Go to proxpn.com for $10 USD a month you can download their android app. No need for root. They have several vpn server locations such as x2 Usa, Uk Singapore and included is PC usage as well. Apparently it is no problems watching geolocation locked online tv

Don't bother with the Android app if you just need it temporary (Certainly don't bother with the windows client).
If you download the Windows Client exe you can open it with 7zip and get the openvpn config files (Attached to this post).
Which you can then use with :
https://proxpn.org/createaccount.php
And then just fill in the required items.
It says allot about the company that they don't even use a different certificate and key for each user.
(Or provide L2TP)
For 7$ a month you can get a really good VPS in the US.
(See lowendbox.com)
Then just set it up yourself. (Anything you want L2TP/IPSEC / Openvpn or PPTP).
You can find a tutorial to set this up for pretty much any Linux distro. (In a better manner than the god awful way they configure this).

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....

puTTY for Android ?

can anyone recommend application similar to PuTTY in windows ?
preferably free version
AW: puTTY for Android ?
Check the App: ConnecBot
You can find in google play store
Also recommended to use the connectbot is the "hackers keyboard"
Sent from my GT-N8010 using xda app-developers app
I would also recommend terminal emulator and "ssh [email protected]"
I use AirTerm. It can install KBOX so you can have a functional Busybox on a non rooted system as well.

Anyone knows how could i get access to my exernal proxy server from my Android device?
Actually i'm able to get access from my windows computer, to my proxy via tunnel, using putty and it works.
Because in putty im able to set the company proxy to access the internet.
In connectbot or sshtunnel android apps, there is no way to set the proxy (company for example) to access the internet
and the application don't access to the address of my ssh server (ip address:443) due to restictions.
now my device is connected via wifi (with a shared connection) and of course i'm connected to the network with all the restrictions of the case.
Anyone have a solution ?
I hope is it clear
Thanks alot...
Its quite complicate,
you need a local proxy on android like plink for windows. If it works with plink on windows try ssh on android instead. use the same syntax.
someting like "ssh -L your.tunnel.url 80:localhoste:443"

Using Proxy (exact alternative to VPN) in Android multiuser.

Hello All,
Im just gonna cut to the chase and not give long introductions. For those of you running the 'secondary' or 'non-owner' account in Android multiuser, you know it is impossible for the secondary user to use VPN. That would require you to actually open the primary/owner account and launch the VPN from there which is quite frustrating and unfeasible. So heres how you CAN do it. I researched for months on how to do it on my Xperia Tablet Z LTE and I found a way. :laugh:
REMEMBER : IF YOU WANT IT TO WORK EXACTLY LIKE VPN, THAT IS PROXYING/BYPASSING BLOCKED SITES /PROXY CHANNELING FOR EVERY APP,YOU WILL NEED ROOT!
First: Root your phone. Optional but Recommended.
Second : You can check root by any app..There are some on Google Play.
Third : Download OrBot from Google Play (cant post links as Im new user :crying:
Fourth : Install It. If you dont have/wanna root you can use OrWeb (for browsing internet on your device through proxy/bypassing block) You can find it on Google Play, You can use a few selected apps that support OrBot natively (Google's your friend) AND ANY other app which supports channeling its data through a proxy tunnel.
Fifth : For proxy tunneling use 'localhost' or '127.0.0.1' in HOST field and use '8118' in PORT field for ANY APP WHICH DOES SUPPORT CHANNELING ITS NETWORK DATA THROUGH A PROXY CHANNEL.
Sixth : In case you DO have root.It easy as pie for you to channel ALL NETWORK DATA through OrBot. Simply use the 'Transparent Proxying' option in OrBot settings.
Seventh : Enjoy unblocked sites and complete privacy.
REMEBER : ORBOT IS A VERY EFFICIENT AND COMPLETELY EFFECTIVE WAY TO HIDE YOUR IDENTITY ONLINE. Read more at its website.
Hope I helped. If so, hit the thanks button!

You can set your whole WIFI connection to go through proxy. When you connect to a network, and type in the WIFI password, click on the "Show advanced options" checkbox, and select "Manual" from the "Proxy" dropdown. I wonder if it would work like that, too!
Probably not a success.

VyprVPN. Use it on two laptops and on the phone. Its very good.
Some additional features to prevent DNS leaks and another feature that i forgot the name of that disguises the fact you are using a VPN for traffic(Useful for the office, that blocks all VPN connections over the WiFi.)
Tunnel Bear as suggested by @jhurtault is really good...
Vypr is good for cross platform compatibility...
PureVPN one subscription work on computer + Android phone

Little late to answer, but:
SuperVPN and Cyberghost VPN. The latter being more configurable and generally better for me.
i use superVPN.. its free..

Can I make an app think I'm using a japan vpn without actually using 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.
