Hi everyone!
I had the same exact problem, solved it by purchasing a shared SOCKS5 Netherlands proxy (probably you can use any other country, except for Russia of course) with authentication. The price was around 0.3$ for a month, you might find even cheaper. Works like as using shadowsocks and maybe even better.
Then after purchase you have to input proxy into your Multi-Hop, make sure to use SOCKS5 proxy.
Any HTTP/HTTPS proxies won’t work.
There is a proxy server from PIA, for it you only need to generate a login and password in your personal account. And unfortunately, there is no option for such a connection in the PIA mobile application. I tried through OpenVPN Connect, without success. Are there such solutions for Android?
where did you buy shadowsocks proxies?
Thanks, make sure to switch to UDP as well, only then got it working
My friend can’t login into PIA app in russia, do you know any vpns that work temporarily just for logging into PIA?
Thanks for telling about proxy server from PIA, but I guess it might be blocked by a provider in any moment soon, so it’s better to get a socks5 proxy from some proxy service. Haven’t tried to connect on a phone, using regular vpn from store if needed.
On proxy6 website.
You have to buy socks5 proxies, shadowsocks are a bit different thing.
You don’t have to buy your own server. Just enter in search: “Do you offer a SOCKS5 proxy”. This is a simple guide, but you need access to your personal PIA account.
You also need an access point that is not in Russia , cause trying to get IP while in Russia doesnt generate anything. Had to ask someone to do it for me out side Russia. So keep that in mind. But it works. For now
Thank you! I got it working too!
The whole setup doesn’t feel as fast as just using the client, but it works.
I was able to ping that server and get the IP using my normal internet connection, but the PIA client (win) simply won’t connect to it.
