There is a VPN client built into the phone check if it works for you

Yes, but adding a VPN client forces additional security even when the VPN is not activated. I hate to key in a passcode every time I want to wake up my phone.. is there a play store alternative?

There are differencies between VPN app and VPN server.
What you're asking there is a VPN server, not a VPN app.
There are plenty of free VPN on the web, but they're, most of the tine, unsecured and bandwidth limited. Not a good idea in fact.
But, I don't have understand yet why would you want to use VPN. If a website is locked in your country, the most efficiency solution will be using a proxy. But if some udp/tcp are not available or restricted, there, the VPN could be usefull.
- VPN = creating a secure connexion between a point A and B using a dedicated udp/tcp port.
- Proxy = sending a tcp/udp request to a remote server, the server will do it for you and send the result back to you.
Please, be more accurate in what you're searching for

HS shield is itself a VPN, add a VPN inside another is a bas idea, at least if I understand what you said.
The devs have made a android version (here) but only for 2.0+ and is not available for ICS.
A way do it without an app could be to retrieve VPN settings from inside HS shield if you're using it on your computer.

Before trying to make OpenVPN work properly, do you have a fixed ip adress or a dynamic one ?
If you don't know, check your public adress before and after turning off/on your modem.
If you have a fixed one, just use your ip as VPN adress, set the port to 443 (for SSL encryption) and use the login you set in OpenVPN settings.
If you have a dynamic ip, you must use a dynamic DNS, such as DynDNS. This way you'll have an url adress (ex. hellow95.dyndns-server.com) that will always point to your ip.
There are many detailed tutorials on the web for this.
I'm a DynDNS client for about two years and I never been disapointed (I'm using it to link my dynamic ip that I can access my NAS everywhere), so you can go ahead without regrets.

.. OpenVPN is a little different to setup than pptp vpn... Did you succeed with OpenVPN thru android to a Synology box? Tutorial for that? Maybe?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium

PPTP VPN is too unsecure by the way, try to stay away from this crap
Well, I've set mine a long time ago on my Debian (yes, I use a home-made NAS).
First, you have to install OpenVPN if you don't did yet.
If not ->
connect to your server via SSH and :
> ipkg update
> ipkg install openvpn

Then we create the init script vi /opt/etc/init.d/S20openvpn
#!/bin/sh
#
# Startup script for openvpn server
#
# Make sure IP forwarding is enabled
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
# Make device if not present (not devfs)
if ( [ ! -c /dev/net/tun ] ) then
# Make /dev/net directory if needed
if ( [ ! -d /dev/net ] ) then
mkdir -m 755 /dev/net
fi
mknod /dev/net/tun c 10 200
fi
# Make sure the tunnel driver is loaded
if ( !(lsmod | grep -q "^tun") ); then
insmod /lib/modules/tun.ko
fi
# If you want a standalone server (not xinetd), then comment out the return statement below
return 0
## This is for standalone servers only!!!!
# Kill old server if still there
if [ -n "`/opt/bin/pidof openvpn`" ]; then
/opt/bin/killall openvpn 2>/dev/null
fi
# Start the openvpn daemon - add as many daemons as you want
#/opt/sbin/openvpn --daemon --cd /opt/etc/openvpn --config openvpn.conf
/opt/sbin/openvpn --cd /opt/etc/openvpn --daemon --log-append /var/log/openvpn.log --config /opt/etc/openvpn/config/server.ovpn
# [EOF]

Now let's check if the module is loaded
> insmod /lib/modules/tun.ko
>dmesg | grep tun
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
By now OpenVPN should be good to go.
But before, we need to create en encryption key, you can follow the tuts here (it comes from Debian Wiki)
Then once your VPN server is set, just type the infos into Android and enjoy.
I use OpenVPN to manage throught SSH my NAS and access my Transmission server
P.S: the tuts is not from me, I pick it up from a french community nammed MyHost. But if you got some problems with it, don't hesitate to pm me.

[Q] Anyone with a Galaxy Nexus could you answer a question or two for me about ICS.

Basically I need to know if the proxy settings in ICS support the use of "proxy scripts" or something of similar description.
I intend to get the Transformer Prime for use at university but really it's only useful to me if I can get the entire OS working online and not just the few apps that support proxy scripts (only found Opera to allow it so far) so I just want to know if that option is in the base OS this time around.
Thanks.

There is something called 'Install web scripts' under Accessibility, but I am not sure what it does. It asks 'Do you want apps to install scripts from Google that make their web content more accessible?'.
But I don't know what it does or why it is there.

Doesn't the config script mean it's an HTTP socket proxy? If so it can only work at the HTTP layer, which means you are pretty much limited to using browsers. An Android-wide setting would have to work at the TCP(UDP)/IP layer, which isn't concerned with this proxy.

I've just tried something. I don't need the script.
I can deselect the script and just enter a "Proxy Server" (makes more sense if you were looking at LAN settings in Windows) which just appears to be an IP/port.

[howto] get Orbot (Tor network) transparent proxying working

*REQUIRES ROOT*
Warning: Follow these directions at your own risk! I take no responsibility for any damage to your phone, personal information, dog, cat, or grandmother that may result from you voluntarily following these directions. If you blame me, I will laugh at you.
This information is partially from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=760472
This is my first topic post, so please let me know if you find it helpful!
I could not find a tutorial on getting Orbot transparent proxying to work on my SPH-D710, so this is how I got it working. I hope this is not a repost, but as I said I could not find a specific tutorial/howto.
It seems to me that the issue with Orbot on our phones has to do with the iptables that is included with Orbot. Even if you tell Orbot to use the default iptables (/system/bin/iptables), it still does not work.
(1) Install "Droidwall" and "Orbot" from the Android market.
(2) Open Droidwall so that it installs the necessary binaries.
(3) Do the following in adb or the terminal: (I prefer using adb)
Code:
[B]# cd /data/data/[/B]
[B]# find ./ -iname "*iptables*"[/B]
./com.mgranja.iptables
./org.torproject.android/app_bin/iptables
./com.googlecode.droidwall.free/app_bin/iptables_armv5
[B]# cp ./com.googlecode.droidwall.free/app_bin/iptables_armv5 ./org.torproject.android/app_bin/[/B]
[B]# cd /data/data/org.torproject.android/app_bin/[/B]
[B]# mv ./iptables ./iptables.ORIGINAL[/B]
[B]# mv ./iptables_armv5 ./iptables[/B]
(4) Open Orbot and go to (menu) -> Settings. Make sure to enable "Request Root Access," "Transparent Proxying" and "Tor Everything."
(5) On the bottom of the settings page, ensure that "Use Default Iptables" is NOT selected!
(6) Open Orbot, long press the 'power' button to start Tor. In the menu there is an option to make sure ("check") that you are connected through the Tor network.
Enjoy!

IPTABLES is your firewall.
So I wouldn't mess with them unless you know what you are doing.
You sound like you don't know what your doing if you have to "download" it.

I agree that you shouldn't mess with it unless you know what you're doing. The app mentioned simply updates the version in /system/bin that came with your ROM -- whether or not you want to do this is up to you. (I just edited and removed the portion you made reference to.)
Regardless, in order to get Orbot working on the phone with transparent proxying, the main thing is to tell Orbot to use the default iptables in the ROM rather than the one Orbot comes with (/data/data/org.torproject.android/app_bin/iptables).
EDIT: With the edits made to my original post, this is now irrelevant.
I use to do this back in the day. At times it's handy however, the speeds are insanely slow so I stopped using it and just dealt with the fact that the carrier would see my every move on the network. They can do that regardless of the fact that you're using a proxy anyway so it just seemed like a waste. Slow speeds + they can still track me or fast speeds + they can still track me. Using Tor on a phone only prevents the site you're visiting from knowing who and where you are - not the carrier.
Just wanted to make that clear for anyone that doesn't know.
The speed is definitely a pain, but if you are willing to sacrifice some anonymity (probably a lot) you can configure Tor to only use nodes within your country - which I tested and got much faster speeds.
While your carrier can track that you are using their network, they cannot see what specifically you are doing. Tor encrypts all traffic from your phone -> entrance node -> intermediary nodes -> exit node (and vice versa). The only unencrypted leg of the journey is between the exit node and the destination host.

tor
You can also run tor from the terminal and from /data/data/*. It's much easier and you can delete all the iptables and orbot stuff. The default datadir for tor isn't working so I started tor with -datadir. For example tor -datadir /mnt/sdcard/tor.
Thank you I have been trying to get this running on my phone for a second.

I was trying to run tor without orbot. Orbot is too heavy for my mobile. I find tor is an app in /data and we can start it from the terminal with the datadir switch. I guess Orbot works, too, but I'm not so sure.

OpenVPN Support?

Hey im trying to find a good openvpn app for my phone. Im using the openvpn application server(free vmware appliance) as a server and im trying to get differnet clients to connect.
I've read that we need a tun.ko file to make it work, and I thinkt he kernel(not sure which itis) that comes with the Droids and Clones rom already includes this as the DroidVPN app works, but thats for their own service only.
anyone know a good app for this?

Looking for a Fire TV VPN Tutorial

I'm looking for a tutorial on how to set up a VPN on Fire TV (1st Gen) and/or a Fire TV Stick. I've seen a few add-ons that apparently install a VPN from a specific VPN provider, but I'd like to set up a VPN from the provider of my choice. (I currently have a Premiumize.me account, but that may soon change.)
For best results you will probably have to wait for the FireOS 5 update next month. FireOS 5 seems to be a lot better with the procedure to add VPN compatibility to the FireTV devices then FireOS 3.
I'm using unblock.us and all I have to configure is the DNS. No vpn configuration required.

Yes it will. It is a VPN service all vpns hide your traffic from your isp.
Last question: can you use any VPN provider with it or one specific provider? I'm hoping to find a provider-agnostic add-on I can sideloaad on my Fire Tv.
This question has been asked before but I will answer your question anyway, next time try Google, YouTube or the search bar on Xda before posting though oks.
Not via an app (apk) you cannot, but there is a few vpn add ons In kodi (Google vpn kodi add ons) which if you have a vaild vpn account you can add/sign in to it & use it that way. Not sure if this is what your looking for but at the moment that's the only way I know of using a vpn app (apk)?
Only other way I know which works is to mirror/cast your phone to your fire stick, use a vpn app (apk) on there, turn it on & then open the kodi app (apk) up on your phone (not fire stick) & watch it being mirrored/casted to your tv. A bit of a long winded solution but if your that desperate to access American addons/content on your tv it does work this way, I just pick another addon but each to there own.
If this helped you press that thanks button
https://vpntips.com/fire-tv-vpn-install/
I used this method with pureVPN. prolly others would work too like the article said. Since the firetv has no vpn files your gonna need to install openvpn to put them there. after that I see apps from the appstore possibly working cause they now have the basevpn files. I could be wrong but just something to look out for.

You need to keep in mind that some VPNs keep logs such as HMA. I personally went with a double router setup that will give you the ability to switch between secure and insecure connections.

Question How to block Ads in OnePlus without root!?

Suggestions other than using blockada app.
adguard, adaway VPN mode or private DNS
I am using next DNS service. It is customizable, so you can turn on or off lists, add things to white list etc.

And how to use/enroll that?
Register on nextdns.io, than you can set up which lists you want to enable. In your profile you also get address to use in private DNS option on your phone.
If you use that option all your traffic goes through nextdns, so it blocks out ads and robots on websites, but also on installed apps.
There is one disadvantage - it is free only for limited number of queries - more than enough for me, but some really heavy users may not find it enough. Nevertheless it is so worth to try if it works for you. Even so I have my devices rooted I don't yous Adblock etc, preferring nextdns.
If I helped you, you can use my referral link do register: https://nextdns.io/?from=ydnp2mzn . It doesn't cost you anything
Oh wow, thanks! Will check it out
Why do all forget the most important thing about DNS/VPN? Privacy!
All your traffic is routed over a unknown server. You have no control over your data! If you want use such a service, use your own. If you have a good router at home, you should be able to run a VPN server on it. In combination with Pi Hole, you have your own private and ad free VPN.
Mobile -> VPN -> Home -> PiHole -> Net

I second this. I use my pi as a plex server and pihole dns server. I LOVE it. Never found myself freaking the **** out about dns requests until I started looking at traffic statistics
