Recommendation for best VPN for Android - Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers

I need suggestion, I want the best VPN for my Samsung mobile
I have seen the cheapest deal of FastestVPN, they are offering 92% discount on 5 Year plan cost just $49.95 further they have also 10% extra discount coupon "FAST10"
I really got amazed with this deal as no other VPN provider is offering such awesome deal
I just want to know that have any one here tried this VPN?
Here is the deal link: blog.fastestvpn.com/black-friday-vpn-deals

nordvpn and pia
stop using free vpn noobs

I would suggest ProtonVPN. Been using it for over two years. Had Pia and NordVPN before but they heavily rely on ads and sponsored reviews. Not bad companies but I just prefer to know where my vpn servers are located. Proton also has a secure core feature where they route your traffic through two countries.

Out of all the VPNs I've tried EspressVPN has the best speed for me. It's the most expensive out of all of them, but it's worth it for me since it's almost always connected, to a USA server and I'm in Romania, I've never seen content buffer, in Youtube or Netflix.

I use Express as well just because it has an app for the TV.

I've been using ExpressVPN for about 2.5 years now. They are pricy but I love their apps and the fact that at home I set up my home router with their services so anyone on my network is hidden/secure.

i use their Services aswell, never got any problems

FastestVPN I'm having loads of problems with both on WiFi and mobile data, not working with all providers

I use ufo vpn , quick and works on streaming services where noordvpn fails , plus you get a free service and chances to get premium for free

My vote is expressvpn service this is one of the best vpn For Android also other vpns are best like pure,nord,surfshark,ipvanish but i am always using ExpressVPN many good sources available to get the best VPN for android Like Pcmag.com , Cnet.com and Rivipedia.com are the best soruces to share the list of best providers

I also use Express vpn keep using the 7 day trial
Put any email address in they dont ask for clarification just let you get using asap which is a flaw in there system..
Enjoy

Google Music

I know this isn't really N7 related, but i noticed it more today when i received my N7. Google music STILL isn't available for UK users. It's been public in the US for nearly a year now. Google need to step up their game. Really disappointing. Sorry for ranting but pretty pathetic it's taken them this long and they still aren't any closer to making it available to people outside the US.
North America isn't the only place people buy you're products Google!
Blame the studios and all the work required for licensing.

Apple worked on it for years before managing to strong arm the studios. It will happen, but right now the mindset must be "well, we have our stuff on iTunes. Don't all them young folk have iPhones?"
And yes, all music executives are out of touch elderly men who don't know that not all touchscreen phones are iPhones.
Not only music, we can't buy films either, only rent.
With the Nexus 7 being so Play oriented I would have hoped they would have struck some kind of deal by now.
Hey
Its not hard to do, just use something like hotspot shield, sign up, then once its done, you wont have to do it again, it'll work. I did it when it first came out and its been working ever since.
It is a shame though, you guys in the US have a lot more
I used tunnelbear (free) signed up and setup in 10 mins, working on my phone and n7, just glad i have an unlimited data contract :victory:
As the others have said, use a VPN to sign up. That is the only time (except for if you try to purchase muzak) that Google checks your geo-location. After that you can start uploading your music and playing it with the app on your 7.

I think its probably the bpi blocking them. They are not happy that google isn't more proactive at removing what they consider copyright infringing sites from their search listings. Maybe googles new policy to move sites down the search rankings will mollify them.

You just need to use it on a pc long enough to go to music.google.com and register. Then you no longer need a proxy unless you want ti try and buy music, buying music though needs a us payment card.

Ya I gotcha now.... I thought you were accessing the market from your n7 through the VPN. Buying a prepaid MasterCard and registering it to an american address should allow purchases though......

I gave up on Google Music when I realized just how terrible my DSL upload speed is. I didn't really care to have to wait days upon days for my music to upload to Google, so I just rsync'd it to my server right here on my gigabit LAN and fired up Subsonic. Once I donated a few bucks to unlock the premium mobile streaming license, I was golden.
Note: DDNS would be a severe +1 in this scenario. I already had it set up, so I could point to my specific URL instead of my IP which Verizon changes every other day anyway.
Used tunnelbear to sign up and working fine on my N7 but the market won't install onto my HTC sensation because of the device country - do I just need to sideload (given my google account is now music enabled?)

When you say "market won't install" do you mean it won't let you install Google Play Music? Yeah that's normal. You can either sideload or use something like Market Enabler.

Any Canadians using Netflix on Xoom? Try unotelly.com...

Hey everyone,
I just signed up for a free trial of Netflix a couple days ago and found the content on the Canadian site was somewhat lacking, it's getting there but the US site still has lots more content currently. I know there was some ways to get the US site up here so I did some research and ended up trying to choose between http://www.unotelly.com and one of their competitors, called unblock-us. Being the typical cheapskate I looked over the features and costs for both services. Unotelly came in ahead with some extra features and a slightly lower cost. For the same slightly higher cost as the competitor's service they will throw in VPN access as well. I am currently on their free 8-day trial and it has been working flawlessly thus far, I set it up on my router so all my devices are able to access region locked content, including my beloved Xoom which I must say has a great interface for Netflix.
Check it out if you are want US Netflix in Canada(or I guess any non US country for that matter).

Hotspot not so unlimited with root. - T-Mobile USA LTE

Got cut off today while finishing the Dragon Ball series. I have LTE enabled and was streaming with it. I still love t-mo though, coming from Sprint their speeds are to die for.
Didn't see a thread about this.
Edit: not to say they ever implied it was unlimited in the first place, but it would seem so with root.

Unlimited 4G with 500MB hotspot. Took Sprint 2.5 years to catch me tethering without paying with hot spot hack on sph-d700 (epic 4g)
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
Well the hotspot of all their plans it technically only 500mb then you have to pay an extra $10 for another 1gb. Using data on the phone is unlimited. They probably saw your user agent string and noticed it was for a computer rather than your phone. Still you got a lot more than 500mb of hotspot out of it, so not too bad a deal.
Edit: beat me to it
They probably noticed quickly because it was so much data in a short period of time. If you spread out the tethering more (maybe less video), they probably wouldn't notice. I'm on the $30 prepaid plan and tether around 5gb a month but I spread it out over a couple days (maybe 500-2gb a day) and haven't been caught yet.

Yeah you can spoof it by changing your browser setting. Depending on your browser you can look it up: http://www.howtogeek.com/113439/how...user-agent-without-installing-any-extensions/
It's a feature built into basically all browsers.
It decreases your chances of being detected but it really depends on how tmobile detects tethering. The user agent way is the simpliest and quickest but they can also do it by TTL (time to live) of the packets your computer requests as you for example watch videos or browse. They can also detect it other ways but those are 2 of the more common ones.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734138 Post 8 explains the TTL method a bit more
Basically changing your user agent is the quickest method that my help a bit (depending on if they favor that detection method). Using a vpn on your computer might further and better prevent detection. (I've never tried this myself but in theory it might help more than a simple user agent change. You can find guides of other methods people use to try and get around it. I haven't heavily investigated any other methods aside from the vpn and user agent since I've never been cut off so I don't really know of of any specific ones.
I personally think the thing that really tips them off is a huge spike in usage for a short time period.
If you tether over bluetooth or USB, you basically never get caught in my experience as well as several others I know who do the same. So I would try that. It's a bit slower but not bad.
I'd suggest bluetooth or usb tethering next time and see if that prolongs your hotspot usage. But as I mentioned, I really think it is the massive usage spike in a short time that tips them off so you may still get caught. When I use bluetooth and usb tethering, I still try not to go to heavy on usage over short periods.
I suspect that the TTL method may be more commonly used since it's not easily avoidable so you are best off slowing your usage when you are tethered. It would be very easy for them to see a spike in usage and check the TTL of your packets, realize you're tethering, then cut it off. It's more reliable than user agents.

It's funny though that I can go to G+, FB, and G-Mail but not uanime.com or any forums, whether USB or wireless tethering now. Guess I'll try spoofing.
Edit: Override the user agent in the browser on ChromeOS to resemble a GNex and it works, thanks. Although some web pages are now literally half the size they used to be, it doesn't effect full screen videos.

Lol no problem, glad it works for you now. :highfive: Yeah that is the downside I forgot to mention. You can try to fix that problem by experimenting with making your browser look like other desktop browsers (for example maybe tmobile doesn't block some of the more obscure desktop browsers like opera etc.) or copying your phone's desktop style user agent in chrome. That might result in desktop style pages but tmobile will think you are a phone requesting desktop. (the user agent actually shows your operating system too so if you spoof that part to android you should be able to get desktop style while still staying hidden) You'd have to look up the android chrome desktop user agent though. I don't know what it is.

Yeah they do seem to figure out the user agent trick eventually if you use it several times. That's happened to other people I know. I think if you keep using a lot of data when tethering eventually they review your usage more carefully with their other methods like the TTL check.
Absolutely no less than 90% of this has been used while connected via native wifi tethering, and this usage is over the course of only 2 weeks. I have unlimited 4g (prepaid) and no tethering plan at all.
I've gotten a page that says I'm either not authorized to tether or over my limit two or three times in the last 3 days, but I just disable/re-enable tethering and reload the page....that's solved it every time.
just in case anyone is wondering, I'm using native wifi/usb tether on official PA (always the latest build) and franco M3 kernel....I've also got the chrome user agent switcher installed on my phone and set to desktop. I'm sure that doesn't matter, but I thought I should mention it. I'm also using chrome on my ubuntu PC with no user agent switcher installed.
I'm curious how much data everyone else who has had a problem tethering have used. I'm pretty sure my usage is way heavier than probably 99% of their customers...even those of us here
You guys have me all kinds of curious about tethering now.
Are any of you using mostly LTE?
If so, what's the battery life?
Stability of tethering?

I stay on LTE, no serious difference in battery lifeand I'm usually plugged in while I tether, so battery life doesn't matter much there. Perfectly stable until T-Mo discovers you're over the limit.

I wonder if whether or not T-mobile can measure how much data you've used for tethering without using their hotspot app (what they use on T-mobile branded phones to meter tethering usage) depends on the APN you're connected through?

No, I know it's not the Chromecast at fault, just stating I was using that to stream though. I'm surprised at how well its working and I've never streamed 1080p before so the jump in data usage caught me off guard a bit.

Chromecast + NFL Sunday Ticket (from Madden 25)...this could rock

So I don't know how many of you are big NFL fans like me, but if you are then there's a chance that you may have heard about the special edition of Madden NFL 25 that is currently available for preorder on Amazon. With this $99 edition, you of course get the game, but in addition you get a code for complete access to the online streaming version of NFL Sunday Ticket (all games, just as the normal DirecTV version would have), and you don't have to be a DirecTV subscriber to use it.
Anyways, I bought the special edition and will have it the end of August when it is released. All along I planned to simply bring my iMac into the living room, connect it with HDMI adapter cable, and watch the games that way. However, it looks like I've stumbled on a great setup - just have to fire up the Chrome on the iMac in the home office, Chromecast it in full screen to the livingroom, and boom, NFL Sunday Ticket on TV for 40 bucks! Absolutely can't wait to the first week of September to try this out!!! :good::good:

He could also be referring to unofficial streaming video sites. That's how I watch the occasional Pats game when I'm not home. Not the best quality of course. Thanks to @joeski27 by the way. Hadn't heard about this special edition of Madden. I'll definitely take a look.

Well yeah, I mean I think we all know that all the porn fans will totally dig CC, that's a given. I was just pointing out another very cool idea for CC use...he might as well have popped into this thread and said "the NFL thing sounds cool, but my love of watching storm chaser videos on YouTube is so much more enticing"...what's the point? All I was doing was putting out what I thought to be a nifty idea specifically regarding NFL games. Anyways, good call on your end as well with the MLB idea, and eventually the same will be true for those who subscribe other major sports packages (NHL, NBA, etc) which allow subscribers to view content online. Really the YouTube/Netflix/etc. is the tip of the iceberg, and I think will be greatly overshadowed by many options to come for this device.

I did the same thing for many games the last couple of years (though my brother in law let me use his DirecTV password for online content when his father wasn't using it). This time I'm not messing around and decided that for the $40 extra with the Madden game I would guarantee myself every single game in reliably high quality...but now with CC it takes this plan concept to the next level, and for cheap. I know that if you look at the Madden 25 reviews on Amazon (not really reviews since it isn't out yet, just comments about the package really), the #1 thing people want to know is if they can stream the games from their PC/Mac to their PS3. Turns out the universal answer is a big fat no, meaning that - until now - they were stuck having to go with a hardwired PC-to-TV connection, which I resigned to doing for this upcoming season. I hadn't even thought about that aspect before buying my CC, but now that I have it it seems like extremely sweet icing on the cake for me!
Good looking out, I just now preordered that and I hate sports video games. Anyone want a copy of Madden 25 Anniversary edition that is only missing the NFL Sunday Ticket code? lol.
I'm not familiar with enough the CC on what limits and what kind of videos that it can play. I ordered one, but it was after the initial batch was sold out. I work nights, so I was asleep during the initial announcement.
I'm not sure if MLB will work. I know they use Flash Player, but it does some quirky stuff.
As for the rest, they could work. For those that have used these services, you know what you're getting. I personally use the international version of these service with a VPN. Then I can always be out of whatever market is being blacked out; it's nice to be "in" a different country for those national broadcasts. Personally, I've been using a HTPC for a few years, so this device is going to replace anything and will be more limited than the HTPC. I think it could be interesting see what people can do with it. May make it easier for those temporary setups at others' homes.
On a side note, the international NFL online service is free for those in the Netherlands, which normally runs around $200 to $250. Additional $50 for playoffs. I think they PS3/DirectTV thing runs a little over $300 if you don't have DIrectTV and Sunday Ticket. I don't know the cost if you already do and just want PS3 or mobile access, but I would assume more than $40.
MLBtv works just fine on CC. Tested it last night. For unofficial streams, first row worked really well too. I watched NFL Network using my CC for about an hour last night.

I use the NFL Game Pass service. It's a service that's available outside the USA and it's territories. Not all geographical regions, such as Canada, have it available, but Europe does. Here are some video comparisons of the NFL Game Pass versus local cable TV.
The nice thing about the NFL Game Pass, they have an Android app that lets you watch the live and replays, and also the NFL Network. You just have the get APK from someone outside the USA since Google changed how the store checks where you, so MarketEnabler doesn't work now. Maybe they'll update the app for CC. That would be interesting and cool.
They nice thing about the Game Pass service, the quality of service is more reliable and consistent. I've used sites like FrontRow, and you just never know what quality your'e going to get. The big knock, you need to get a VPN service which can run additional $8 to $15 a month on top of the cost of the service. And with VPNs and sports, you definitely want a paid VPN so you have enough bandwidth. For me, since I cut the cord and watch sports all year round, it's something I use almost everyday, so it pays for itself.
I've been using alternatives to watch sports for going on three years. So, I'm pretty familiar with how to get most sports and with good quality. I use both the PC and Android mobile devices..
New NFL Game Pass app
I have been having so much fun with my NFL GamePass app. Until they updated the app. When I opened it this afternoon, a message said it required an update from the store. Of course, I can't go to the UK play store for the new app.
Sux!!!
Maybe someone across the pond can post the new app apk? That would be lovely.

Actually, you can asssuming you have downloaded it from Google Play before. If so, open Google Play, go to your apps, then All (next to installed), and just scroll down till you hit NFL Game Pass. And they now it where it's one app for both phones and tablets. The new version is needed to see the games, but NFL Network still works on the old (it works on the new one too).
This could be very interesting, my concern would be this statement, "For fans who are not currently DirecTV subscribers but are able to receive DirecTV service, they will receive a promo code entitling them to $10 off per month for their first year of service and one year of NFL Sunday Ticket Max at no additional charge."
How do they determine if you can receive the service? Or just a matter of BSing
still no
I didn't download it from the store originally because I couldn't get into the UK store last week. I was able to put it on my ipad thpugh. I'll just wait amd see when someone uploads the new apk.

Unlocator free beta over

Unlocator DNS service has announced that their free beta period has now ended, and everyone who signed up is now on a 1-week free trial. After that it will cost $4.95/month. That's the typical price level set by competing services, of which there are at least 20. Some cost as little as $18/yr, and there are a few that are still free for the moment, but they might not all work with the Chromecast since it requires device-specific testing.
Any other free alternative?

Currently SmartDNSProxy and TunnelTo.us, but nothing stays free for long.
Most of the DNS services offer a 1-week free trial per email address.

Thanks OP! I gonna try, Do u know which one is better or which one you use?.. Thanks:good:
I have tested many of the DNS services using their free trials. I think they all work for the basics, although since they don't generally test the Chromecast, you may find that some sites don't work on the Chromecast with some DNS services. Unlocator didn't work with Pandora for me at first either, but they eventually fixed it - it just takes a while to get started, and then you may have to disconnect and reconnect to get it in sync with the Android/iOS app. That's true of some of the DNS services as well.
Tunnelto.us is supposedly in the process of implementing Netflix region switching. I don't know if they will support Netherlands or not. Keep in mind that most of these free services under development tend to move to paid subscription once they get Netflix region switching working, because that requires them to make a serious investment in having paid servers in every supported country.
But personally I currently use usaccess.ca, which cost me $18 for a year on a special promotion. Until now I was using Unlocator for Netflix region switching. USaccess.ca is working on adding that, but until they do I guess that on the very rare occasion that I want to watch anything from a non-U.S. region, it will be time for another 1-week free trial with one of the other services.
I switched to unotelly after unlocator. It certainly seems much better, just more stable and reliable in general. It also has the ability to access two countries content at the same time, so if you are in Europe it is possible to see both UK and US content at the same time without switching settings. They also have a really handy android app for switching Netflix regions very quickly, giving you access to much more content than just US Netflix on it's own.
It's cheaper too.

Unotelly also has a Netflix subtitle blocker, which can be handy if you're watching an English language movie with hardcoded subtitles on a foreign language Netflix.
