If I travel to China, can I access blocked sites like facebook using this VPN?

You most probably can but select the tcp server unless China also block https.

Rainbow, thought I'd post it here in case you didn't check that thread.

I have all 3.
/system/xbin/bb/:
1. AndbVPNInstall.txt
2. ifconfig
3. route

But these
/system/bin:
ifconfig --> busybox
route ---> busybox instead of toolbox.

I've reinstalled busybox, and still get that error message.
FATAL:Linux ifconfig failed:external program exited with error status:1

Are you on darky or which mod? Some mods, not sure why like to make changes to what the other mods are doing. Probably darkys.
I have to create a new file to suit darkys style. Give me few minutes to check on this and I will update the files.

Please provide the kernel that you are using with your mod.

thanks

I am on Darky too. I tried to flash the file again, it says can't symlink /system/xbin/bb/ifconfig.

Try flashing Darkys with SO kernel. I may have to reflash with Darkys 8.1 and see what is wrong. During the testing, darkys was the most difficult or stubborn than any other roms.

@lch, which mod are you on now?

I am on Darky V8 with speedmod K12L. I just follow the instructions. So far so good. Pandora Radio working great...

Does it always simulate USA IP or it will random choose by itself?

At the moment its US IP only.

For those having error as in post #6, please refer to post #1, last line and see if that resolved the issue.

Okay thanks rainbow, I'll try that on post #1 as soon as I get home.

I am going to china next month. I'll test the OpenVpn and post the results here.

lol, as long as you post the result here, not to the China users. Else my server will die of overloading.

If China users like it, you can make alot of money by charging them..

I go for holiday only, not for staying long...

Hi rainbow, tested with your new file. This time the error message is:

FATAL:Linux ifconfig failed:could not execute external program

Did you try the connectbot thingy?
Check which ifconfig are you using.

Btw, what is the major difference of darky 8.0 and 8.1? It was tested with darkys 8.0 and no problem with that.
I might need to get the 8.1 and run a full test again.

Read the 1st post last para under troubleshooting.

Oh what connectbot thingy? Nope, how to check which ifconfig I am using? it's still -> busybox. Lol sorry noobish at this things.

Can you tell me what is under the settings->about phone->kernel version?

Thanks

Ok I am trying Connectbot now. Kernel: 2.6.32.9 stefano@stefano-desktop #1082.

Added on January 17, 2011, 5:21 pmSorry rainbow, but I think I missed this step when I do step 1.

3. Select LYNBVPN.zip from the location that you downloaded in step (3a)

Edit: I think I'll do it all over again and report back.

You need to download AndBVPN.zip and LYNBVPN.zip, then reboot to CWM and flash each of the file, then reboot normally. If you have already installed Openvpn settings, just follow the instruction after installing it.

rainbow6, need help please.

i didnt check using the connectbot at first without knowing my ifconfig is /system/bin/ifconfig and i flash the busyVPN.zip instead of AndVPN.zip. after that, i delete the folder xbin in system folder from root explorer, at first the flash back to AndVPN.zip is fine, but then when i try using OpenVPN, it said 'system doesnt met requirements. you need root'. so i installed back again root from speedmod kernel and when i try to flash back AndVPN.zip, now it said :

E:Can't symlink /system/xbin/bb/ifconfig
E:Failure at line 3:
symlink /system/bin/ifconfig SYSTEM:xbin/bb/ifconfig
Installation abort

How to solve this? Is it my system is already messed up (which i think so right now) ? Thanks a lot. Im looking forward to use this Boleh VPN smehow.

edit : and right now im using the OpenVPN, when i turn on the open vpn, it cannot connect and says " FATAL: Cannot allocate TUN/TAP dev dynamically". what's the cause of the problem eh? im staying in Egypt btw, is this working outside Malaysia or not?

It should work anywhere in world.
But you should not delete /system/xbin, that totally messed up your system. My configuration wrote to /system/xbin/bb, which you can delete. /system/xbin/bb can be deleted and recreate by reflash the AndBVPN. However if you delete /system/xbin, you need the reinstall your kernel and then reinstall my files.

i already flash back the kernel (speedmod K12N) and delete the folder in /system/xbin/bb but when i start restarting the OpenVPN, still the TUN/TAP cannot allocate dynamically. still cannot do. wait, this is also functioning for 3G connection right?

For speedmod, you need to enable tun in the tweak menu. Reboot to recovery modd and the go to speedmod lagfix and choose tweaks and enable tun.

okay, now got it already. thanks a lot!

edit: is the IP address is static or dynamic? when do i have to renew the ip address?

edit 2: just want to say THANK YOU SO MUCH for providing this service. i've tested it with Skype for the US version, and now it finally working over 3G! BolehVPN rocks!

This post has been edited by nasrulbond: Jan 18 2011, 01:15 AM

There is no need to renew the IP since this is static ip.

Thumbs up for this

right now after i disconnect to OpenVPN, sometimes i cannnot connect to the internet. when i opened the browser, it says "Access Denied, please contact your customer service". it never happen before this, and my data plan is still there. any ideas?

Maybe related to your dns. During connection to openvpn you are using google dns. It may take your isp sometimes to reset the dns. Go to openvpn setting and click on the fix dns and check which dns are you using.

Im not sure if your provider allow you to use goggle dns or nof.

thanks for the info, so far the service is running good. Pandora is at top notch, Skype is marvellous. Except that i accidently turn on the data roaming for the connection and poof, my credit is gone. haha, btw thumbs up for this great service.

Thumb up for this, thanks TS

Those not using SGS but have rooted devices may also try this and provide us feedback whether its working or not.
Thanks.

Why is it device specific? Isn't that all rooted android phones can use?

Openvpn requires the used of tun drivers which is specific to the kernel. For other devices or brands (MUST BE ROOTED), you can do the following:
1. Download and install from the market openvpn installer
2. Download and install from the market openvpn setting
3. Download our LYNBVPN.zip client config which consists of files to connect to the free server.

The zip file to be extracted to the /sdcard/openvpn (or whichever folder HTC etc.. called it).

Connect to the server using openvpn setting.

Got error to connect to vpn... Reconnect(caused by ping-restarted)...

Got error to connect to vpn... Reconnect(caused by ping-restarted)...

But I a first time user. Can anyone confirm this?
Is the server down or I screwed up?

After running a couple of months with openvpn and receiving feedbacks from users, we have decided to drop the approach of openvpn and implement L2TP/IPsec VPN for all mobile devices.
Please refer to www.bolehvpn.net/l2tp.html for instruction to enable VPN in your devices, it can be for Android, IOS and whatever else that support L2TP/IPSec.

Remember that you need to replace the server to andfree.bolehvpn.net for US-IP and l2tp.bolehvpn.net for EU-IP.

No download or installation of any software is required and THIS IS FREE until further notice.

may i know what is this for?

Usage for vpn:
1. Ensuring privacy during connection using public wifi access point, encrypting your connection and transmission
2. Accessing block websites
3. Bypasing firewall rules
4. Accessing country specific websites and streaming contents such as those wanting use pandora or US only youtube.
5. Accessing android market with EU or US ip address

hello rainbow6, i've used this in january earlier this year but now when i try to connect again, seems like the problem which sengsadf have, i also facing it too. i just copy the config file from the zip file to sdcard/openvpn then i use Openvpn settings but still failed to do this. any method to get it work again?

my a500 Iconia couldn't connect to the vpn. Why? thx =D

Unfortunately blocking and censorship have become very restrictive and includes many sites with no reason for blocking it, any way here you can find review about one of the most popular vpn services https://www.vpnfaqs.com/2017/04/vpnbook-review-2017/

can try to use VPN Unlimited as well.. comes with 7 days trial FOC.. try kaokao before getting subscription.. click my siggy for more info..

For Android, am using CyberGhost VPN.

Free, but limited servers unless you paid.
No logs (They don't collect your data)
Speed is alright.

Of course, if you don't mind your browsing data is being collected, Play Store has tons of them.
