Using my raspberry pi, I created a pptp vpn server, but I find myself unable to connect to it under my school's wifi (I am able to connect to other wifi via the raspberry pi). Would programs such as iprism the school is running prevent me from accessing the vpn?
Yes iprism could prevent you from connecting to your PPTP server as any other webfilter, proxy server, etc. could do as well.
You maybe get around that if you're dropping PPTP and use OpenVPN instead. This alone wouldn't help much but running your server on port 443 could do the trick .

I have a Bluetooth PAN set up successfully between my AT&T Tilt and HP Laptop with Bluetooth stack 5.1.0.3000. I am able to use Internet Sharing and connect to the internet from my laptop.
Everything works internet wise, however I need to change the DHCP settings on the Tilt. It is set to work in the 192.168.0.x range, but my corporate VPN has problems with this IP range. I need to change it to any other private range.
I searched quite a bit for this information but couldn't find it. Any tips?
I remember that I had a similar problem in the past as wanted to connect my WM6 Hermes via BT to the laptop, then share that connection over the laptop's wifi. But internet sharing on Windows forces the destination adapter (Wifi in that case) to use 192.168.0.x, so I had to change that on the Hermes. If I remember well, all I did was go to Wifi settings->network adapters, selecting BT PAN Driver, and manually assign 192.168.2.1. It seemed the DHCP followed as I could connect the laptop fine without having to give it a fixed IP address. Not sure if that still works on WM6.1, but if it doesn't just use a fixed IP in that subnet on the laptop's BT NIC. I guess you don't use it everyday to connect to other BT networks anyway.
I just tried on my WM6.1 Kaiser and it works the way it did. Just change the IP in the BT PAN interface, and the DHCP will follow.
I'm now posting this from my desktop PC that is connected through Ethernet to my wireless access point, which connects wirelessly to my laptop, which has its bluetooth PAN shared onto Wifi and connected to the Kaiser, which connects to EDGE. Phew.
So the path is EDGE->Kaiser(192.168.2.1)->laptop via BT(got 192.168.2.221 via DHCP)->AP via Wifi (192.168.0.1 via windows internet sharing)->desktop via Ethernet (got 192.168.0.233 via DHCP).
This is exactly what I needed and works perfectly! Thank you!
Hey guys I have the following message...

You need to turn AP isolation off in order to let your tablet or PC and the Chromecast talk to each other through the router connection. Most APs disallow this by default (ie: in a coffee shop, you don't want other devices to be able to access your client via the routers network). Given you're VPNing, you probably need something like a D-Link DIR 506L to make it work:

Thanks for the reply if i have to do this though I will just return the chromecast and get an apple tv because that would be the same price. Any other idea?
Hi All,
I recently acquired a chromecast and would very much like access to the BBC Iplayer (I live in the netherlands). I can already watch Iplayer on my phone using the VPN option in android but once I try to watch it on chromecast it doesn't start the stream which is probably because the chromecast is connected to my home network which is not behind the VPN. I also can't mirror screen since I loose connection from my phone to the chromecast as soon as I connect my phone to the VPN.
Now I read that it is possible to do with a DDWRT router but I do not have one of those and I wouldn't want my whole network to be on a different IP, just the chromecast & if needed my phone. I do however have something that I would like to consider a lot more powerful than a router, namely a "Server PC" running windows XP professional. Would I be able to use this server and enable the VPN on it and then make the chromecast connect to the server? Would I need 2 USB wireless adapters or 1 (so my phone connects to 1 and the chromecast to the second. My server connects via ethernet to my modem)? Could I somehow configure this USB adapter to be connected to the VPN by default? Could I use virtualization software? I would like the most clean option preferably without affecting the rest of my server (but it would be OK if the server is temporarily in the UK until I have watched the show). Perhaps this topic can be extended to other devices with wireless capabilities like NAS and raspberries etc.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Ok so after some digging I found at least 1 way of doing it: http://alphaloop.blogspot.nl/2014/01/raspberry-pi-as-vpn-wireless-access.html
However I still think this should be possible on a windows XP machine with a wireless adapter.
On many Windows 7 PCs with wi-fi, you can use the following to create a hosted wifi network that your chromecast can connect to:
netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=XXXX key=YYYY
netsh wlan start hostednetwork
if you then share your VPN adapter's internet connection with the hosted wifi that you've created, you can connect your phone and chromecast to the same wifi XXXX and that will be connected to the internet via the VPN on the laptop.
was wondering if there might be a really small, cheap computer (all i need is remote access to it and a web browser) so i can remote into it and manage a router that's behind a VPN. i guess it would need 2 ethernet ports (or at least 1 and wireless) to access the modem & the router both.
would entertain other solutions, but with mullvad running on tomato, the router ddns settings won't pull the real IP, and uses the VPN IP, and WAN points to another internal style IP (192.168.43.177) maybe this would only apply to using cell phones as the WAN source... but i can't get the router to show the actual IP, so was looking at maybe a cheap mini computer to circumvent that and access it locally once i remoted in the said mini computer.
thanks for any help

I have a brand new raspi zero w and im not able to find my routers SSID in the WIFI settings. Otherwise, I can connect to any other WIFI in the building but mine. I dont know what is the problem but creating an AP with my phone and sharing my data allows me to connect my raspberry to the internet. Does anyone now why my router is not shown? Ive always been able to connect any device to it. The router model is Comtrend VG-8050. Thank you!
