Hi there,
I have problem to access XDA's forum since it used new CDN server associated with domain: media.xda-developers.com. I was do a quick check with ping and dns resolver and see that it is hard to reach that server from my country VN. I have has solved this problem by myself by using TOR and Proxy Switchy to force all traffic from media.xda-developers.com via proxy.
Here are tools I'm using:
TOR: https://www.torproject.org/
ProxySwitchy for Chrome: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/dpplabbmogkhghncfbfdeeokoefdjegm
AutoProxy for Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/vi/firefox/addon/autoproxy/?src=ss
Anyone has same problem with me please post here and solution also.
Thanks!

I have looked through various posts on this topic from the search but not found any conclusive answers.
When I am connected via Wi-Fi I cannot set any proxy servers. Particularly I'm interested in HTTP proxying. If I browse Internet Explorer to a print environment variables CGI script I can see it's not using the proxy I have set in my 'Work' connection. What I'm a bit confused about is whether 'Work' is the correct place to put it as it has no modem connections listed there [only non-Wi-Fi options are listed such as Bluetooth and irDA].
Is this the correct place to put the proxies? If so why is my MDAIII [WM2003SE] ignoring them?
If this proxy server is in your work environment, you can set it up in 'work' in Connections.
You also have to set the phone up to use 'work' for internet addresses, as well as work-related (intrAnet) addresses. Otherwise, all external addresses will bypass your 'Work' settings.
When U say I have to set up 'work' for internet addresses what do U mean? I am connected via Wi-Fi at the moment at work and I have the proxies configured, yet I still go directly to websites in Internet Explorer without touching the HTTP proxy.
In my 'Work' network I have no modems defined. In 'My ISP' I have both GPRS and WAP setup for T-Mobile UK. My connection rules say use 'My ISP' for internet addresses, and 'Work' for private work addresses. If I change internet addresses to 'Work' as well it still ignores my proxies. I have not yet found a combination that works.
Edit:
Sorry I just realised that even though I have nothing listed in my intranet address list the MDAIII has guessed my local cgi environment script is on my intranet and has bypassed my proxy. When I use a remote cgi script out there in the wilderness it successfully reports the proxy IP instead of the MDAIII one.
Exclamation VPN problem
hi all. I'm living in a country where nearly all sites (even facebook, youtube, twitter, friendfeed ...) have been filtered and we can not access them without vpn.
I use vpn on my pc and there is no problem using it but I can't have it on my ppc.
I setup everything in detail but when I try to connect I get the username/pass error which says:
VPN server problem. Verify your username and password, and try again. If the problem continues, turn the device off and try again
I've asked my vpn provider for mobile compatible IP and he has given me so, which he says works fine for iphone users. but I still have problem connecting to.

can anybody help please?
The name pings as 173.236.83.117, have you tried putting this in instead of the full name? also have you put the name/ip adress in your exceptions list? I believe you will need to!
Hi guys anyone using or have used VPN Connections? I have it working in that it connects to my remote VPN, but it appears the nameservers don't get updated. On my Linux box I see my /etc/resolv.conf get updated correctly when I use VPNC, but I dont see a resolv.conf except for wireless tether on the phone.
Anyone know where the nameservers are recorded?
Thanks, Matt.
OK looks like vpnc is setting up the DNS's correctly, but no traffic passes through tun0.
If I "ping -I tun0 x.x.x.x" then I can ping the other end of my VPN, but for some reason tun0 is not used as the default interface.
"ip route show" gives the following at the end:
default dev tun0 scope link
I'm just not sure what the hell is restricting the traffic?
I've tried doing "ip ru del gprs", but that does not help either.
Anyone successfully use VPNC on Android?
Thanks, Matt.
Have you tried
ip ru del table wifi
If you are trying to connect over wifi this will delete the wifi routing table and use the local table.
Airplane mode off - on to reset.
Thank for the reply. I'm not on WiFi...trying to troubleshoot the GPRS connection first. WiFi is disabled, however I'll try the connection over WiFi and see if its different...I will probably be using WiFi more often anyway.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks, Matt.
Are you using VPN Client?
Try OpenVPN. heard of much better success with it.
I cannot use openVPN - I connect to a Cisco 3000 concentrator.
OK tried this again after messing around and after I did an
"ip ru del table gprs" this time I'm able to ping the other end of the VPN.
However, I still don't get DNS resolution - I can't browse web pages, etc.
Any ideas?
Thanks, Matt.
I can't post links yet, but if you search your problem on xda you will find a 20 page thread on the same problems you are having. Several solutions are there

Thanks, I didn't find the specific 20 page thread you were talking about but there was a lot of good info. Perhaps you can share what your search string was and what the title of the specific thread was?
I have narrowed the problem down a bit. Over WiFi I can get data to pass through the tunnel after performing
Code:
ip ru del table wifi
All traffic then passes through tun0. For some reason I cannot access corporate intranet sites on my browser, and cannot ping them either. This is not a big deal as I plan to use this mostly for Skype while abroad.
It also seems connections over 3G work now to by running the same command above but against the gprs table.
Any ideas on how to save off the wifi and gprs tables, delete them, and restore them? Perhaps vpnc-script additions?
I'd still be interested in reading that thread you mentioned though.
Thanks, Matt.

Hi, try to ping one known ip address of your internal network. If it succeed then try to add this command to your interface
both internal and external.
code: ip tcp adjust-mss 1000
Hope this helps.

Hy, I think the ip which is shown there is providet via DHCP from the DHCP-Server of your carrier. Your Laptop is in the same IP-Area because you use your phone a modem.

hy, i think changing the app doest solve your problem.
You need to be in the same network with your Laptop.
Is there an Error Page in your browser?
You need to Install a Port-Forwarding, or else you cant acess it from the internet, furthermore you need to know the external ip of your college's
network. For further help pm me or write down the ip's an the used networkmask here.

Hi, guys,
I sometimes need to use a L2TP VPN to connect my company's network. The problem is, I can actually establish the connection (VPN shows connected), but I cannot visit any website. A ping test on terminal emulation tells that there is some problem with DNS lookup.
I am confident that my L2TP setting is correct since there is no problem with the same settings on a Google Nexus 4 phone.
Does anyone here have the same issue like me?
My G3 is 855 on 10L firmware.
Confirmed, I got same issue on my LG G3 (D855) model.
When on VPN connection, any direct IP access is working but DNS won't resolve any hostname.
Hi guys, I can confirm this too.
My device is a G3 D858HK with 4.4.2 and original firmware v10f.
This bug is really a showstopper for me.
Every ip address from intra or extra net is pingable , and the ip traffic goes through tun0 , but the dns lookups are dead.
It is possible to do dns lookup using a tool from the market.
This means for me that all ip routing is good and seems to be not a firewall problem.
Any ideas for workarounds ?
