Cant install vpn,
I have an Android tablet which I use for media...tv, radio, downloads etc., As soon as I try to install a VPN everything stops. The browser doesnt work and the VPN doesnt work either. I have done the usual things but there is no way that a VPN will work. Any ideas?
Re: Cant install vpn,
Which VPN are you trying to install?
How do you normally connect your tablet to the internet?
Cheers
Gerry

Hi Evelyn,
OS is Operating System.........usually found Apps > Settings > About Device
You could for example see Android 7.0 or earlier ones...........some Apps don't run on some earlier versions.
TunnelBear VPN
Current Version v150
Requires Android 4.1 and up
Look at Page 24...............

PS: did you have a typo in the Make........

Re: Cant install vpn,
My replies dont seem to be getting through. Im sorry just not techie enough to understand even with the instructions. I dont know where to get the info from for the proxy. The minute I switch the VPN everything stops. Never mind, thanks for your help anyway.the tablet is 5.1.1.

Re: Cant install vpn,
Hi Evelyn,
Take a step back............why do you want to install a VPN............
If its to get iPlayer..............what is your current internet speed................a VPN will reduce this.
As you will have a TunnelBear account stick with this if you want to move forward.........uninstall all the other VPN's you have installed.
Looking at the install instructions they are very straight forward so I'll have a play later .
OK not so later.............just installed TunnelBear on Android
1) Created an account
2) Installed via Playstore
3) Bear sent to email...confirmed account
4)login on Andriod
5)start VPN
4)no techie info ask for
Done some Speed tests from Android..............
With TunnelBear download 3.12Mbps upload 1.48Mbps
Without............................5.21Mbps upload 1.31Mbps
Have a go.................

Re: Cant install vpn,
Ok went to playstore and re installed. Entered my account details and logged in. Changed country to United Kingdon. Switched on tunneling, then it asked to do whatever it is they do. Waited seconds the it connected. All the other apps disconnected as did browser. Cant use anything on tablet.?? My internet is very good 30+. I never have a problem on my ipad air or my android box .

Hi Evelyn,
You didn't say why you wanted VPN on that system..............
A smart DNS could work ...Members have been having success with SmartDNS

Re: Cant install vpn,
See if I can explain. On my android tablet I have various media apps including IPlayer, Terrarium, Kodi, ITV Hub etc. on my tele(through an android box) I have all the same. I use the tablet to see if things are available. To look for programmes and streams. I dont really need a VPN because I have one on my android box but I was intrigued to know why this was happenening. I very rarely watch things that need VPN but this was really bugging me. Thank you for all your assistance. Maybe one day I will find a way round this. Thanks
