Android Auto and VPN - Android Auto General

A few weeks ago I started using a VPN provider and Android App and had to figure out that AA and VPN aren't friends.
With an active VPN connection, I get an AA error screen, explaining to me that with VPN I can't connect to AA.
But what is the workaround? I am using surfshark and in this app, I can't whitelist AA or whitelist the right apps to make the connection without deactivating the VPN connection in total.
My idea to build a workaround was to build a automize process flow but feels like it is impossible because at least with the Automize app you can't deconnect the VPN connection or check if there is a AA connection available.
What do you do to make friends between AA and VPN?

Same Problem here. Please add a workaround for this issue. Thank you AA

I am using MacroDroid and wrote 2 macros to kill Surfshark if car Bluetooth is available and to start Surfshark as soon as this bluetooth device is disconnected. But in this time I can't use a VPN connection anymore.
I also want to try to whitelist the BMW wifi to try if this is enough. But didn't have time to try this in the past. Keep you posted.

Hi
What settings did you make? Quit the app when connected to Bluetooth from the car or from AAWireless, Android Auto? thanks

I tried to whitelist the AA wifi network of my car in the Surfshark application today, but without success, as Surfshark notices that this wifi doesn't have an internet connection.
@ForeverYoung7 my macro quits the app if my car's Bluetooth is connected and my VPN status is active. If the Bluetooth is disconnected, another macro starts a new instance of Surfshark. Surfshark is configured to auto-connect.

Hi
Is there some news, how to Bypass android auto and aawireless with surfshark vpn?

?

I use Blokada and had the same issue.
I fully whitelisted Android Auto and then it worked.

It has to do with ur USB CORD.

If you ever get an error message saying something not AAA or AAA it has to do with your charger or your USB port

Did anyone try to bypass android Auto with Ivacy vpn. I'm trying but no Luck ..... :/

I just ran into this today. I created a VPN tunnel that has one random IP address in the encryption domain...Android Auto still fails. My work around is to disable VPN via tasker when my car bluetooth is connected, but this Android Auto failing on ANY VPN (even if it doesn't do anything) is ridiculous.
I am also playing around with exclusions. However, Google is being asinine on this one.

I couldn't find a solution using rethinkdns BUT I did find a solution using blokada. Blokada 4 and 5 and newer come with tasker integration so I set it to turn off when connected and on when disconnected

Can you share some tips here?
I can't seem to find the whitelisting in current Blockada app to do this.

Which version do you have?
On 2.1 it was here: https://block.blokada.org/post/2017/08/17/how-to-whitelist-apps-in-blokada/
I'm using 4.1.4. There I have to swipe up and then I have a button called apps. There I can whitelist apps.

Looks that no matter VPN provider, AA does'nt work. I tried with Ivacy and Proton + bypassing ... but no way!

I would recommend using Private Internet Access, it works exceptionally well and is safe! I have used it in person for one year many options to set up and pass problems

I found a solution that works for me. NextDNS, it's got adblocking, tracker blocking, and can used on routers, PCs, phones and everything. For Android just use the private DNS server option and not the app and you're aet

Hi. I would like to announce Wassapp, a non-official WhatsApp client for PC. This application basically allows any user to chat with his WhatsApp contacts from a computer (using a phone number that has been previously registered in WhatsApp, using a smartphone or any other method).
Start chatting is as easy as introducing your phone number, your password (depends on which device you registered your number in WhatsApp), and adding your contacts.
If the phone number was registered on an Android phone, the password is the phone's IMEI.
If the phone number was registered on an iPhone, the password if the WiFi MAC address.

Wassapp is already available for Windows XP, Vista, 7 and 8.
Linux and OS X versions will be available soon (a Mac Mini is needed for proper developing and testing, donations are welcome!).

Greetings.
I really would like to see this for mac. =)
Cool, really looking forward to the OS X app!
.....
I hope we can have a version for OSX soon. First we need to get some money, then find a cheap Mac Mini to buy it

totally doesn't work for me
W7, I chose North America, and entered my IMEI (as safeguard, I double checked and enter twice) as instructed. No contacts at all, tried Google import, no show, tried adding friend's phone number, don't show either.......
What have I done wrong?

Don't try to use WhatsApp in your mobile phone while Wassapp is running (or close WhatsApp to use your mobile phone safely). WhatsApp server doesn't allow simultaneous connections so it drops the oldest connection. If you start using WhatsApp in your phone while being logged in Wassapp, WhatsApp will reconnect (as it will detect it was disconnected) and this reconnection will cause Wassapp to disconnect.

A new version of Wassapp has been released. It implements the new WhatsApp protocol so it's now fully working again!
Also it fixes a problem with contacts that were not added
Great stuff, dont now how long ive been looking for something like that!
And I have a wierd question: Are you the waninkoko from the wii modding scene or am I just confused?

Great app but doesn't import any contacts or groups from current whatsapp account.
Does the app support whatsapp groups?
I won't work on the Wii U, I left the scene forever.
WhatsApp doesn't store any contact list in their servers. They just take your contacts from your contact list and show you which ones use WhatsApp. You need to add contacts manually or import them from your Google account.
Hmm is group chat working?
This is great. It worked perfectly. But I whish there was a way to have two connections simulateously (PC and mobile). I had to put my mobile on "flight mode" to stop whatsapp from trying to reconnect.
By the way, are you the same Waninkoko as in the PS3 scene?

One possible solution for "No Cast devices found."

This weekend, while trying to cast a tab in Chrome, ran into the "No Cast devices found." issue that a number of people have complained about. Thankfully, I found a solution quickly and without much frustration.
In my case, I had been running a VPN connection using OpenVPN on a windows TAP adapter. Apparently, when the connection is active, and therefore the virtual adapter, the Chrome plugin gets confused and starts attempting to discover your Chromecast on the VPN adapter. Once I shut down the VPN tunnel, the Chromecast was successfully discovered.
So, in summary, if you run into this issue, and are running VPN tunnel(s) and/or virtual adapters in windows, try disconnecting or even disabling those virtual network adapters.
Hope this helps someone else out there!
See also my more in-depth howto: http://www.muchtall.com/2013/11/01/fix-for-chromecast-no-cast-devices-found/
In my case it was a firewall, sorted it out by adding a rule to allow local access both ways, with all protocols.
I think Chromecast uses UDP.

After that the Chrome browser detected the CC fine.
That was how I solved mine.
in my case it was not the antivirus
it was some kind of vpn because of the motherboard.
I had to go to windows device manager
and in "network adapters"
disable some virtual wifi miniport adaptes and also a bluetooth personal area network
after that it got detected in chrome

It's a stupid BUG I do have Hyper-V virtual switch ('cause I'm developing apps for Windows Phone), and damn Chromecast can't connect. Yes, disabling and removing all working network settings & virtual adapters will solve the problem, but it's not a solution.
Google MUST fix that bug 'cause there are lot of issues and people reporting the same problem!

Agreed. It's definitely an oversight to assume that the primary interface on the PC is the interface in which the Chromecast resides. The probably ought be doing discovery on all interfaces.
Tunnels/VPNs would definitely cause finding your Chromecast to fail. Disabling Hamachi, for whatever reason, resolved the issue on my laptop.

Chromecast and Netflix issue

Hi.
I'm currently on Eureka-Rom 1.1 and using unlocator to cast Netflix to my Chromecast, using my android device.
Everything is fine with some shows, but when I try to cast some of them it gives me an error message like "Sorry, this title is not available to watch instantly".
Why are some shows/movies working and others are not?
Would love some guidance on this matter,
Thanks

Okay. My issue is that every show can be seen on the device but as fast as I'm trying to cast, note, some of them to the chromecast I get this error message.
Still, some shows can be casted without issues but some can't.
It is because chromecast is using your local DNS and not your proxy. The does that ate not available are not available on your local area.

Hi Pemell,
I normally see this issue when the Netflix dns settings on the chromecast don't match that of the device (so the TV is unable to play the content the phone pushes or viceversa.
Are you using custom DNS services on either the chromecast or your control device?

I'm using unlocator and set my phone to use their dns which are 50.112.186.233 & Secondary Server 50.112.143.40.
Is there something I can do to get it to work?
My chromecast is running the latest Eureka-Rom.

Go to http://your_Chromecast's_IP_address
then go to the Settings tab, Disable Use DHCP (under DNS), click Apply, then set the DNS to one of the Unlocator options.

Exactly what Bhiga said, if you have any issues let us know - but you should see Unlocator as one of the options in the list (I use them too so I made sure they were there).
I've had this problem before with Unlocator on my roku. I think it's an Unlocator issue and not a chromecast issue. I used to have to restart Netflix all the time. Since switched to unotelly and it never happened again.

Wi-Fi no internet

Hello.
After I flashed factory stock I cant boot my phone because phone say that no internet but its connected to wifi. No problems on other phone. I tried other roms but same thing. I tried reflash factory stock but still the same. I dont know what to do. I dont have mobile data only wifi in my house. Without internet I cant login to google account so I stuck on start screen where I need to choose language etc. What can I do?
Thank you.
Here is the screenshot

Not wanting to ask stupid questions, but when I've installed new ROMs the first thing I need to do is put in my router key to connect to the router. You have done that?
What key? I flashed hundreds of time and I dont had any problems. I just clicked on wifi ssid than type password and thats it. Trying now with lollipop factory image.
Same with Lollipop factory image
The key I meant was the password for your router when you start the first startup process after flashing. Having the router recognised doesn't mean that you're connected to it - no password, no access. If that's what you've already done, then I have no idea - sorry...
Little update. On lollipop let me to skip account login. Chrome works perfect with wifi, but I cant add my account. I wrote my email address and its just loading and dont let me type password. Also dont let me create another account stuck on loading.

try mobile data. if you can log in using mobile data then there might be some problem with your wifi(internet provider) and wifi router.
Yes with mobile data everything ok. I dont understand why I cant login to my google account using WiFi. Everything else like Chrome works with WiFi. I dont change anything to my router. Maybe my provider change something, but I think I will not have internet at all. Oh and I found another issue I cant go to docs.google.com using WiFi (with mobile data works). As example to Chroma's changelog.
Sorry for so much screenshots, but maybe it will help to fix that problem. So I tried Google translator app over wifi. As you see it's not working and yes I have offline language package, but it's not working somehow, works only on mobile data. Same issue with Google documents app. I thought maybe only Googles apps not working, but nope apps like google+ or inbox works perfect.
"ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED" typically is a DNS issue.
Have you powered off/on your router and/or providers modem to see it that helps at all? Have you tested another device/computer to your wireless to see if it can connect and get out to the Internet?

Question Android 12 & VPN Restrictions (L2TP/IPSec PSK)

Work for a local insurance company and because of the COVID restrictions / work from home requirements in place in the UK...
...just noticed that Android 12 now blocks connections to VPN connections setup to use L2TP/IPSec PSK
Whilst its not a massive issue, as the majority of VPN connections are done from Windows and macOS devices, its still a pain in the ass!
A quick google reveals a lot of people are moaning about this, but no clear workarounds to speak of.
Obviously the fix would be to change the authentication requirements on the VPN server side of things, but with a couple of hundred employees working from home, that's a no go!
Anyone managed to find a workaround?

While I usually don't use the company's VPN on my phone (there's no real reason for me to), I feel your pain.
Maybe a VPN application from PlayStore can fix this for you? While this config that you use is the native VPN from the device I believe a custom application can fix this for you.
I use Expressvpn, but that is a paid one, there is also ProtonVpn, and it's free.

Any solution? I was use VPN L2TP/IPSEC. Some days ago I bought S22 Ultra, thereis IKEv2 only.
Have created L2TP VPN server in my mikrotik router.
any solution for pptp client on Android 12?
Wireguard.
with wireguard i can connect to pptp servers?
i had created a connection L2TP in my android 10 when I bought my phone last year, this year during updates and in Android 12 my L2TP profile is still there and even i can change it to pptp and it works. But when I want add a new VPN it only has IKEv2 protocol.
My phone is Xiaomi Mi 10 Lite 5G
can we add vsomehow some L2tp and Pptp connections with Adb?
Does anyone know if there's a way to change my Unifi VPN settings to work with Android 12?
You can go for surfshark. It is the best and many of my friends use it too. Must try.

I see the same red "update" suggestion, but I can still create an L2TP/IPsec PSK profile and successfully connect. Are you not even able to create and save one?
Mera phone Vivo t1 pro hai aur isme vpn connect nahi ho rha Adar server me
For L2TP there is no solution
For IPSec Xauth PSK you can use VpnCilla client on the playstore
