[Q] VPN doesn't seem to work. - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I haven't rooted my device or anything and have the latest updates. I have used VPN before and it worked fine, but then without a real reason it stopped working. I have used several apps and none of them seem to make a difference. I mainly used it to get acess to a playstore in another region, since mine is very restricted.
I have tried resetting the device and it did nothing.
Anyone know a solution for this?

There are literally no messages appearing. I have tried cyberghost it says it connects, but the playstore looks the same without any apps. I have tried using Psiphon and when looking at the log it says "handshake request failed *server name*" several times and then it connects. Then I open the playstore and it looks the same without any new apps. The same with OpenVPN, Vpn1Click, Unlimited VPN and so on.
It is really frustrating me that I can't find an answer anywhere on the internet, I seem like the only one with this weird issue.
Wondering if I should try resetting it again, but I risk not getting the apps I got over VPN back again.

Won't connect to android market ()

Hello everyone,
Just got a new LG Optimus One.
I'm having trouble connecting to Android Market, I get the following error message.
"A network error has occurred. retry or cancel and return to the previous screen" and some other times it comes up with another error message ""No connection" (text) "Retry" (button)"
I can connect to the internet via the phones built-in web browser so it's not a network issue and the android market works when I'm connected to a WiFi access point.
What do you think I could do to fix this problem.
Kind Regards,
dmk0
Try to update the market

Android Market only works with 3G and WiFi. It will not work with 2g or edge.

I can't test it, as I only have 3G and WiFi. I read it somewhere that's why I posted. And as he said Market works on WiFi. It is obvious right?
Edit: I was right, Market does not work on GPRS. 2G is too slow for Market

I'm off home to my native for the past 3days ..its a small town --no 3G nor wifi here!! n my damn fckin fone is pissing me giving problems exactly as u stated ..everything was five until I was using 3g but now don't know why but connection keeps getting timed out in market ..( I'm able to download from browser)..
I'm on market 3.4.4 ..
Any help? ? Its IRRITATINGGGGGGG!!

Market version 2.3.x (old market) works on 2G/EDGE. New Market (3.0) does not work on 2G/EDGE.
Not sure if I should put this in a new thread or continue it here because my problem got worse.
I decided to do a factory reset of the phone and it ended up making things worse.
Now the inbuilt web browser works but none of the applications worked with the internet connection. I tried android market, gmail and youtube apps and none of them worked. Where as gmail email app worked before.
When I try to enter Username and Password for the gmail account (I wait for a few minutes with the waiting message "Your phone needs to communicate with Google's servers..." Once that's finished thinking I get the following error message "Can't Establish a reliable data connection to the server. This could be a temporary problem or your phone may not be provisioned for data services. If it continues, call Customer Care.".
I'm in 3G mode all the time (with three and sometimes four bars). Sometimes in a mode called "E" which I suppose is Edge and I've been trying all night and haven't had any luck.
I might bite the bullet and call customer care to try and help me but with my previous experience I don't expect they can offer me much help other than returning my phone and asking for a new one. My professional experience with phones tells me there shouldn't be a fault but I cannot put myself to fault. There must be something fishy going on with this phone.
EDIT: (Additional Info) When I try to connect to the Weather I also get the error message "Weather service is temporarily unavailable." Just after I tried the web browser and google loads up fine.
Market 3.4.4 work 2g/edge but when 2g speed is very slow it gives same error i also have this problem but this is not the problem of market it is the problem of speed because sometime 2g speed is very slow i from india in which 2g speed very slow so sometime market give the error.
problem solved!
i had this same problem on my coby kyros tablet. it doesn't have any connection other than wifi, and i could browse the web, but not connect to the market.
after trying a few different things i noticed the time was way off, and went to fix it, then realized that some how the date had been changed to jan, 27th, 2011. i changed the date, time, and time zone, and the market started working perfectly.
DOUBLE CHECK YOU TIME, DATE, AND TIME ZONE!
get your old market back!!!

I got the phone from Virgin Mobile with there settings preconfigured. It's VM branded too.
I re-entered APN and mysteriously it worked, sad thing is the APN I entered was exactly the same except I changed two of the characters from lowercase to uppercase.

YOU NEED ROOT

[Q] Rooted P6210 Google market cant connect but it can browse the web fine.

Hey guys, my rooted P6210 seems to have a Google market connection issue. It seems to have happened overnight, it was fine for weeks..and i didn't notice it until i tried to use the market to add a paid app. I get a great wi-fi connection in my home and can browse the internet with no problem but the g-market can't connect and it simply retries. I have deleted the accounts on the device to no avail Any suggestions will help.
Were you able to recreate the accounts successfully?
Try these things:
1. Clear market data
2. re-setup market accounts
3. make sure the date and time on the tab is correct
I discovered mine had reset to the year 2000 after the battery went completely dead. With an incorrect clock, certificate negotiations will fail.

Also, have you tried a different wifi network? Its a long shot but I suppose the port that the market uses could be blocked

I swear i am not the Geico caveman
Wow, problem solved. I had no idea the date or time had changed because of a charge issue. My brain tells me since the device has an active connection to the internet it would do this all by itself and i never check the tab for those purposes. Now all i need to do is get which exact files to flash using Odin so i can go back to 100% stock. I have searched and found the files but no ((really clear)) directions on which files get flashed. There are 3 all together. Hey you guys made my day..really.

play store "no connection" error

Every now and then my play store doesn't work although everything else is working. What is the reason for this. It will say no connection I press retry over and over with no result. Also when I connect to WiFi it also sometimes doesn't work? Please help! [emoji29]

I have problem same with you. Maybe you can try to clear playstore cache and data, it's work for me.
But it's still happens every now and then I need a permanent fix

It happens to me too occasionally, over different phones, roms/stock firmwares and even internet sources...I thought that's just how the Play Store is and there's no fix to it...
You can try some solutions on the internet though and maybe one of them works for you, such as:
1 - deleting the cache as suggested by lietsen already
2 - check your phone's date and time settings
3 - delete your hosts file
4 - other fixes as suggested here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help/play-store-problem-connection-how-to-fix-t2200442

Google Play Store - No Connection Retry Error

Hi guys. I am having this headache type issue for many days. Any help would be appreciated.
I live in Pakistan and here Youtube access is blocked but from the last few days play store never connects. I also made a complain to my ISP but they said it is not their fault. The problem according to them is "Play store sending/receiving data from Youtube tunnel." They said me to complain Google dieectly. Many of my friends are facing this issue so this is not my Android problem. I also changed the time zone of my smartphone as read by me in one article but still same issue persists. But, i found something which really worked for some days and now it doesn't. I was reading about it then i found something in which a person described to change my DNS 1 /DNS 2 Address from Wifi - Advanced settings. So i changed DNS 1 to 8.8.8.8 and DNS 2 to 8.8.4.4. I turned off wifi after saving it and then blaah! My google play store worked for some days but from yesterday i am constantly facing this No Connection error. I also remived and added my account. Gmail is also not Syncing. But my play store still works on a VPN. Please help. Here are the screenshots for better guidance
Hi, Are you Rooted?
No. But my friend edited hosts file but still same error on his htc explorer. Many peoples are not having an access to play store here. What to do, don't know
freedom!!

No i dont use it bro
Try to clear cache and data of playstore,playservice.

Its look like you using vpn..
Maybe you was disable it to network work online..
Old Android
No i wasnt disabled. I am not using vpn. Without vpn it wont work buddy.
But using vpn can make not work too..
Doesn't have data plan?
Wifi?
Old Android
I am on wifi. My play store wont work without a vpn. Maybe some firewall blocking access to it. While i use vpn, i can connect. How can i debug the culprit?
Reformat/reset factory.. maybe.. or you vpn settings causing this..
Using The Old Android
I tried it but still same.
Your vpn settings?
Using The Old Android
I am not using any P2P VPN. Whenever i use HSS and SpeedVPN, play store starts to work.!
Your friends phone has a same problem?
Using The Old Android
Yes because play store routing its data from youtube and youtube is blocked here. Sometimes it access packets directly and it works ...but sometimes. Any solution?

Disable app from internet?

So after upgrading to marshmallow Portal doesn't work. It keeps trying to download even though everything been downloaded and then says there was an error. I've uninstalled and reinstalled a few times and each time it installs it downloads the data fine and let's me play. Once I close it and reopen it it does the same download and fails. Turning off wifi makes it work but that's annoying.
Is there a way to just stop the app from accessing internet as of my wifi was off?

Of course! Netguard. The best firewall for Android.

I tried all those apps and it still has the download and fail crap. I spend over an hour last night using all of those apps.
Did you configure Netguard properly?
I believe so. I'm fairly sure I've tried everything with the app. I tested it on Facebook and Facebook wouldn't connect.
You should block WiFi and mobile by default. Also, show and edit system apps! Maybe the game uses a system app to go online.
Looks like it uses Google Play services.
