It means that proxy is also blocked by your ISP/country. Try different one until you'll find working.
Using VPN account enabling you to open blocked websites by bypassing internet restrictions and accessing any blocked content connecting to multi European servers giving you free and anonymous surfing
I live in Tanzania but I am an American and have an American billing address. This morning I woke up and both my tablet and phone asked me to re-accept the play store agreement. To my wondering eyes I now have access to the US Play Store with music, TV, and everything. It is also the same way on my PC. I wasn't running a VPN or using the Market Enabler app. My IP clearly shows that I am located in Tanzania. The only thing I can think is that the Play Store is now getting my location from my billing address. Is anyone else having this same fortune?
Also I don't think they just extended the store to Tanzania because I can see even particular apps which are normally only in the US store. And other apps which aren't in the US play store I still can't see (like the VLC beta).
Shouldn't this be news or something?
Edit: My wife is not getting the same results. One difference there is that her account is a free gmail account and mine is g apps for business. Maybe that's important.
Yeah I noticed something similar too. I bought a nexus from Germany to Slovenia with a German virtual credit card and through a forwarding service.
So I guess that the store now thinks that I live in Germany. Just now I noticed that the Play Store app on all my devices started showing music, movies, books and other stuff from German Play Store.
The same on PC without VPN or proxy. It seems they removed all geolocation IP checks and now require just correct billing address and/or credit card.
Well I guess I can't complain.
Hello XDA-Developers
I am living in germany and i want to try Google Music All Access. I know it is possible with a US-proxy. With my second account i can choose All Access. But with my main Google Account i can´t choose the All Access Option.
Everytime i try to login with a US-proxy i get the german site. I put all information in my google account to US. So all things in the account are now US, i also deleted my payment methods and added american addresses. But i get only the german site with every login, but only with the main account.. :/
Anybody can maybe help me?

You can use various (free) proxy programs like TunnelBear (http://www.tunnelbear.com/). With this program i have successfully activated my Google Music account from The Netherlands.
Same here :-\ If I'm logged out everything is US, but if I log me in, everything switches to the german site.
But I was able to order something from the US play store.
So how to transform my german to a US account?
Hola Unblocker (extension), if your running Chrome Browser on a PC
Lets me use the Google Play Store from Thailand so I can view hardware.
So, I live in Mexico. There is a company called Movistar (Telefonica in EU) and I have one of their pre-paid plans (I use a Nexus 5).
The pre-paid plan is the equivalent of $15 US dollars every 30 days. You just go to any convenience store or a big retail store and you pay at the register.
Well, my pre-paid plan offers me:
500 minutes to any company, USA and Canada numbers included.
100 SMS to any any company.
Unlimited minutes and SMS to any other Movistar phone.
Unlimited access to WhatsApp, Facebook, Twitter and Gmail.
250MB of data.
And for some strange reason, I can stream Spotify too, unlimited, even if I use the 250MB.
Well, after I use the 250MB (in like a day), everytime I want to access, for example, a website, I get redirected to a Movistar page that says that I consumed the 250MB. OK, that's fine. Perfectly normal.
Obviously I can still use Facebook, WhatsApp, Twitter, Gmail, both apps and website versions.
But, most of the Google services still work. Keep, Drive, Docs, Maps, most of the syncing too (no YouTube).
But I also have HotSpot Shield installed ($25 US dollars per year) and if I'm connected to the VPN, I get absolutely unlimited Internet.
How? Why does that happens? I'm not complaining, I'm just curious.
Sounds like they're analysing the packet headers looking for a user agent string of the browser

Either they analyze the packets as said above, or they lock your data down via IP, which is unlikely since it would need to be static.

I'm thinking its the former. Some UK carriers use this method to detect tethering. You could tether an iPad but then browser would bring up a carrier page stating that tethering couldn't be used but fat client apps that don't use user agents (Facebook etc) worked fine. It kind of makes sense given the symptoms, although its a strange beat to do it in this instance.

Haha either scenario would be strange.
Thank you guys for your responses.
So, why do I unlock unlimited data when I activate HotSpot Shield VPN? For example, the other day I did a test and I downloaded over 10GB of data (using a torrent client). And it's all prepaid. No hidden fees and stuff.
Also... something weird happens when I finish my 250MB.
The signal/data icon becomes orange instead of white and I don't get Facebook notifications anymore (I still get WhatsApp, Gmail and other notifications, but not Facebook).
And let's say that during the day I received 50 messages from Facebook.,, as soon as I connect to a WiFi or if I activate the VPN, I get the 50 notifications of the messages all at once.

To elaborate on my scenario. A browser has a user agent string. For example, this may say you ate using Firefox on a desktop computer. Some mobile carriers have a database of all "desktop" user agents and if this is what they detect through packet analysis, will block it. They will also do the same for things that say safari tablet. ...or maybe even they detect you have nexus 5 and only allow that user agent string.
So flipping that in reverse, maybe your carrier only looks for android mobile, or whatever your user agent string is. Check here using a browser...
http://www.whatsmyuseragent.com/
For chrome I get:
Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 4.4.4; Build/KTU84Q) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/37.0.2062.71 Safari/537.36
Yet for dolphin in desktop mode I get:
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_6_3; en-us) AppleWebKit/537.16 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.0 Safari/537.16
See in the last how it doesn't say android? This user agent string is used by *most* sites to detect you're mobile and therefore give you mobile websites instead. Changing bathe string can give you desktop mode instead. That's what dolphins "desktop" mode does. Note, some sites use a new method I don't understand yet.
Browsers always have a user agent, whether you're osx, iOS, linux , windows, android etc. Most non_browser apps do not have one. That's why torrent clients, Facebook, Tapatalk maybe can work on tether and not browsers. If you receive back message only in a browser yet other apps work, it stands to reason that this is how it could be done. You can test it. Install dolphin and set to desktop mode. Still get the message?
For the VPN question, I'll keep it simple. Whenever you communicate over a network, you are transmitting packets of data. This data has information attached, such as then user agent string. These packets are seem by the network you are travelling through. If you load Google, in simple terms, you send a packet asking to load Google, to Google. Google responds with a packet that will be the web page. The network sees this because it routes the traffic.
With a VPN (virtually private network) you are creating a tunnel between your end point device (n5 in this case) and a server. This tunnel, burrows through your network to then server. Then tunnel is impenetrable. The network cannot see then packets. They're encrypted. It cannot see any user agent string or anything else. It doesnt need to either as your network does not route the traffic inside the tunnel. When you VPN tons server then load Google, the server uses its internet connection to load the page. The server sends a packet to google using its network. You are connected into the same network as the server so your carrier sees nothing.
To try and clarify my VPN rambling... Imagine a laptop for a company you work. You plug a network cable in on site and you connect to their network. You can see intranet and network drives. Pull out cable, gone. Go home, still gone. VPN is a way of creating back network connection into work as if you were on site. With a cable. It creates a secure, encrypted connection between you and your company.
I hope this helps.

Unproven theory in your case
Sorry about all the typos above. I can't remember having typed that much on my n5 keyboard ever before.

Do you have a theory for this?
Something weird happens when I finish my regular 250MB.
The signal/data icon becomes orange instead of white and I don't get Facebook notifications anymore (I think I don't get WhatsApp and Gmail notifications too, but I can't remember).
And let's say that during the day I received 50 messages from Facebook during work... as soon as I connect to my WiFi at home or if I activate the VPN, I get the 50 notifications of the messages all at once.
Orange just means no connection to Google servers. Some apps that are not browsers are detectable in a similar way to user agent string. It all fits in with the theory. You'll have to test it yourself.
Facebook, who can theorise anything with that?

hi
I have a Huawei p40 with GMS running.
yesterday linkedin stopped working and said i must download the Chinese version which only has jobs and no network functions.
I deleted the app and reinstalled using VPN from Google play in the UK. Disabled my Chinese sim as well.
I can pick different locations on the VPN and checked on google and it says the IP address is Germany or the UK, but the linkedin app says i am still in China so cant use,.
Any idea what they are using to determine I am in China. I also turned off GPS.
Blame the CCP
Be careful as there may be social credit rating and/or criminal penalties for noncompliance
Not a pretty picture.
The last US-owned social media platform in China is closing down
LinkedIn is the last US-owned social media platform in China. Its new app, a jobs board site, will launch in late 2021 without social features for sharing articles, ideas, and opinions.
