I can’t use 1.1.1.1 or WARP on my S23U with Android 13. This is a casual public connection at a library. In addition, not only is WARP blocked but all VPNs I’ve tried.
How I’ve confirmed: when switching to cell data everything works as it should, 1.1.1.1 works, WARP, DoH. Connect to public Wi-Fi, nothing works until I use their automatic DNS and WARP must be turned off.
I’m not knowledgeable enough to solve the issue or create a home tunnel. Mainly, I’m bothered that they block all online Google Play connections. I won’t accept this because I want freedom and security to do what I want and nothing I do will be a bother to them, and certainly not high bandwidth.
It’s *their* network, so they get to define how it’s used.
So you’re saying that you want a freely available service to bow down to your needs and wants?
try https://protonvpn.com , they might not know how to block this one. Then you can use 1.1.1.1 as DNS.
I use WindVPN at places that block general VPN and privacy measures. Used to work for a school district and they heavily restrict it… But no matter how hard they try… VPNs designed to keep people safe in oppressed regimes will make their restrictions pointless.
I tried it with OpenVPN TCP and it worked. WARP doesn’t though, and I’ll have to try 1.1.1.1. Are there any better DNS servers to use or is that still the top one for fastest resolving?
Unfortunately, online games are blocked, likely Riot Games knows all of the major VPN IP ranges and mass blocked them. Any idea on making a tunnel to my home network?
Yes this worked today, ProtonVPN that is with OpenVPN (TCP). However, can’t access the online Play Store services. That only works on cell data.
Would a tunnel to my home network allow me to get into games, would it appear to the server as my normal home IP?
Yes, you can try ProtonVPN + a tunnel to your network. VPN inside a VPN.
