I have recently tried the free version of some known VPN, and as expected the app I wanted to use directly told me that VPN usage is forbidden. Do you experience the same issues ? Is there a way to make the apps (android, rooted) never notice if I use a vpn or not ?
You need a VPN that provides a static dedicated (only for your usage) IP that’s not been flagged as a VPN.
VPN servers are publicly known, especially for the free versions. Its not that hard to figure out what IP addresses belong to VPN services and add them to a block list.
Your best bet is to find a VPN service that let’s you pay extra for a private IP and see if that works. Most will have a 30 day money back guarantee, so the only thing you’re losing in the long run is your time.
This all being said, I’ve yet to experience too many sites or apps that recognize my preferred paid service, my banking apps, paying my utilities, paying my rent and car note, nobody else seems to care. This is across an Android phone and a PC running the same service.
Idk what apps or sites you’re using but you may just need to pay for a quality service.
Of course there is a way: vps with self-hosted tailscale (easy) OR xray with tls (advanced)
I recently found a free VPN that I don’t have to be registered. I use it to connect to the US to get more things on my streaming services and I was able to use the apps. It’s called Planet VPN.
I been buying VPS for a while now. Got one in India for few £ a month, same for UAE, and plenty more. Lowendtalk may be a place to look. You have well known providers like IONOS, Hetzner, Oracle even which is free to some extent. Streaming services can blanket block IP ranges which are known to be from AWS for example. Thing is, not every single case is where someone is using to bypass georestrictions.
Some apps detect VPN simply by checking if one is running on the device. It can be own private one and it would still flag up. Seen that in apps before. To bypass that you’d have to run VPN at router level or set up a gateway which your client device then points to.
One thing you can be sure of is that only you are using the VPN so with knowing that, it is way less likely of ever being blocked unless some odd behaviour was being observed. Like with public VPN providers, many accounts sharing an IP and using a streaming service then they see 50 different accounts all watching something, it is bound to flag up.
Yeah you need the VPN for torrenting. Since paid services still try to mess with its clients it seems only reasonable solution.
Try using multi hop if your VPN provider supports it
You could find a VPN provider which has a “residential IP” option, so it’s not a data center and won’t be detected, but they are quite pricey.
But overall a good paid service with dedicated IP would be sufficient enough.
What region are you in? What do you plan to do with it?
My experience is that nothing will work for some services. Amazon knows who I am, I can’t watch Prime US content without US credit card.
curious which app is preventing u to use vpn?
I don’t think VPN’s were created and are used for only getting YouTube at a discount by pretending to be in another country. It isn’t all about TV.
What do u recommend?
I look into that, but if the owner of the IP is “well knowned VPN company X” the purpose is defeated
Any recommendations?
Could you DM me as well, please?
can you tell me more about the first option at least ?
By what I am reading in github, those tools seem to be used to make some computer enter a remote network
what I am looking for is smth more simple that this
XRay doesn’t help with service providers (Netflix, Prime, etc.) blocking your connections. Tailscale is a good option, but plain Wireguard would also do.
Its not only certain ip address spaces that indicates known data centers. It‘s also the unencrypted headers of wireguard or openvpn data packages. And it’s usage of typical ports. And it‘s the typical data traffic pattern of VPNs……
You may read articles around deep packet inspection etc
There are plenty ways that you wont be detected at all.
