Moved into a e4gt from an evo 4g last week. Love the phone but I am having an issue with wireless tether and accessing a vpn at a clients.
My evo worked perfectly with miui's baked in tether. Now with this e4gt I cannot get it to work. Here's what I have tried:
Blazer ROM and sprint hotspot - gets online, but 800 error on vpn
Blazer and wireless tether for root - laptop doesn't see the hotspot
Miui and baked tether - will not get online
Miui and Wireless tether for root - online, 800 error on vpn
Blend ROM and sprint hotspot - online. 800 error on vpn
The vpn does work, I can connect from my home network. Just wondering if there is anyone who has gotten a setup like this working. It seems to me that these hotspots are not allowing either the 1723 or GRE traffic. I have not seen any optoins to pass these through. I have seen the vpn setup on the phone and tried it, but it has not worked either.
Thanks for any help,
DAnono

Stock Hotspot
This is a known issue, and I don't think anyone has come out with a fix for it yet.
The Vaelpak version of WiFi Tether works flawlessly on Ricsims Stock Turbo 3.70 however, and it is basically the same version of your ROM without the Vaelpak theme.
No need to purchase PDAnet or easy tether.
thanks for the reply i use this as my main internet connection at home through my desktop and dont have a wifi usb dongle paying for one would be just like paying for pdanet so i just use usb tether but ive used up my pdanet "trial" lol and easytether just doesnt seem as good so just wanted to try out the stock sprint usb tether but if i cant get 3g then maybe ill buy pdanet.
again thanks for the reply
Hey Gang-
Current set up. Unrevoked, running Caulkin's ROM.
After exploring the great features of my ROM, I wanted to try out the Wireless Tether app. After trying again and again and playing with the settings, I was able to get my laptop to connect to the Evo but could not get a connection to any website.
This evening, I removed and re-loaded the app directly from the developer's website, still having the same problem. As far as I can tell, I can connect to the Evo via my laptop but I don't seem to be getting a connection to any websites. The data stream log shows some activity.
Any suggestions?
Hrm mine stopped working as well. Nothing will connect to it since Saturday. I've turned off encryption and access control (which both worked till saturday) and no dice. I've tried 3 versions of it and no go
I've not changed Anything else since then that would mess with tether. Im running Azreal 3.0 which seems to enable the official sprint hotspot and THAT connects just fine tho I'm worried I might get charged since my accounts not provisioned for it.
Anyone else have issues with the android tether lately?
I am running MikFroyo 4.4 rom and have had no issues with either Wireless Tether or Sprint Hotspot wireless tethering. On some other roms I have used I have had to turn Wireless tethering off and on a couple of times before my laptop fully connected with the internet. And as far as Sprint charging you, unless you are downloading a ton of crap constantly chances are you will go by unnoticed.
all you have to do is not use it.. mine did the same today
i just went to the market and downloaded barnicle wireless tether
its actually a bit fater and works the same.
Hello all
I seem to be having some problems with tether on MIUI. I've tried barnacle, open garden wifi, Wifi Tether for Root, and the built in MIUI tethering.
When I connect using wifi tether and the built in MIUI and try to go to a website on my laptop it says that the DNS lookup failed.
Any idea how to fix this?
Also, does MIUI tethering show up under tethering for my carrier?
Thanks!
I use wireless tether v 2.0.8 on miui just fine. Whether your carrier knows is open to much debate about custom kernels, deep packet inspection, traffic type, etc, but just try to use tethering responsibly.

I'm on a Gnex lte with a verizon unlimited plan. I'm running CM 10.1. the rom's hotspot shows up to connect, can't connect with my laptop, can connect on the ipad but dns error and no internet.
also the WiFi tether app, both from playstore and beta3 version doesn't seem to broadcast a signal recognizable by either my laptop or the ipad. I'm wondering if the app just isn't working right or if verizon is blocking my tethering. any help?
So I'm almost lost on where to begin. I feel like I have tried everything but here we go.
Sgh m919 4.4.2 rooted stock. Rooted via towel root, Knox warranty void 0x0
Plan: unlimited everything (unlimited 4G lte all the time) 2 lines 5gb hotspot for $100
So for a long time I used wifi tether router to create a hotspot for other devices like ps3s and computers to connect to. This would use my unlimited mobile data and wouldn't touch my regular hotspot count. It worked amazingly! But at some point it started to use my regular hotspot and I was directed to the dreaded tmobile upsell page. Well this pretty much ruined my life because I live in a place that provides Internet and won't let you get your own and it's super slow. Like less then 1mb per sec slow. .. So i have been desperately trying to find a work around. I had countless emails with the developer with the end result being him saying here are some vpns people say they have had success with I can help you no further. So i tried those but it did not seem to work at all. I tried using several vpn applications with wifi tether router. Vpn applications with it all built into the app and you just have to hit connect to open vpn. Then I found these guides and tried this method: http://kingoftweaks.blogspot.ae/2014/03/wifi-hotspot-through-vpn.html?m=1
http://digiex.net/guides-reviews/gu...phone-vpn-gateway-bypass-tethering-block.html
but that didn't seem to work either. So i went back to the past and tried using other methods from before rooting my phone. In the past I would use pdanet+ to usb tether a windows 7 laptop and use the Internet connection sharing function to share the Internet connection from pdanet to a router plugged in via ethernet cable. It worked back then and worked this time, for the most part. You have to use hide tether usage level 1 to bypass the upsell page. In the past this wasn't a problem. I could do anything just as if connected to my hotspot. But now I can't get netflix to work on anything but a mobile device. Not my ps3, computers, smart tv, nothing. User agent switchers don't solve the problem. So this gave me another idea. Try to use the computer as a vpn gateway. So i downloaded open vpn client and tried some free vpns. I wasn't using pdanet at this point. I was trying to connect the computer to wifi tether router and basically encrypt all Internet traffic from my isp (tmobile) using a vpn. So if I start the vpn and am connected to the phone via wifi and share the wifi connection to the router I still hit the upsell page or it will keep on trying to load Web pages in the browser but will never load them. So when I use open vpn client on widows 7 it creates it's own network adapter. So i tried to share that to the router and connect another computer. It barely worked, speed was awful according to speedtest.net . While running vpn I can watch netflix after downloading Microsoft silver light on computer running vpn but not very well. So i thought maybe I could use my computer as a vpn server but was unsuccessful. I tried fiddler in the past but all it did was mess with my computer. I tried wireless tether for root users and the treve mod version, this guide

I really need help figuring out how to get tethering working again.
My needs are complicated as well. I wasn't to keep Knox unvoided for one. I as well would like to be somewhat mobile with my phone. I don't want to have to keep it plugged into the computer all the time to have Internet access. Which means even if i get pdanet working with Netflix that's just temporary. Ultimately i would like to use just my phone but know that just may not be possible.
Ultimate goal: wireless tether using just phone with good speeds, ping/latency.
Acceptable goal: wireless tether to computer and share internet connection through router to maintain mobility with phone.
Temporary goal: get netflix working with pda net usb tethering.
I need to be able to use netflix on ps3, computer, and smart tv.
My ideas that I have no idea how to implement.
Use the computer to encrypt data from tmobile, vpn? Proxy? Ssh tunnel?
Use another phone to pick up the wireless tether router hotspot and somehow force pdanet to use the wifi connection of that phone instead of the mobile data it tries to use normally or mask the wifi connection as the mobile data connection or something. Basically use pdanet to share the extra phones wifi connection so I have mobility with my actual phone.
Ps. When using wifi tether router other andriod devices can connect and use application like normal but nothing else.
Can anyone help me get my tethering working again? I need help really bad and would greatly appreciate it.
No one wants to say it, so I will.
You need to get yourself some good old fashioned Internet access from an Internet provider.
Tmobile is on to your data abuse and put a jihad on your data black hole.
Downgrade your Tmo plan and buy into some Internet access from your local provider.

Has anyone found a solution to the OPs concern for how to get tethering working again through T-Mobile? It use to be that you could use an app like: Tether (from Clockwork Mod) or EasyTether (from Play Store) to get around T-Mobile's restriction on tethering; however, those don't seem to work anymore (ever with user agent spoofing) - has anyone found a current solution for tethering on T-Mobile?
No.

Whatever VPN witchcraft PdaNet+ uses to hide tether usage makes Netflix unusable on a PC. The way around this is to unhide the tether usage, load whatever it is on Netflix you want to watch (once the red circle starts spinning is good enough), then re-hide the tether usage. I don't know if doing the same will let Netflix work properly on your other devices, as I've never tried. I don't have Netflix anymore, so I can't try with my TV's Netflix app.
It's a nuisance, but it's something one just has to put up with if you're using your phone plan as your home internet. I don't understand the reason this happens. Websites still detect your Windows version and browser just fine, yet Netflix thinks you're incompatible for some reason.
FWIW, Amazon Prime doesn't have this problem.
I also don't know why WiFi Tether Router stopped working for you. It works fine for me.
