Are you using Wifi or 3G/Edge? Looks like the problem is with the admin that setup your Wifi.
Well sounds like you are using their DNS servers and someone blocked gmail.
go to opendns.com while tethering to change your settings if you can. You should see a "dashboard" link at the top right of the page.
OpenDNS is an alternative DNS service (normally DNS is provided by the ISP). Wifi-Tether-For-Root by default has OpenDNS hardcoded in as the default DNS (instead of T-Mo's DNS servers). Since all traffic on T-Mo 3G is routed through their central server, regardless of where you are physically, your ip on the internet will appear as coming from a T-Mo data center in Missouri or Kansas or something. Perhaps someone has maliciously set up an OpenDNS account with this ip and locked out gmail.
Edit: I am having no problems getting to gmail using WT4R. My tmo ip was different from the usual though. Perhaps they are load-balancing their US network. Last time I checked, my tmo ip came out in Kansas. This time however, it came out of Rhode Island. Strange, considering I am physically in California.
Could you lookup your internet-side ip address while tethering and see which tmo datacenter you appear to be coming from when your gmail access is restricted?
This is the first time I've ever used wifi tether. Was kinda wierd to see gmail was blocked. Working on setting up an opendns acct now.
Ok....I'm totally lost now. I've got an opendns acct setup. I'm lookin at the dashboard thing, and have no idea what to change to fix this issue?
You are going to want to go here https://www.opendns.com/dashboard/settings/
It should show your current IP in the drop down.
Turn off the filtering and make sure nothing down below is added.

Easy enough to figure out my ip addy....but no idea how to do the rest.
Weird thing though...I signed up fro an opendns acct, browsed around a bit in the dashboard and now gmail works? ~edit~ nvermind, spoke too soon...gmail is blocked again.
For some reason I have a problem wrapping my brain around this kinda stuff.
your ip could have changed

I see my IP under the network tab. Under the settings tab it says "to control your settings, you need to add a network to your account." If I click "add a network" it takes me back to the network tab where my ip is displayed. If I click add network, it says network already exists?
Bleh....
Like i said, T-Mo is likely load balancing across their many gateways. My guess is whoever locked gmail out only did it to one of the gateways. Your best bet is to change the DNS servers away from opendns.

The reason is because only one openvpn account can control a network. Whoever has messed up that tmo gateway has full control of it until that person or openvpn changes the situation.

It might be enough to edit /data/data/android.tether/conf/dnsmasq.conf with a text editor and substitute out the DNS values in there with your own DNS. I'll try it out later.

"wifi tether" should update the dnsmasq.conf-file automatically (will take the dns from your 2G/3G-connection) - this was introduced in version 0.95.
Type ... "getprop net.dns1" into terminal ... that should exactly be the nameserver in dnsmasq.conf (after you have started tethering).
Bleh....I need a break from phone tweaking for a bit. Buuurn ouuuut
Works for me
I just got home, tethered just to see if it would affect me too. Not problems at all.

harry_m is right. When I tethered to my G1 via WT4R (ver 0.9.6) and visited opendns.com, it showed the "Start using OpenDNS" button, indicating my currently used DNS was not OpenDNS. I verified that WT4R had fetched the G1's internal DNS setting by checking the dnsmasq.conf:
Code:
$ su
# cat /data/data/android.tether/conf/dnsmasq.conf
no-resolv
no-poll
server=10.177.0.34
server=10.176.80.242
I suggest you reinstall WT4R and choose no when it gives you the option to import old settings. This way, it will build your configuration files from scratch (and not use OpenDNS).
hi, is there any app which is able to switch different ip address and DNS for different wifi AP? I have fixed IP at home and then when i try to connect to any other, i have to delete fixed IP settings and when back home write it back.
tried google but no luck
thanks
so as i see, there is propably no app
I tried this too, and found the exact same problem. I know of no way to save different "profiles" for wifi settings.
The solution I found is to have IP address reservation enabled on my router, and to use the MAC address of my phone so that it is always assigned the same IP address.
Same result - just a different way of doing it. It does, however, mean I can have wifi settings for multiple places now.
have you guys tried wifiprofiles?

Hello did somebody can help me with setting up the dns of my TP-Link TL-WR740N i mange to make the dns to be to following in FunkyHuawei instruction but my eRecovery cant get the pacage and i get very upset about giving mt 18$ away without anything , if someone know the fix i will be very thankful
hey there, maybe you can refer to the instruction here: http://setuprouter.com/router/tp-link/tl-wr740n/dns.htm
the dns of funkyhuawei as of now should be:
Primary DNS: 213.202.238.238
Secondary DNS: 1.2.3.4
After you have set up, go to https://dnsleaktest.com to see if the dns setting is effective.

i assume your PPoE connection goes through the router, and that you have set the DNS correctly on the router. they DNS setting in the router should override the DNS setting provided via PPPoE. it doesnt matter if you have fixed or dynamic ip address. if your pc and phone uses that same router then they should use the same DNS.

Nvm i contaced Funky Huawei and they provided me with another methoud that fix my phone.
I think they changed their DNS tho..
$ nslookup www.zoom.com 213.202.238.238
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
I normally set an IP address to all my wireless devices in my router's settings. Upon configuring my N20U5G I immediately checked on its WIFi MAC address so that I can manually set an IP address through my router. Lo and behold, my Asus RT-AX88U registered a different MAC address for the phone.
Have you guys checked if the same is true to yours?

Thanks! I actually found it out when I toyed around the phone before going back to this thread. Not having a Samsung phone for a while really gives me something to learn about this phone daily. Cheers!
I just upgraded from an S9+ to the S22 Ultra, and I'm having some DNS problems. I run my own local DNS, and my DHCP server hands out that address as DNS 1 and OpenDNS as DNS 2. I've checked the settings on my phone, and it is getting those addresses in that order from DHCP. But whenever my phone goes to resolve an address it uses OpenDNS, not my primary server and I have no idea why.
I know there was a recent issue with Android no longer resolving ".local" domains, but I don't think that relates to this issue since I'm using ".workgroup".
I have no idea how to start troubleshooting this and I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. Thanks!
Maybe this from
Local DNS resolution suddenly stopped working... - Google Pixel Community
Ran into the same problem however I have resolved the issue temporarily by using IP address of server instead of base url i-e https://example.dev.local to the IP address such as 10.10.10.152

That does seem like a similar issue, with no apparent resolution unfortunately. I should be able to access local resources via IP, but then that kind of ruins the purpose of using DNS. Thanks for the reply anyway.

DNS 1 and 2 aren't necessarily used in any order, it's random which one the phone accesses each time. It's not reliable to use 2 DNS servers and assume it's always going to use the first one.
Have you tried to only hand out the local DNS and nothing for DNS 2 to see if it works properly? Then you can narrow down if it is in fact an issue with DNS resolution or the phone using the wrong DNS server that you gave it.

Yeah, I just removed OpenDNS from my DHCP config and it works fine. I suppose I don't need OpenDNS in there, I just had it as a fallback.
