Android has PPTP/L2TP built in, and it is easy enough to install OpenVPN (especially on a rooted phone). I've used VPN on my Android when I traveled in China. Works great.

So do I have to root my phone in order to effectively use a VPN to mask this usage bc I am not sure I could root this by myself. Thanks for the info by the way. I'm a big downloader on my phone....I dis 70GB last month and will be red flagged at work if I don't fix.

You would only need to root to use some of the OpenVPN clients. PPTP/L2TP is built into Android beginning with Froyo (2.2). Go to your Settings > Wireless & Networks > More and you'll see the VPN options.

So what free app would be a good app for this? I'm willing to pay for the app if needed but would prefer free app of course.

It is possible, but why would you do such a thing?
You are already connected to the internet using wifi? What does the proxy accomplish for you?

Well my school blocks apps and some websites so the proxy would bypass it

It depends how they block it. A vpn would be better for what you are trying to do. If your urls are in cleartext and they use a commercial filter that uses pattern matching, it wont work.

Its a bit beyond the scope of this forum, but you can usually set it up right from your router if it is modern or high end.
Otherwise you will need a server. windows and linux can do this. You are are probably looking to build an ipsec vpn. Just google it. It can be tricky. On the milestone side, you need a rom that supports a tunneling kernel module (older ROMs mostly). This is usually called tun0.

Best wifi tethering app for un-rooted Thunderbolt?

Hello,
My TB is not rooted. What do you think is the best app for doing wireless tethering? Setting up a Wi-Fi hotspot, I guess.... I'm using a windows 7 PC.
Just do a search for "tether" in the Google Play Store.. I'm rooted.. but the free "clockworkmod (no root)".. looked like it might do the trick, it uses Usb instead of WiFi.
I found the stock app from Verizon to work well before they axed the ability to use it without paying for the service. It was very easy to set up the SSID and password and even monitor the connected devices IIRC.
Root ur phone ur missing out on so much

Thanks for the replies!

I tried out clockworkmod's Tether. It works pretty well, although it does disconnect every once in a while, and it's USB, so my bandwidth is limited by that. Also, it's not as convenient as WiFi.
ArmyAg08-
Yes, this is kind of the type of thing I'm looking for. Not Verizon though.

I'm not quite ready to root this phone yet. But when I do, what would you recommend for a WiFi tether?
Have you tried 1-Click Wifi Tether No Root?
If you go to the play store and search no root tether, it should be the second option down.
I know several people who use this and are satisfied with it.
If you do root your phone in the future, I recommend either WiFi Tether for Root Users or Barnacle WiFi Tether.

I usually use the default one on the custom ROM or wireless tether which both work very nicely and run smoothly.

1-Click Wifi Tether No Root apparently does not work on HTC phones. If anyone knows a workaround to this, please let me know, as 1-Click Wifi Tether No Root seems to be a great app.
And thanks for the info about the rooted apps -- I may try them in the future
I forgot about that. Lol. They don't have HTC phones.
Anyways, just search no root tether in play store and try what's available.
Good luck.

Unfortunately, there seems to be NO way to utilize the WiFi Hotspot Tether on HTC Thunderbolt anymore, rooted or not.
All of the existing WIFI tether apps do not do anything on HTC Thunderbolt. I've tried them all, on multiple ROMs.
The ONLY things I've found that still work are the PRO versions of EasyTether and PdaNet, via USB cord.
I'm still trying to get the bluetooth tether for PdaNet to work, but so far without much success.
I can't wait until next year to get a new phone that I can actually root and wifi-hotspot again.
According to the Foxfi app it's an HTC block not TB specific. That being said I blue tooth tether with no issues at all both CM7 and with Sense roms. I don't even use a special app with CM7 just make devices discoverable and pair, BAM! some native Bluetooth tether automatically kicks in on CM7 and with Sense I use the Foxfi app and follow the blutooth tether instructions. Make sure your devices have tun.ko installed (use tun.ko installer app in the play store). My tablet didn't (asus transformer tf101) so I had to and root is required to do it.

Are you talking about using the stock Verizon WiFi hotspot?
I can work wireless tether perfectly on my (rooted) tbolt... but I don't use the stock Verizon app.

Just checked and Open garden teather works fine on my rooted Tbolt.
It had tried a number of others in the past and they had issues tethering my Asus tablet. Open Garden was about the only one that worked.

What has changed that does not allow tethering? My friend said she was able to tether all the time and now she can't. Says she is on the same ROM (bamf) and has not made any changes,
I have no issues with my wireless tether.

For some reason I cannot wifi tether either. I am running Synergy. None of the wireless tethering apps I have tried have worked for about a week now. I used to use Wireless Tether with no issues. Now I have to go back to PDANet and USB. Any ideas anyone?????

Same here, I'm at 60gigs and counting. I think the most I've use back in Jan was 145 gigs. My wireless tether works just fine without an issue. Something must be wrong with script on those peoples phones that can't use wireless tether on rooted Tbolt.

Hi there guys,
Which ROMS are you running on your TBolts? I am running Synergy, and like I say it was working up until a couple of weeks back, and now no go. Perhaps I need to switch ROMS or something. I find it strange that several of us are having issue. At any rate, it is very interesting indeed.
Thanks in advance,
Stat

Play Gameloft online/spoof WiFi?

I have unlimited data but no WiFi connection at home, I want to play blitz brigade but the old trick of leaving WiFi enabled but not connected doesn't work. There's a method using WiFi tether on the net but it doesn't work. Can I spoof a WiFi or tether to my own connection? If not is anyone interested in devving a WiFi faker and I will test? IPhone has had this ability forever, android being a much superior OS must be capable

My ROM spoofs lots of things. Perhaps it can already do what you want if you configure the permission settings correctly.

Sounds good, I prefer stock based ROM though, anyway you can integrate this stuff into stock? Or an alternative method? Not disrespecting your work just my fave games run better on stock. Nice to know it may be possible

Combining pDroid into a Stock ROM is more difficult and is not possible with the auto-patcher software. In your position, I would flash Wenque's ROM and see if you can tweak the permissions to do what you want - if it works then you have a reason to investigate further.
http://www.ahgames.net/2013/05/blitz-brigade-apk-data-files-v101.html?m=1 if you dont know how to spoof the wifi you can download just the data from here.somewhere on this website must be a directory like /data/data/name of the game. paste it there and it should work
as the game is free i dont think its illegal to download the data from there please delete this post if Im wrong
edit : SDcard/Android/obb/ thats the correct dir

Internet on the Galaxy gear.

I want anybody that know how or trying to learn how getting bluetooth tethering working on the Galaxy gear to post their methods on how they got it to work. I tried every way possible with no success. Only way I haven't tried yet was flashing a international Rom.
So help is needed and please let's play nice with each other. I want this on my phone Asap. Don't post links to other threads because I read them all. Lol

Well I got it to work with pdanet but a little slow and screen start flickering. Also won't let me sign in to the play store and battery drain super fast. Start to think it's not worth it.
If you guys want me to post a how to leave a comment below. But keep in mind better ways should come in the future.

Already a few threads for this. Either use a rom with Bluetooth tethering, or use pdanet with wifi turned on in network spoofer (xposed module)
(all require null_ rom as stock does not include tethering profile)
Bluetooth internet is slow in general regardless of device

Restricate internet(mobile data),,built it setting!!!

Dear all,
I was wondering if we have any built in setting to totally restricate(not background data) mobile internet for few selected apps!! I used lbe security in previous xsola mobile. Since we dont have root n its kinda messy to use third party app to do these things. Since i use only mobile data need to save some data. If there is somthing like that setting kindly share with me. I would be very happy ... I saw these setting in my brothers iphone. I was so jelouse :banghead:

You could try Juice Defender Ultimate. This app has a lot of futures to handle sync and blocking on per app basis.
There's root if you really seem to need it btw.
