VPN doesnt change IP Adress on galaxy s7

Hey

I've been trying to find a solution for this all day with no luck. I'm on a Samsung Galaxy s7 using the PIA app. I log in fine, and it connects and everything seems to be working great. However, when i go in firefox to check my ip (I've tried many different sites) none of them get the VPN IP adress - it just doesnt work.

Any ideas?

    Hello,

    Log-in to your mobile PIA client - settings and scroll down - Choose programs that can work with PIA or something like that, turn FireFox on, restart your galaxy and results should be OK :)

    Unfortunately I tried that, and it had no effect. Also, the setting seems to be for apps that should NOT use pia (apps that are to be allowed to connect directly)?

    Yeah, I checked again - that setting is for apps that should connect WITHOUT the vpn. Anyways, to be sure I did try it both ways - no luck at all.

    BUT the next page says: Enable VPN per app.

    And now there's a new update both for the pc and android

    Just got a new RCA tablet today...same thing...says it's connected, the app says my ip is in mexico, but when i check whatsmyip or dnsleak, it shows my ISP IP...no matter what server or country i try...it worked fine on my old tablet 3 days ago...i tried changing all kinds of settings and nothing is working...its almost an identical tablet to my old one...I got so frustrated i downloaded betternet to check and it changes my IP fine so its a PIA issue...I'm so irritated...any ideas...p.s. my previous RCA tablet was set up exactly the same and it worked fine on there

    Hey,

    Check google play store, there is an updated version 1.2.4(50) it fixes this issue.

    @alex1911 yup that did the trick...uninstalled app AGAIN...checked to make sure it was version 1.2.4(50) this time...reinstalled..connected and boom...everything showing VPN IP now...even browser saying I'm in another country...cool!!

    Nice to hear it Moshbeast.

    I really want that PIA stuff test a little bit longer all clients before uploading them to servers / play store.
