Hi everybody,
I want to use touch hd to connect to my office via VPN.
We are using IPSec connection and from my laptop I'm using cisco vpn client.
I tried to use Antha VPN but in trial perriod I could not manage to connect or setup.
Do you have any idea what software should I use (free or payed) ?
thanks
HiGuyz,
i need some software like Teamviewer to my windows mobile, because i dont have "strong IP" (?) in my desktop, is there any possibility how to connect to my remote desktop from my HD?
Thanks in advance.
You mean Static IP.
You can use a service like www.no-ip.com and then connect to your pc using via remote client on your htc.

I think when you say "strong" IP you mean static, for example, it never changes? If so and you use a half decent router then you could use a service like dyndns. Basically, your router will report back to dyndns if it's IP address changes. Then from your HD via remote desktop you can connect to, as an example, mycomputer.dyndns.org. dyndns has a free service which I use for exactly that. Your router may not support that particular provider but most support one.
Hope that helps
You can Also use hamachi and connect true Remote destkop..
Hi Guys,
Basically, you don't even need root for this.
You need to get a DIR-615 router. (I got mine for £10 delivered). I've gone for the D4 revision but I believe most work. Unless of course your router supports DDWRT.
I'd suggest getting this as an additional router. I've got a BT Homehub 5, and the lan cable from that connects into the DIR-615 internet port. So effectively two networks, one for DNS the other for anything else.
Next, install DD-WRT. Change the default IP to 192.168.5.(whatever). Just make sure where 5 is, it's not 1 as it will conflict and not give you internet access.
Next, get a smart dns provider. (DDWRT also supports VPN) - smartdns is an easier way. Put the IP addresses in the DNS fields.
All set up, running NBC Live sports from home on the TV.
Not to mention, with the video add ons - none will be blocked from UK. etc.
Hi,
This is EXACTLY what I've been looking to do, just didn't think anyone else would be doing the same thing!
So if I understand you correctly your set up is this:
Your Master Socket is connected to your BT HomeHub 5.
You then connect your BT HomeHub 5 to the DIR-615 via Ethernet?
You install DD-WRT, set up the VPN settings etc, and then connect your Fire TV to the DIR 615 rather than the HomeHub?
I currently have a Openreach Modem which connects to the master socket. I then have a ASUS RT-N66U connected to the Openreach modem via Ethernet. Am I right in assuming if I buy and connect a DIR - 615 to the Asus via an ethernet port and then do the above I can achieve the same thing? I
I'm looking to buy a fire TV so I can watch NBC Sports Live Extra on my TV. I only want a VPN connection on my FireTV only when I'm watching NBC not my other devices etc hence why I second router would actually work perfectly for me.
If all you want to do is bypass geographic restrictions so you can watch NBC sports then all you need is a smart dns provider, a popular one is Unotelly but there are loads out there...
I have set up using the below instructions (which are wireless) so when wanting to watch the Premiership on NBC I just unplug my Ethernet cable and connect to my router wirelessly which then has all the correct settings

Exactly . Very easy to set up! SmartDNS is set up for me, not a VPN. NBC works brilliantly.
Although, NBC has been hacked on XBMC - login not even needed (SmartDNS is still needed). But for the App, it will work great too.
My next port of call is getting a wireless harddrive, or something that takes USB/SD Cards, and wireless devices can pick this up - Essentially so I can download episodes etc from XBMC/PC to it and watch on Fire TV.
Can't be done with BT home hub 5 though can it? DNS is blocked I believe.
Is the Fire TV Stick easier to set up in a hotel than a Chromecast (with the AP Isolation issues)?
Am I right is saying that the Fire TV Stick is not dependent on the Wifi signal for the speed at which it 'flings' a media file, the Wifi is used to make a direct wireless connection between the fling sender and the fling receiver?
You can login through Chrome browser in Fire Tv.

Hmm the network connection is in the path of the data from the sender to the stick. You will always have a dependency on network throughput unless you are playing from local media storage - which the stick doesnt support.
If you are interested in playing from a local storage device, one thing you can do is invest $20 in one of the HooToo Tripmate travel routers. They have usb ports that you can plug in a local drive and share via wifi to your stick.
Sorry, I'm not very proficient with this, I had heard of WiFi Direct (http://www.howtogeek.com/178691/htg-explains-what-is-wi-fi-direct-and-how-does-it-work/) and thought that maybe this is how the Fire TV Stick worked - the sender and receiver needs to be on the same network to 'find' each other but then communicate directly.
I have tried using plex on my android phone to stream from my home plex server (admittedly over mobile internet) and the experience was underwhelming. I had thought that maybe (just maybe) I could load up my tablet with media and using a Fire TV Stick fling the media at a TV using this direct connection and avoid any slowdowns on hotel wifi. If this isn't going to work I have just bought a Raspberry Pi2 which I can connect using an actual cable (how 20th century!!!!)

You can achieve local playback to a FTV easily with one of the HooToo Tripmates. They give you a local wifi hotspot. Devices plugged into the hotspot can be shared (like usb drives etc). Media on your wifi connected devices can be accessed as well. Your tablet and FTV would connect to the Tripmate wifi and not to the hotel. The Tripmate can connect to the hotel and allow your devices to connect to the internet for netflix etc.. You have many options using this method.
Hello, I am the "proud" owner of a Sony Bravia Android TV with all its perks... running over the fact that I cannot connect a bluetooth headset now I am coming here with a question: native VPN seems to be blocked as option in the Android TV. I would need an alternative as I want to connect to a remote network where I have a multimedia source. In the remote network I have an ASUS RT-N56U on which I have set up a PPTP VPN server.
Does anybody knows any alternative to connect with my android TV to this VPN?
Thanks!
As I know, you can only use OpenVPN protocol on Android TV.
yep, but this doesn't help me in my situation...
my workaraound for the moment: I have reactivated my Android stick which allows PPTP VPN...
