Problems connecting to VPN. Please help.

**fasst27** · 08-23-2011, 09:23 AM

So I'm overseas and I need to virtually appear in the US to access some sites and other stuff. I have been trying to connect through a VPN on my Sensation, but no luck. I am using VPNfire.com, which I use on my iPad and have no problems. Why is this not working on my Sensation? I can't figure it out at all! I've tried everything PPTP, L2TP... nada.

Anyone else successfully use a VPN on your Sensation?

You'll need root access. See this thread to get VPN working:

Wait, wait, wait... So a regular VPN won't work on a standard Sensation? I don't get it? Why is it even there? SOOO confused.

Thanks for replying, btw.

I'm not a VPN user myself, but read through that thread to get an idea of your situation.

wait, are you trying to use your phone to connect you a vpn source in the US, or are you trying to vpn into your phone (which is located in the US) ?

No, my phone is with me overseas. I'm trying to connect to internet as if I was in US. I want to download Amazon MP3, which is not available outside the US. I bought all my music there and stored it in the cloud. Now I'm overseas and can't access it on my Sensation.

BTW, WiFi calling totally works overseas! Like being at home!
