Since internet in China doesn’t go along with Facebook access, i have to use VPN to activate and do other things. I have managed to add two apps for shadowsocks, namely Tomato and V2ray they are starting from Unknown resources, but somehow don’t work well with subscription i have.
Maybe someone who has solved the case can recommend an android app that will work.
xie xie ni (thank you)
UPDATE: After trying a bunch of apps, I have successfully gotten VPN working two different ways.
Method 1: Download Opera APK from APKPURE and side load it… You can the go to settings and turn on the VPN. Only works for the browser though.
BETTER METHOD 2: Download NordVPN apk from APKPURE and side load it. It will open the oculus browser to login, and then you can choose your country, the finger trigger works to click in the app, and it runs in the background for all the apps.
I was using strongvpn app sideloaded and it worked great until the v23 update, it now crashes when I try to connect. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but still doesn’t work. I hope Oculus fixes the problem
Another Option: I use NordVPN on my PC and turn on the Mobile Hotspot in network settings. Any device that connects to it (e.g. Oculus, tablet) will be protected. This requires that you have both wired and wireless connections, because the PC is sharing its wired connection by creating a hotspot with its wireless adapter.
Thank you man, really nice of you to report back. I had successfully installed v2rayNG. Also, if you do look for a neat file transfer app, Onedrive from Microsoft works, kind of hard to install it, entering login/password wasn’t a breathe, but it works fine.
I couldn’t get the XAPK to download from pureApk, it would fail. But you can download the NordVPN apk directly from https://nordvpn.com/download/android/
I sideloaded NordVPN and when I launch it from Library > Unknown Sources it just says ‘NordVPN keeps stopping’ and i have either the option to close the app or ‘More info’ which makes it crash. Any ideas?
