Note: I could never get PPTP working with my router (Dlink) with VPN Unlimited. But once I switched to use a L2TP connection it worked instantly.

Note: VPN Unlimited will provide you a long string for the login. I used the email that I signed up VPN Unlimited with

    I followed the tutorial and everything is setup through the vpn but when I do the network test I get errors when connecting to the server. I am using PIA HK server through a separate router and the IP address is showing correctly. Any assistance anyone could give is greatly appreciated!

    Subscribed to VPN unlimited as well. I have setup the router with L2TP (couldn't get PPTP to work). Nonetheless, I am using the de.vpnunlimitedapp.com (Germany server). Connection seems fine, as I am testing the vpn connection on a laptop. However, my tvpad2 connected but fail to stream any channel. I have changed mannual changed the dns to 49.0.0.0, test connection ok, reboot. Can't fire up any channel. Change the dns to auto, test connection ok, reboot. No able to stream an channel again.
    BTW, I get a local ip on tvpad2 when conencting to the vpn router.
    Any help is appreciated.

    Does your tvpad 2 have the latest version of the apps ?

    Try going into the app store or the n+ store to update the apps.

    I will try to update to latest app.
    Also, this is dumb, everyone has been talking about DNS of 49. Exactly what are they referring to? I was just assuming it's 49.0.0.0

    I have a M121S/3.26 and just bought lifetime VPNUnlimited subscription and when out to get a new TP-Link WR842ND router. I configured the PPTP with the information that I got from KeepSolid support, but it's not connecting. I haven't tried the L2TP method yet. I suspect that I'm having problem using this cascaded router method and I have ATTUverse in NorCal. As I look at the 2Wire 3600HGV settings, there's some options related to enabling cascaded router and some other setting for Public WAN IP routing. I'm still playing around with the firewall setting for that one IP.

    I'm wondering if anyone else is having this problem.

    the pptp is broken with vpnunlimited, just choose L2TP connection

    The login details and server hosts are the same s PPTP.

    Your cascade router shouldn't have any affect.

    Thanks Padman,

    ???? works now. I will uninstall & reinstall some of the Kid app later since doesn't work. But most of the Live VOD HK & China program works. I learned what is the VPN for this project. Very happy.

    I will help my two old neighbors setting their TVPad 3 up today after work. Not me, all credit is you & other valuable member in this wonderful forum.

    Once again, Thanks millions.

    Maybe your vpn is not connected correctly.

    You should go to www.chickenip.com to check yout ip address. Just because you hookup your PC and access tvpadtalk.com, it does not mean that you are using that country ip address.
