Xda Website Slow Load - About xda-developers.com

Hello, i am using this site for a long time .. the last 5 months i think i have noticed when i try to open the page needs a lot of time to load all of its content .. Might it is DNS problem , i have tried to change the DNS to 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1 or 8.8.8.8 8.4.4.8 but nothing changed .. My pc is a powerfull machine, i have been this problem only with XDA .. Every other site its loading perfect. Bellow i post a ping command to xda-dev site .. Keep in mind i live in Greece , my speed is aprox at 9 mpbs and 1 upload.

If you're using a VPN could affect performance and cleaning site data, using different browser..

Maybe you should get an ad-free subscription with XDA [emoji13]

Where are the ads I don't see any of them

Have you tried resolving the packets through protocols like DNS over HTTP or DNS over TLS? That can sometimes increase the speed

The VPN doesn't work on the XDAndroid on my Touch Pro, too. I don't know why. I wanna cross the GFW on Android!

but VPN is available on Android for HD2, as you may know, in china, twitter,facebook,youtube and many other sites are blocked,can you imagine an internet without them? so we have to use VPN to login these sites...

Move to a country that doesn't persecute the people for wanting to access information?
The HD2 is not only a more feature-complete port (they have camera, bt, etc working) but the phone is MUCH more powerful. Not really a fair comparison.
If you want a VPN that badly, figure out how the HD2 guys got it working and port it to our lowly MSM devices. I'm sure other Chinese nationals will appreciate your efforts!
Good suggestions, I'll consider later

don't worry so much, as is confirmed, china will launch the white-list system at this end of the year, only the sites they need us to visit will be available. everyone should be registered in the government if they want internet access. at that time, we cannot even visit xda. so the general vpn won't work anymore

Remote PC control from Internet

Hi all,
I am trying to access my pc from the internet. Silently boot it, access the PC, files and even use the camera to see what's going on in the house while I am away, listen to people and finally shut it down.. All remotely from my android device from internet. 3G or WiFi at a friends place.
Software I am using : wake on LAN from play store. For booting my PC from LAN and team viewer and unified remote for controlling the PC.
Where I am not successful : booting it from internet. Can anyone here let me know whether anyone has such a setup?
Device : HTC one x, CM 10.1 RC1
Router : Netgear
Dynamic IP : yes

I had a similar setup although I used it to access files only. Can't see why yours won't work, assuming you are just putting it to sleep as opposed to a full shutdown.

Oh I see, it will work over internet but not with the ip address of the computer, you must do it via the router and forward the port you wish to use.

Set up a dynamic DNS client. If you're using windows:
Get an account at freedns.afraid.org, and go to subdomains. Set up a new subdomain.
Then download http://www.techknowpro.com/freedns/ and login to your afraid.org account through the application, and keep it running. It will automatically update the IP of the subdomain to lead to your computer.
Just locally forward all the ports necessary.
Then connect via the subdomain rather than your IP.
Alternatively you can request a static IP from your ISP but you might need to pay more.

In order to use Dynamic DNS:
Firstly, go to afraid.org, and make an account. Here is the registration link: http://freedns.afraid.org/zc.php.
After registration, click this link and log into the site.http://freedns.afraid.org/menu/?ls=1
{
"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"
}
You should now be at this menu. Click Subdomains.
You should now be at the subdomains menu.
Click add or go to this link http://freedns.afraid.org/subdomain/edit.php.
For type, keep it as A. For subdomain, type in the domain prefix, i.e.: the "luiejongen" part in "luiejongen.xda-developers.com." You can choose anything as domain. Leave destination as default as the site will automatically input your current IP address on the computer you are using into the box. Don't check wildcard, and then click save.
You now have a subdomain!
Now, we want the destination IP to update automatically instead of us having to go in and change it every time our numeric, dynamic IP changes. On Windows, go here and download the FreeDNS Updater: http://www.techknowpro.com/freedns/. After downloading, open it and log in to your afraid.org account with it.
On Ubuntu, you can follow these directions to set up DNS updating: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1758930. Even though it says the tutorial is for Lucid, it still works on Quantal and Raring. You could probably adapt it for other Linux distros if you can get inadyn running on other distros.
I am not sure about Mac OS X, however.
Here is the complete list of FreeDNS compatible DNS updater clients: http://freedns.afraid.org/scripts/freedns.clients.php.
If you have any other questions, please ask me!
You could try no-ip.org. Most routers let you configure the service on them.
If you set up something that runs on your computer, when you shut it down, your ip might change and it won't get updated.
If the service is running on your router, your ip will stay updated. Then you can access by the address yourusername.no-ip.org.

2) I get this error.. when I try to login with my user id and pw.. any clues?

Hi,
If you need it all to work without having the FreeDNS update on all the time, then you need to request a static IP from your ISP.
As for number 2, I'm not sure. I have never run into that error before.

Remove Amazon Underground restriction for country

Hello!
I'm from Spain and nowadays Amazon Underground doesn't work in this country. I've created an account in amazon.com (my own account has registered my adress) and removed the gps and localization permissions with permission master, and then removed the cache. Still doesn't work. Anyone knows how to "cheat" on location for using Underground?
You can try hola vpn, works for me. I watch prime videos and I'm in Nicaragua.

It doesn't work for Amazon neither for YouTube. Thanks, though
Amazon.com supports app buying for many countries, including Malta, where I live.
The problem is that when I am clicking to buy one of the free apps under the Underground section, it gives me an error about being not eligible to buy,
due to geographical restrictions.
Any ideas why this happens?

Guys, if you have an Amazon.com account the best bet is to use a VPN service to make the servers at Amazon think you are in America.
I use one all the timer in Australia to buy books from Amazon for Kindle as the library here is pretty limited, as are netflix and a lot of other streaming services.
Just turn off the VPN when you want to go local - you can be in other places than just the US too....

Downloading app from Amazon underground is different from buying apps from the normal Amazon app. VPN is not going to work. The app check for the language setting to determine the location. Switch the language ,reinstall the app and register a new account inside the underground app. Don't switch back the language if you want to use the underground service.

Then the settings in Amazon is set to the wrong region... It's easier to alter those from a PC than a phone as you'll have to look for your Amazon region settings in your account...
Setting language doesn't do a thing... It is a specific setting in Amazon account...
You may need the VPN to access your American Amazon account after you have fixed this issue however as it will send you to the reginal Amazon if you try to go there without a VPN set using your phone...
Just a word from the wise...
Ok found the solution.
And of course it didn't have to do anything with VPN, changing phone's language etc
At the settings of the Amazon account, at the 'Manage your devices' page, I changed that to an address in USA and all options for downloading were activated.

Try using NextDNS instead, you make a free account, get a unique dns address to use, then you can add block lists to your account, might have more luck that way

The solution is disconnect pro since it isn't a dns, it uses the knox firewall to block ads.
Disconnect pro from galaxy store
I use Disconnect Pro as well.
Just purchased disconnect pro, will see how we go
