[Q] Is Hide my Ass blocked by AT&T?

I'm trying to set up Hide my Ass VPN in my rooted Captivate but I can't get an Internet connection. Has anybody managed to set up HMA in a Captivate? If so, are there any special settings?
PS. Support told me that "Most providers block ports, use some proxies etc. which prevents VPN over 3G connections". How can I undo this?

I am no expert on VPN but if the ports services are being blocked on the ISP/3g/ect side there is nothing you can do just like some home ISP's that actively block servers on the home class connections the only way to get around it is pay for the plan that doesn't block those services/ports which is probably the VERY expensive enterprise package.

i dont know anything about HMA, but any other VPN option requires tun.ko module support in the kernel in order for it to work.

Thanks, I'll look into that.

mobiletechvideos has good tun.ko vid

Use dyndns.org unless my ISP just doesn't block the ports needed (which wouldn't surprise me, they do have the telnet port open on an internal router) but I've setup a VPN very easily using them. I just had PPTP encryption, not sure how something like L2TP would work across it or not.

[Q] Wifi autoproxy

ok, i've been looking for an app for a while now, and have not found anything thats close to what i need.
my business has two wifi networks.
one for employees and one for customers.
the problem is, when i need to test something on the customer wifi, (and any others) is that the proxy settings are a global setting, not a wifi specific setting.
is there an app that changes that for you when it picks up a different network?
(say, swaps the proxy settings to nothing when a specific saved network is found, and changes it to defined settings when another saved one is connected to)
would be amazing if there was, and it did not need root access.

in ICS(Android 4.0) you can set proxy for each wifi network

Use proxydroid (free) from Google Play Store... You can create profiles for each wi-fi network and bind these profiles to the wi-fi network so it starts automatically when you are connected to the wi-fi network. You need to be rooted for proxydroid to work.

still sets a global proxy, just makes it look like its wifi-specific.

Try Autoproxy, the name says it all. Also on the market.

[Q] Are you using your phone as a modem or personal hotspot? Three UK

Hi Guys,
I wonder , if there is some way to cheat my mobile network provider, who block my htc one x , when I want to use it as a modem or wifi hotspot .
When I open my web browser on my laptop I can see
"Are you using your phone as a modem or personal hotspot?
Reference SIM002
Connecting your phone to other devices to use it as a modem so they can access the internet (also called "tethering") is not what your plan was designed for.
If you're on a Pay Monthly plan other than The One Plan and you want to tether, you'll need to buy an Add-on. You'll then get a tethering allowance. Unfortunately our Pay As You Go tariffs and some of our older Pay Monthly plans aren't compatible with tethering Add-ons.
To find out what Add-ons you can get on your plan, and to buy an Add-on, visit your My3 account on your phone or computer and select Buy Add-ons.
If you're having problems accessing the internet on your phone after you've seen a warning message about tethering you just need to turn your phone off and back on again. You'll need to buy an Add-on if you want to keep tethering.
If you're looking for an internet connection, our Mobile Broadband offers great value for using the internet on devices like tablets and laptops. Find out more about our Mobile Broadband at three.co.uk/mbb."
However Skype and FB messenger work fine.
I'll be grateful for any help

Any help woukd be seriously appreciated
Thanks

Subscribed! Had a WiFi tether app which I used to use on the Note 3 on Three UK but now got a new phone Nexus 6P and can't tether using that app on three as it uses my allowed "tether allowance" of only 4gb/month on an unlimited plan
I want to tether to my Nexus 7 tablet without rooting the 6P.

Go to bestvpnservice i hope this web helps you

I hope the above methods will work. I was using a vpn beforehand and I was not satisfied with the services. Finally I got a vpn client i.e. Hotspot Shield for mobile which offers me complete system security and keeps my online activities safe from online snipers. I am using it on my iPhone 5 and it works seamlessly on my device.

[Q] Texting and/or Calling App that works without wifi or mobile network!

I am looking for a app that works without a wifi or a mobile 3G network. I have three different smartphones that I need to install this app on: One is a Galaxy S3, the other is a BB, and the last one is a Virgin Mobile Venture. I need a app that will allow me to communicate to the phones that require no wifi or mobile network access. Is there any out there?

So you want it to work via Bluetooth ?
Are these phones always going to be near each other with BT turned on ?
Can it use mobile data, just not "3G" ?
What are you trying to accomplish ?

I don't know how or what you want them to "communicate". But you could definitely hook them all up to the computer through usb and they would "communicate".
Wireless communication will not be possible without some sort of transceiver. And Bluetooth may be a possible solution for file transfers. It will really depend on your capabilities and knowhow.
The more I think about it, the more I feel that this post is a prank.

How do you plan on sending a call without a network or any type of wireless signal transfer you can't use Bluetooth because that would only allow you to call people right next to you or in the same room maybe a couple rooms over your voice travels farther then a Bluetooth connection does. And connecting it to your computer to call someone does you know good without and internet connection. So your back to your voice again....its kind of impossible to do what you are trying to do.

I think that a lot, but I've seen people come up with some truly unique questions.

Thank you, This is not a prank, I am looking for something that will be able to communicate without a mobile network, I seen someone had at least a texting app that worked, but i am looking for one that you can call as well as text without the mobile network. I see now that it is unrealistic to say without wifi or mobile network.

Thank you for the response. They are not all going to be in the same area at the same time, and I am unable to use the mobile network.

Pen, paper, and a stamp?

I think the app you're looking for is KakaoTalk https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kakao.talk&hl=en
It's a cross-platform (Android, iOS, BlackBerry) free texting and calling app.
Of course, you need some kind of data connection, either WiFi or 3G.
I assume you're travelling out of your country and don't want to pay roaming fees, so you would have to find a WiFi hotspot to use this app.

a app that works without a wifi
just have a try of Xender,it can transfer pictures, videos, documents even contact list to friends at a moment! one of its most important advantages is it runs without wifi. so i want to suggest it because it is very convenniet .
if you like it, please share it with your friends~
