There are a large number of web sites that place restrictions on who can access them by filtering IP addresses. If you have an IP address from a particular country, you will not be able to view many foreign web sites, particularly those related to streaming media, videos and other such content. On your computer it is fairly easy to set up a VPN to get around these restrictions, and Hideman VPN is a free app that brings this option to Android.

The app works by routing your web traffic through one of its servers located in twelve countries around the world. In this way it is possible to trick web sites into believing that you are located somewhere different and thereby access content that would not otherwise be available to you. There is no complicated configuration – all you need to do is click the flag of the country you would like to pretend you are in.

The app can also be used as a security tool thanks to the fact that it will hide your real IP address. This makes it much harder for your online activities to be traced and any traffic you generate is protected using 256-bit AERS encryption. It is a simple system but it works very well and you can be up and running in a matter of moments, regardless of whether you have worked with VPNs in the past or not.

A new update is now online for Windows Mobile users. This update allows you to share your workouts on Twitter and Facebook without having to visit the website.
Here’s what is changed in the new version:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The sharing screen
Added Twitter and Facebook integration. If you choose to upload your workout when it’s completed, you’ll be taken to the “Share” screen where you have the option of checking “Facebook” and/or “Twitter” and pushing the left button to post a link. If you don’t want to share them immediately, you can access this screen using the “Options” menu while viewing your workout data.
For Twitter, you’ll need to provide your Twitter username and password at the share screen. You can check “Remember me” to avoid having to enter them again. You can also enter your own text, where “[link]” will be replaced with the link to your workout on SportyPal.com.
You don’t have to enter anything for Facebook, but you do need to connect your SportyPal account to your Facebook account before posting. This post contains instructions on doing this.
The “Upload” button in your workout details no longer goes away after you upload, which means that you no longer have to use the rather awkward re-uploading method from previous versions.
SportyPal should now notify you after uploading a workout if a newer version is available.
The workout’s starting time is now used as the official workout time (used to be the end time).
Fixed the NullReferenceException upload bug. You should be able to upload all of your workouts now. If not…
Drastically reduced memory usage. This should put an end to the memory issues that high-res device users have been experiencing.
Fixed a bug in native GPS mode which would cause it to register failure even when it shouldn’t. This made it impossible for some users to use native mode.
Fixed a crash in the workout details screen that occurred when you scrolled through both free-style and non-free-style workouts using the d-pad.
The proxy bug should be gone for good now.
The d-pad buttons on landscape-screen Windows Mobile Standard devices are no longer mixed up when selecting a button from the status bar.
Added some bits to help keep the GPS chip online in case the device goes to sleep or the user presses the power button.
The tracking map now centers itself during the workout.
Fixed a (very rare) scenario that would cause the user’s e-mail address to be rejected during registration due to a null-terminating character being added at the end of every text box.
Fixed a scenario that would cause all uploads by a device to be rejected due to the device’s (or the device manufacturer’s) name containing illegal characters.
Added automatic language recognition for Czech.

The application it is very useful as it is, but the main differences are on their web service i think. Lot of utilities for goals, data, performances are free.
There is an existing thread for this software located here... Sporty Pal
Please remove the force IE8 tag from the site. It is making a lot of features go a bit crazy. The edit box cursor does not like to move over in some cases. Also IE9 keeps saying that it is blocking some javascript to prevent cross domain scripting. I think there is a rogue advertisement or something.
<meta http-equiv="x-ua-compatible" content="IE=8" />
Why are you still using Internet Explorer?

Why are you trolling? There is nothing wrong with Internet Explorer.
No seriously. I'm not trolling. I'm genuinely asking why you are still on IE. Is there a specific reason? i'm asking because basically every other browser is better (UI, user experience, security)wise.
Because from a security standpoint Internet Explorer 9 is safer than the other browsers. Do some research into SSL spoofing on firefox as well as cross site scripting attacks.
Alright! Another IE9 brother.
And we've sent this up the chain to our server admin.

Chrome? Too used to it already
I use IE mostly for compatibility, I know, sounds strange but most of the important sites I go to work best in IE.
Otherwise I use firefox which is nearly as good in that respect and better in others.
Chrome I found to be a huge resource hog, and Opera often fails to display pages properly, either getting the layout wrong or failing to show images hosted on my webserver used in my sig.
Although unlikely, our server admin is testing this right now to make sure it doesn't break any other versions of IE.

Thank you. I switched to the x64 version of ie9 awhile back and it is great.

Sharing a recommendation. This free app allows you to control your android phone over wifi. You launch the app (with wifi) on. The app tells you the ip address to key into your browser on your desktop/laptop (within the same wifi network).
You can send/receive SMS over there. Check contacts, etc etc etc.
Useful tool. I leave it connected when working so I can just handle my SMS really quickly.
Elegant design and well built. Tested on the One X.

amazing app +1 thanks for letting me know
Happy day,
I've spent some time learning about my phone, messing around a little bit with what comes stock and such. One thing that keeps nagging me is how much of my data the various programs in Google Play want. What business is it of a game-maker to want my contact list? Why should a ringtone or wallpaper or recipe or any other program require that I surrender my data? Sure, they want mine for billing or marketing, that's fine, but why my contacts?
Here's one. A company called Droidhen makes a game. They require the ability to read phone status and ID, which gives them info about me and the number a call is connected to. Why do they require knowing the number to which I am connected?
The list goes on, of course, and maybe I misunderstand Google's warnings about what these companies want, but perhaps not?
Which brings me to the reason for my post. I would like to be able to use and pay for programs that do not access all of my accounts, take my data, track me and such. If I use a program that needs to know my location in order for it to work, that's fine. But in the end, I want to limit what companies can seize.
Will rooting provide me with access to the privacy controls I want?
You could try using this, it's a port of how MIUI handles superuser and permissions. I have not used it myself but it seems like it has the features you are looking for by managing what permission's an app is allowed to have.

For the droidhen game, it needs the ability to read your phone status and Id so if someone calls, it will go to the phone call I think. I havent looked into it much but theres options out there

Hello guys,
I have had one specific problem for literally years now and I could never find a solution.
Say I've got a Galaxy S20 and I won't root it. Leaves me with three options to block ads:
- use Firefox and uBlock origin
- set dns.adguard.com as custom DNS
- use Blokada, DNS66 or any other VPN-based adblocker
The problem with the latter two: Chrome will randomly stop functioning whenever I am connected to any wifi network.
It will just stop loading random sites, not show all pictures in Google Image search, not show anything anymore when you click back and forward or just stop loading anything at all.
Go to mobile connection, it immediately works. Disable the DNS/VPN blocker, it immediately works.
Reconnect wifi, it will work again for a while. Can be two days, can be ten minutes. It's completely random.
I am not able to figure out ANY reason why this is happening.
I know Chrome has its own DNS resolver and you should disable it when using DNS based blocking methods (disable async dns resolver and clear dns cache), and while this fixes the problem that not all ads are blocked in a reliable way, it doesn't fix the wifi connection loss.
Using DNS or VPN based blockers only cause problems in Chrome, no other app.
I know I could just switch browsers, its just that I use Chrome on desktop as well and like the synced bookmarks.
Does anyone have any idea why using a VPN/DNS based adblocker would cause Chrome to specifically stop working randomly only in a wifi network, but not via mobile?
I have had this issue over several devices and Android versions for years now and I can't figure it out.
Curious if any of you can help.
I responded to your comment in another thread.
Idk why Chrome has problems on Wi-Fi, but an easy solution would be to save your Chrome bookmarks to HTML file and import it into a different mobile browser. There are plenty of better browsers for privacy & adblocking.
Strange indeed. I am using adguard dns from last 2 years, never faced such issue on chrome.
You can do what I do. Use samsung internet and enable one of its many ad blocked off your choice.
On desktop, chrome install the samsung internet extension. It'll sync bookmarks between desktop chrome and samsung internet.
I use 1.1.1.1 dns.. I know it didn't block ads but it enables me to bypass dns blocked sites my goverment blocked. View attachment 5026155
