useful when watching fullscreen.
US TV Free requires a full internet connection (not via proxy or firewall), it will connect to most channels via TCP port 1935 (RTMP)

I noticed those comments as I was installing it. Cancelled the install until some form of verification as to whether there is or isn't malware.

Yes this is malware.. And a browser hijack virus
***DO NOT INSTAL***
Yes, it is integrated with Leadbolt (just an experiment and forget to remove from this built) and COMPLETELY INACTIVE, but we WILL REMOVE this advertising platform in the next version. Sorry for this

For people who lives in the restricted countries, this is a free and root-less way on how to bypass and download country restricted apps and games in Play Store without modding the Play Store app itself.
First of all,
i. Create a secondary google account on your PC.
ii. Leave 'Mobile phone' blank.
iii. Choose United Kingdom as location.
iv. In the next page, you will then add in you phone number for verification.
Next, on you phone, got to Settings>General>Accounts>Add Account>Existing, sign in with you new google account.
After all are done, go to Settings>Connections>More networks>VPN and tap the + sign.
Key in the following:-
Name : BestUKVPN
Type : PPTP
Server Address : BestUKVPN.com
Tick PPP encryption (MPPE)
and tap Save.
To connect, tap on the VPN you've just created :-
Username : free
Password : *the password changes everyday, go to w w w . bestUKVPN . c o m to get the password*
Then, go to Settings>General>Application manager and locate Google Play Store. Tap on it and tap Force Stop, Clear Cache and Clear Data accordingly.
Next, Go to your Play Store and choose your secondary account.
Viola, restricted country apps are available for download!
Unless you country is supported by Google Wallet, you can only download the free apps and games.
Enjoy!
No need for a second account, u can either kill PStore or just restart the machine. It will (re)authenticate the session to a different server (hence, country).
There are easy ways to block this as well, it is just a matter of time to be honest.
However, this method is very loaded, you are opening a VPN for all the connections, there are way better methods for this, i.e Per APP VPN, why make the whole system use a slow connection when you can only have a list of apps that will use that connection. ProxyDroid is amazing, but requires root, i think it supports VPN-s as well .

Yes there are apps that provides fast and free VPN as well but most of the apps limits your usage, therefore not very efficient. You can switch off the connection once after the restriction is opened and use a faster connection, i.e wifi. And also this doesn't require root.

yup confirmed, play store doesn't seem to care about the source location for as long as it authenticates on a country that has the service enabled.
It would be really nice though to have an app that does not require root and can handle a list of apps, and use the proxy/vpn only for that specific list. i guess iptables play a role here.
I tried using my first account which is registered in Brunei and use VPN, cant get thru the restrictions.
I also found out using MarketAccess/MarketEnabler *requires root* and set it to UK/US, I can browse apps/games in Samsung Apps, without the need of VPN. But also could not buy any apps or games unless I have a bank account outside my country.
I'm pretty new to the world of Android and was wondering what are some "best"/"good" apps to hide your identity online? I've looked at the Google Play Store for Tor related apps but unsure if they're actually secure and reliable? What do you guys use for security/anonymity?
I use Spotflux and Hotspot Shield and I find that both are pretty good.
Have you ever tried disconnect me? Or just activate private mode in Firefox
There are two main Tor apps on the play store: Orbot and Orxy. Both have their own advantages and disadvantages. I've used both, and both work well.

Private mode in Firefox does not make you anonymous.
Using normal VPNs doesn't make you anonymous either. The VPN provider has all your details.
Remember, just using Tor will not make you fully anonymous. The torproject.org website has details, and the Orxy app store page has some tips.

IS it really that easy to steal ID from your phone?
The OP wants to browse the web anonymously and such services are helpful for that.
Its not to prevent your ID from getting 'stolen' but more to make sure you are not being tracked, access sites that may be blocked on your corporate network or country, etc. Ofcourse there are countless other uses as well.
Ill give you one small example - if you want to access a job portal from your work computer without being worried your company can see you are looking for a new job, you can use a VPN to sort of 'mask' the internet traffic.
Or if you live in a country where YouTube is blocked and you want to access it...
Hi, I'm a Samsung galaxy note 3 user, android version 4.4.2, I have it rooted, and xposed installed. I never installed xposed before but I installed it a couple of days ago and now I'm seeing that I can do a lot of things with it, and because of this I started wondering something.
Well, I have an app called Abematv which is a free japanese tv app that I can't use unless I connect through a japanese vpn. I do this by using an app called "japan vpn" and "openvpn connect for android". The problem with this is that sometimes is too slow and the video quality is very low. So I was wondering how could I make this app think I'm using a japanese vpn when I'm really connected to my home wifi without any vpn.
I don't know if this can be done but it sounds like it's the kind of thing that you do through a xposed module. If there's a module that can do this, I don't know how to search for it. So if anyone knows how to do this via xposed or via whatever it makes it possible, please leave a comment
Thanks

Ok well first things first. Don't mention lucky patcher here. It is banned as a Warez app and app developers will add code to that purposely causes issues if it is detected.
Depending in how it is getting your location you could make the device think it is in Japan. Something like mocking the Gps.

Hi, I eddited the message so the words don't appear. (would be good if you edit your message so the words don't appear there too, I don't want troubles xD) Thanks.
About the gps thing, I think it doesn't use the gps since I have it disabled and the app doesn't have the permission to get the location, so I think it gets the location based on the ip.
Not all VPN services are the same. Your current VPN service may be slow because it has you connecting through Japan. Nice VPN services allow you to connect to a VPN server in your country while they route your country VPN server to the final destination VPN server. This allows you to sometimes benefit with improved connection speeds. You can do free trials with most VPN services and I recommend maybe moving to another.
Example: Normal VPN> your-device->VPN server in japan->your-device
(upload/download limits determined by home network and ISP max connections)
Higher end VPN> your-device->local VPN->VPN server in japan->local VPN->your-device
(upload/download limit between VPNs determined by VPN servers which maximize limits before passing the information to your local device)
Other info relevant to the topic:
There are many options available to a developer to verify your location in today's internet.
Even your browser for your device has a unique "fingerprint" and if your gps or IP location changes they can still verify it's coming from the same device.
There are ways around browser fingerprinting.
With most programs, there is an order or hierarchy of testing your location. Spoofing your GPS may overrule an IP check. To overcome issues it's important to try and test and try even when met with failures. It's important to not be dismissive of possible solutions when troubleshooting an issue or searching for a work-around.

ok thanks, I will try to spoof the gps and will comment how it worked .
Hi, as you know, the P7 series comes with free VPN by Google One for 5 years.
And like most VPNs by big brands (Apple, Microsoft, Google), it doesn't allow manually switching the geolocation of the end server.
Is there a known way to do this for G1 VPN?
Ideal: modded G1 APK that doesn't require root.
Though I suspect rooting will be required , and isn't a problem for me.
How were you able to find the VPN settings? Couldn't find it in my P7pro settings
It says 'coming soon'. When it does arrive, I suspect it'll be via the Google One app, not Settings.
