Changing Android i.p. address (Help) - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My school recently blocked my i.p. address from trying too connect to the WiFi. Is thier any way to get back on or change my i.p.
My device is Lg Leon Android lollipop

Blocked not ip
They can not block IP address, because DHCP server give IP address to device, and you can always change your IP in WiFi settings. They block your MAC address. This is unique value on each WiFi device. So, you must change MAC address, but it is not possible for all device (my phone do not support).
Are you sure that they blocked you? May be DHCP server have not free IP addresses or Internet was disabled.
And... may be school enable MAC filtering and WiFi allows to connect only teacher's devices. So you must to know MAC address one of the teacher's devices. But this is another story with airmon and social engineering

If they are smart they will do what I did for my sons schools. And run a static ip on all approved devices and then make as stated above use Mac filtering. More and more schools are banning the use of personal devices and to be honest I agree with it.

wifi DNS ip???

when ever i give th ip in the wifi network the sgs2 automatically save the ::1 ip in dns 1 and there is no internet please help me to solve this problem
Sorry, neither do I understand the title nor what your exact problem is
What do you mean by "i give the ip in the wifi network"? Are you trying to give your phone a fix IP address?
What do you mean by "sgs2 automatically save the ::1 ip in dns 1"? Do you mean the property for DNS1 is set to "::1"?
Normally, when using Wifi, you're using DHCP, and the DNS server is provided by the DHCP server.
So you should check the settings on your wifi access point.
I use the Google DNS (primary 8.8.8.8, secondary 8.8.4.4) and adjusted my access point to use that so that all of my DHCP clients also use it.

[Q] Android unable to connect to my Wi-Fi network - Windows can

I am in university halls of residence. I have setup a Wi-Fi hotspot in my room using a generic router by connecting from the ethernet out port in the wall to a ethernet LAN port and disabling DHCP on the router.
This works perfectly for my Windows 7 laptop. It connects to the router and then to the uni internet without issues. However, although my Samsung Galaxy S3 (International i9300) can detect the network, if I just try to connect to the network as I would any other it gets stuck when obtaining an IP address. After messing around with it for a bit i found that I could get the phone to connect by going into the advanced settings and choosing "static" instead of "DCHP". I don't know what I was really meant to enter for IP Address, gateway, subnet, DNS 1 and DNS 2.
The router has the IP of 192.168.1.1 when i connect it directly to my laptop via ethernet so I tried that as the gateway, I set the IP address to something like 192.168.1.14 (So that it was similar but different), I set the subnet to 255.255.255.0 and the DNS servers I used google's (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4). This got me connected to the router but there doesn't appear to be any internet connection.
I therefore thought that I had entered wrong information for the network (I was only guessing after all). Therefore I went into ipconfig in Windows and copied the default gateway and DNS servers and used a similar IP address (Last number different). I had the same issue.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
I only want Wi-Fi in my room for mobile.

[Q] CM11/OpenVPN Not Routing Connections Over VPN Correctly

I just noticed that my moto E (running CM11) is not correctly routing my traffic to my openvpn server. I noticed when I was looking at the current connections on my OpenWRT router that I could see the VPN's local IP address, and the remote connection:
IPV4 TCP 10.9.0.20:56657 157.166.xx.xx:80
Where 10.9.0.20 is my local VPN address, the other represents any remote address I connect to.
I could see all this in Luci's connection graphs, which means that OpenVPN is not sending my traffic over the tunnel at all, despite the reports from sites like ipleak.net and similar sites that tell me I have no leak . But if I can see the connections from my router, that means that when I connect over mobile data, my carrier can likely see all of my traffic. This is not what I want, I am having a hard time fixing it. Also, how is it even possible that my router is detecting the IP of my tun interface??
I tried two different OpenVPN frontends, tweaking the firewall on the phone (afwall+) and also playing around with the 'redirect-gateway' directives. I am not sure if this a DNS leak or total disobiedience on Android's part of my routing rules. The fact that I can see these connections from the router makes me think that the traffic is not even being encrypted before it's sent over the internet. My firewall rules are set so that every app is supposed to route over the VPN. These are my configurations:
Server Config:
mode server
tls-server
local x.x.x.x
port 35777
proto udp
dev tun0
ca /etc/openvpnca.crt
cert /etc/openvpn/randomcn.crt
key /etc/openvpn/randomcn.key
dh /etc/openvpn/dh.pem
topology p2p
server 10.8.0.0 255.255.255.0
;topology subnet
ifconfig-pool-persist ipp.txt
client-config-dir clients
;client-to-client
keepalive 7 80
tls-auth /etc/openvpn/ta.key 0
cipher AES-128-CBC
comp-lzo
max-clients 3
user nobody
group nogroup
persist-key
persist-tun
status openvpn-status.log
log openvpn.log
In my client directory, I have these settings. On my PC I do not have this IP leak problem despite the settings being the same:
push "redirect-gateway def1 bypass-dhcp"
push "dhcp-option DNS 10.8.0.1"
I have dnscrypt running with unbound on the server, serving the clients. This configuration works on my PC, but it seems no matter what I do I still can see the vpn local IP and all of my remote connections with Luci on openwrt.
I have tried using both OpenVPN connect, Openvpn for Android, and I am currently trying to use the ICS binary as well. Can anyone help me solve this problem? My goal is to tunnel all my phones traffic over the VPN and prevent IP or DNS leaks.

Bluetooth PAN DNS Hostname to pull from DHCP rather than the android creating its own

Hey guys,
So I have a bluetooth pan on a raspberry pi which gives an ip and Internet connection to an android, in this case the S6 edge. I am given an ip address, however I can't communicate with other devices on the network. I do receive Internet though. It seems the android is assigning itself a dns hostname, which separates itself from the rest of the network. I could be wrong, but when laptops connect to the same pan network, they are given the dhcp information from the router and they can communicate over the network with the ip's being given to them from the bluetooth access point.
The laptops have a hostname of TP-link_D5DE and the android has android_9xxxxxx
Can the android adopt dhcp hostname info via Bluetooth pan? Can I change this name? Is it possible without root if so?
I understand there was somewhat of an issue with dhcp "hooks" back in the day where the bluetooth controller couldn't retrieve this information but I read that on a forum which was a few years old and also read it was fixed on newer versions of android.
I plan on have an app with a webview client call on this IP resource as you would in a web browser. Is it possible to have this app issue a dns name?
Thanks!

How do I know VPN is working on Chromebook

If the IP address tool displays your actual IP address even though you are attached to a VPN, it means that your VPN is leaking your IP address and is not functioning properly. If it displays the IP address of the place (server) to which you are linked, it means your VPN is active and you are surfing the web anonymously. read more..
