Yes For new model Samsung ( mine was Q60 model 2020) I think Samsung realized the issue with the remote. So , the new remote is simple: Just go to setting and reset . It automatically goes to factory reset. To confirm this . ... I was on regular Japanese wifi... didn’t work. Rest, then it did. Thank you. Good job
Thank you Sir for giving me the idea to use the Hotspot instead of my regular cable. Your idea worked like a charm and allowed to accept the Terms and Conditions.. Best, Milind.
Thank you so much for your video....i was getting really frusterated and wanted to return the tv and that it was misleading about the smart features....but thanks to you i am able to use its smart features...cheers to you!!!
Worked great. Had a minor hiccup trying to connect to the Samsung server once I got past the terms and conditions portion. To correct that issue, on the terms and conditions page I inputted on my remote "mute, up volume, up channel, mute" which allowed me to select a country for my ISP. After that, no issues at all. Thanks for the help.
From my understanding this solution works with a few Samsung models. However, getting to the terms and conditions portion was my biggest hurdle. I found the other solution here: eu.community.samsung.com/t5/tv/change-region-for-samsung-ue55ks7090/td-p/1342071
Hello my friend !!! You did it !! I was able to pass the T&C Took some time. When using the sharing , this can take some time. Also, the new remote , yes.. you can now do a complete factory reboot. Also for your viewers , A USB-lan cable adapter will work. Your great !! Thank you very much

Hi good afternoon I am from the Caribbean and I have had a Samsung TV for about a year now last night it was not working right so I reset it to the factory default now I am getting 2 error
Thanks. I was having issues with apps, and accessing RUclips. I was repeated told, my cache was filled, and I had to delete it. I looked up a six different ways to clear my cache., but none worked, and from the comments, it didn't work for other people either. Someone said, "Do a factory reset. I found a smart hub reset, and did that. That almost bricked my tv, but I could access my wifi network, because didn't ask for a password I did you factory reset, and never hooked to VPN, because I live in the United States. Had a little trouble, but soldier through, and bang o, got back my unbricked tv. Haven't check if the cache problem is fixed, but much thanks, and I'm sending good vibs to you tonight. Ha, sorry dude, that crap, but thanks anywho.
Thank you very much, the original skinny remote that came with my 65 inch curved tv was the culprit. When I used the old school remote like you said resolved my issues,thanks again.

Hi, my father just gave me a brand new samsung TU690T and I’m having the same problem. He bought it from Yokohama base so I’m assuming its a us mode tv. Do you have any other way of doing this? unfortunalely I dont have a pc/laptop. will an iphone do without any hotspot option?
Greeting White Rice. I really need your help with this. I've followed your videos carefully, but I can't figure out connecting my Hotspot to the Samsung TV, that hasn't quite worked for me. I love in Japan as well. Please I'll appreciate any help from you. I haven't been able to use the full features of my TV after I had to reset it some days ago

I think I understand your question, let me try to answer. 1. You would hook the computer up to your modem or router with a LAN cable 2. You reset the TV 3. Connect your computer to a US VPN 4. Share the connection of the VPN with your WiFi adapter 5. Connect the TV to the laptop WiFi hotspot only Make sure after you factory reset the TV that you do not connect to the modem or router until the TV has accepted the terms and conditions

Nice, I don’t have experience with the Google wifi routers, but I’m glad to hear you got it to work. I wish the places where these Samsung TVs are sold would explain that the smart features require this amount of effort to set up.
Hello Nice video. I live in Japan. I bought a Samsung Q60 tv on us military base. Like you, I can’t access terms and conditions. I only have the new remote. I heard to do factory reset I was to hold down the menu button in side of tv to do f-reset. Please help me
Hello, thanks for watching! I’ve continued to research for ways to use the newer “smart remote” to do a factory reset but I still haven’t found a way. Have you tried calling Samsung to see if they can tell you how? The only other option I’m aware of is to order the older style of remote. I wish they made it easier, but until I learn a new method I’m kind of stuck. Sorry!
Didn't work. For some reason the Ethernet 2 port wouldn't accept any of my cords. I could connect to the internet but it always showed as being unplugged. No matter what I tried whether disable and enable, update drivers, nothing worked.
@@WhiteRiceJP nope. Never got it working. Had to take the Apple TV out of the bedroom and into the living room so we could watch TV. Would like to see an alternate method. I tell ya I love living in Japan but the TOS thing is balls.
Hi just purchase a Samsung smart TV, I live in Trinidad West Indies, having problems accepting terms and conditions. I did what you said, however when I click on the factory reset button then okay, and okay again (factory reset), my tv screen comes off and it's not coming back on again as shown in your video. Awaiting further guidance and assistance from you.
Hello thanks for the mail. Ok. How would this work ? My pc is only wifi. I buy lan adaptor. They sell on Amazon 1,500¥ So it would be 1 pc ... 1 wifi 1 lan adaptor for the same pc Could I do this ?? Thanks 白ごはん
If you found a good LAN adapter, try that first. Unfortunately I can’t promise that your wifi adapter on the computer will work You can also do it with 2 wifi adapters. The wifi adapter has to allow you to make a hot spot, and I have found that the brand Edimax works Please try the LAN adapter option first and let me know how it goes
Hello Thank you. It seams I was able to do a factory reset ... with the new remote. It’s this years model. I hope... So, about connecting to the pc. I don’t have lan cable port in my pc.... can I just use wifi ?? Can I do this with only wifi ?? Cheers !!
You would need to have 2 wifi adapters. So if your computer only has one built in wifi adapter you would need to buy a USB wifi adapter to make the bridge between your tv and computer to the VPN
@@mogimgj2046 You could either utilize a USB wifi adapter (Edimax makes a cheap one) or another option is to use a tethered connection from a smart phone. By tethering, you’d have to plug your smart phone in and share the internet connection by USB.
@edwin For me, I have an iPhone. I connect the iPhone to the computer with the lightning cable and tether to the computer. Then I share out that internet connection through the computer’s wifi adapter via the proxy. Then connect to the TV to the computer’s shared hotspot from the TV’s wifi settings
I don't understand. I don't have a laptop. My samsung smart tv was working fine but then my remote stopped working and then the tv . I can't access my apps as it won't accept my wifi. Also some areas are greyed over and I can't accept terms and conditions. Any advice
I used to live in Thailand where electronics are cheap. Bought Samsung AU8100 TV and without opening it brought it to my Country Bhutan. Tried all the steps and process none is working even reset and continued with thai language too. Paid the Windscribe VPN subscription and made the IP address to Thailand and still not working. Not sure if i can ever unlock these features
Hello La, I am having same issue with my Samsung Smart TV which I bought from Thailand in 2018. I couldn't proceed further with acceptance of Terms and conditions , Privacy Policy. Therefore I am still not able to use the smart TV features. Were you able to solve your issues la? If so plz advice me.
@@pemachoden3857 Hi No I heard We have to unlock it from Thailand itself.. But I am using Netflix and all from PlayStation and also from Mi stick that i ordered from Thailand. Mi stick is a small usb type stick which You can connect to TV and use all the features separately. You can get it from Many Electronic shops and also from ispot in Hongkong market, Thimphu.
Update : you do not need secret menu - just do reset on the menu built in - *then jump to US network (using vpn tether )* to tv - only then you can accept terms and condition sign in to your samsung account : voila 😉
For those living in the US, turn on your mobile hotspot and connect with TV following the same exact steps in the video (you can ignore the laptop wired connection & VPN part) 😊
Tried it. Got the TV to eventually take the hotspot connection but when it was doing the terms and conditions it would state that there was a region issue. QN90B. Anyways is there any instructions to do this on a MacBook?
my pc hotspot doesn't connect to any device just showing obtaining ip address i see this message on my tv while download T&C(Tv id and version is not valid)
Hi sir, I have an older version of Samsung tv, I did factory reset but, it gets stuck on the setup. I did not connect to wifi like what you said what should I do?
Really the only way is to have your TV connect to a proxy of some kind. These days you can get a proxy service to work with your router, so if you can get the router connected to a proxy, you don’t need to go to through the wifi settings
I haven’t tried that just yet, but on a windows computer, when you connect to a VPN (probably any VPN service), there should be a new network created in your network connections. As long as that network appears, you should be able to share it
This video apply to my EU TV (UE55MU7002)? I switched to the US region from the secret menu and now I have no samsung hub apps, error 40001 on Terms and policy smart hub. Please help
I have not yet found a good VPN app that can share a VPN connection for android or Apple iOS yet. I’ve tried a few and they run into problems with tethering
@@WhiteRiceJP ok thanks. And all I needed to do was do the factory reset and then it let me agree to the terms and conditions so I didnt need to anyway. But thanks the video really helped👍
The problem with factory reset through secret menu is that you lose your remaining warranty period if you enter to secret menu. In fact Samsung can later see every access to this menu and if it was not done by them you lose the warranty.
Please help, None of my apps display, smart hub is not working so I can't change the region, unable to accept terms and conditions and the setup button shows but when I proceed it says there's an error.
If your Smart Hub is already activated, you may be able to connect the TV to a VPN that’s connected to an Italian server. That will use a lot of data though, so you’d want to get an unlimited use VPN, or at least one with more than 2GB per month
When you say Italian channels, do you mean actual Italian steaming TV? If so that may not be possible. My TV in Japan still gets American channels, even when I’m connected to a Japanese ISP. I think the only thing that changes based on where you connect is the content available in Netflix, RUclips, and so on
Do you have the problem where you tv cannot download or accept the terms and conditions? There are a lot of cheap USB wireless adapters these days. Between $10-20 is all it would cost to add one, and then you can bridge your connection with the wired lan connection
@@WhiteRiceJP I ran into a problem with turning on the hotspot. When i click on share my internet connection with other devices it gives me the error ''We can't setup mobile hotspot'' do you have a fix for this?
I have a UN43TU8000FXZA and I tried to access the service menu using a Harmony 650 Smart remote configured for SAMSUNG, but I do not get the service menu to come up. Do I have to specifically use the SAMSUNG remote?
I’m not an expert on smart remotes, but the infrared signal needs to match, it could be that the Samsung remote sends a slightly different signal than your harmony remote. Know anyone else with a Samsung TV that would let you borrow their remote?
@@WhiteRiceJP i used a different remote and accessed the service menu. I did the factory reset and connected the TV to my iPhone hotspot running a VPN based in the US. Still getting the "Server Busy for Maintenance" error. Any suggestions on what I might be doing wrong?
Jason, I tried using the iPhone with a VPN directly and had the same result. Do you have a windows computer with a wifi adapter? Also, can you tether your iPhone and share its connection with the computer? Some people have been saying that they have a laptop without an Ethernet connection, so they tethered their iPhone to their windows connection, connected to windscribe, and then shared the VPN from their computer hotspot. It’s almost the same as the video, except your connection comes from the iPhone tether. Would this be possible for you?
I am currently facing same issue… but when I tried to follow this same method, I am now stuck in a totally different issue. My VPN connection is working only when I am connected to wi-fi. If I connect the Ethernet cable to laptop, the VPN is unable to connect. I am doubting the internet provider has some inbuilt firewall or something… Can anybody help me to resolve this issue..?? Seriously this is frustrating..😅😅😅
I bought a Samsung smart TV while stationed in Okinawa, Japan. I tried following the steps in this video, and the steps for correcting my hotspot issue. I am unable to host networks. Is there a way I can have my TV connect via VPN internet so I can get past the terms and conditions? I have tried using the VPN on my cell phone and using that hotspot. I have tried using connectify and speedify to create a VPN hotspot with my laptop (as a third-party app), I have tried just about everything I can possibly think of with my limited knowledge and nothing is working.
What kind of computer are using and does it have the latest version of windows 10? I had some issues with one of my laptops, but after trying another computer it worked. If you can’t get your TV to think it’s back in the US, then it’s probably not possible. You can reach out to me at White Rice Sensei on Facebook, it may be easier to communicate and solve the issue that way
@@heather2301 I did not. I ended up getting a fire stick to use. I've thought of buying a VPN router just to get the TV setup and then return it. But the fire stick is working just fine for now.
If you happen to have 2 wireless network cards, that’s one way Or... I haven’t tried this yet, but if you have the ability to tether your smart phone, you may be able to VPN through that connection, and just substitute that for the Ethernet portion of this video If you try it, please let me know the result

Last question.
When you turn off the wifi and switch to wired.
Your wired through the wifi adaptor yes ?
Not to the modem ?
:)
I think I understand your question, let me try to answer.
1. You would hook the computer up to your modem or router with a LAN cable
2. You reset the TV
3. Connect your computer to a US VPN
4. Share the connection of the VPN with your WiFi adapter
5. Connect the TV to the laptop WiFi hotspot only
Make sure after you factory reset the TV that you do not connect to the modem or router until the TV has accepted the terms and conditions
just curious why you sound like the microphone is several feet away when you're right in front of a microphone.

Please help me
Hello, thanks for watching! I’ve continued to research for ways to use the newer “smart remote” to do a factory reset but I still haven’t found a way.
Have you tried calling Samsung to see if they can tell you how?
The only other option I’m aware of is to order the older style of remote. I wish they made it easier, but until I learn a new method I’m kind of stuck. Sorry!
Didn't work. For some reason the Ethernet 2 port wouldn't accept any of my cords. I could connect to the internet but it always showed as being unplugged. No matter what I tried whether disable and enable, update drivers, nothing worked.
I’m going to try to make a new video that uses a non Ethernet method soon, did you ever get it to work another way?
@@WhiteRiceJP nope. Never got it working. Had to take the Apple TV out of the bedroom and into the living room so we could watch TV. Would like to see an alternate method. I tell ya I love living in Japan but the TOS thing is balls.
Hi just purchase a Samsung smart TV, I live in Trinidad West Indies, having problems accepting terms and conditions. I did what you said, however when I click on the factory reset button then okay, and okay again (factory reset), my tv screen comes off and it's not coming back on again as shown in your video. Awaiting further guidance and assistance from you.
The TV doesn’t come back on? Try unplugging it from the outlet for about 30 minutes, then plug it in and try again
@@WhiteRiceJP okay, thanks.
Hello thanks for the mail.
Ok. How would this work ?
My pc is only wifi.
I buy lan adaptor. They sell on Amazon 1,500¥
So it would be 1 pc ...
1 wifi
1 lan adaptor for the same pc
Could I do this ??
Thanks 白ごはん
If you found a good LAN adapter, try that first. Unfortunately I can’t promise that your wifi adapter on the computer will work
You can also do it with 2 wifi adapters. The wifi adapter has to allow you to make a hot spot, and I have found that the brand Edimax works
Please try the LAN adapter option first and let me know how it goes
Hello
Thank you. It seams I was able to do a factory reset ... with the new remote. It’s this years model. I hope...
So, about connecting to the pc. I don’t have lan cable port in my pc.... can I just use wifi ??
Can I do this with only wifi ??
Cheers !!
You would need to have 2 wifi adapters. So if your computer only has one built in wifi adapter you would need to buy a USB wifi adapter to make the bridge between your tv and computer to the VPN
Hi. Can you please tell little more about 2 wifi adapters? I don't have a Lan. Cheers from Tokyo.
@@mogimgj2046 You could either utilize a USB wifi adapter (Edimax makes a cheap one) or another option is to use a tethered connection from a smart phone. By tethering, you’d have to plug your smart phone in and share the internet connection by USB.
@@WhiteRiceJP connect the Tethered phone into the TV? Or into the computer?
Thanks for the help!
@edwin For me, I have an iPhone. I connect the iPhone to the computer with the lightning cable and tether to the computer. Then I share out that internet connection through the computer’s wifi adapter via the proxy.
Then connect to the TV to the computer’s shared hotspot from the TV’s wifi settings
I don't understand. I don't have a laptop. My samsung smart tv was working fine but then my remote stopped working and then the tv . I can't access my apps as it won't accept my wifi. Also some areas are greyed over and I can't accept terms and conditions. Any advice
I used to live in Thailand where electronics are cheap. Bought Samsung AU8100 TV and without opening it brought it to my Country Bhutan. Tried all the steps and process none is working even reset and continued with thai language too. Paid the Windscribe VPN subscription and made the IP address to Thailand and still not working. Not sure if i can ever unlock these features
Hello La, I am having same issue with my Samsung Smart TV which I bought from Thailand in 2018. I couldn't proceed further with acceptance of Terms and conditions , Privacy Policy. Therefore I am still not able to use the smart TV features. Were you able to solve your issues la? If so plz advice me.
Were your problems solved la? Im having the same issue la
@@pemachoden3857 Hi No I heard We have to unlock it from Thailand itself.. But I am using Netflix and all from PlayStation and also from Mi stick that i ordered from Thailand. Mi stick is a small usb type stick which You can connect to TV and use all the features separately. You can get it from Many Electronic shops and also from ispot in Hongkong market, Thimphu.
@@drnishalpaul thank you so much for the info la🙏🏻
Update : you do not need secret menu - just do reset on the menu built in - *then jump to US network (using vpn tether )* to tv - only then you can accept terms and condition sign in to your samsung account : voila 😉
Hello, will this work if we got a universal remote?
It should be possible if you have the right button combination. Does your remote allow you to do these buttons in order?
For those living in the US, turn on your mobile hotspot and connect with TV following the same exact steps in the video (you can ignore the laptop wired connection & VPN part) 😊
Tried it. Got the TV to eventually take the hotspot connection but when it was doing the terms and conditions it would state that there was a region issue. QN90B. Anyways is there any instructions to do this on a MacBook?
Thanks.
dude what happen to terms and conditions should i skip hub terms
or some ??
My doesn’t let me finish i hit the reset factory and that it turns off than it goes back like it’s downloading something but never finish
where can I find the wire that you put on laptop?
my pc hotspot doesn't connect to any device just showing obtaining ip address
i see this message on my tv while download T&C(Tv id and version is not valid)
How can I do this on a MAC
you can still do a factory reset from the settings
You can, but it won’t remove certain things from memory
Mine still won’t work, I used VPN changed to US and still error the server is under maintenance. Help me pls.
Hi sir, I have an older version of Samsung tv, I did factory reset but, it gets stuck on the setup. I did not connect to wifi like what you said what should I do?
Really the only way is to have your TV connect to a proxy of some kind.
These days you can get a proxy service to work with your router, so if you can get the router connected to a proxy, you don’t need to go to through the wifi settings
Could it work with express vpn
I haven’t tried that just yet, but on a windows computer, when you connect to a VPN (probably any VPN service), there should be a new network created in your network connections.
As long as that network appears, you should be able to share it
I got through i did it from my mobile phone
Didn't work in Germany. I tried US Atlanta through Nord VPN and Switzerland through Nord VPN.
My tv does not have a factory reset it let's me reset but it tells me my network setting will not be reset
This video apply to my EU TV (UE55MU7002)? I switched to the US region from the secret menu and now I have no samsung hub apps, error 40001 on Terms and policy smart hub. Please help
Any easier way without a pc to fix this?
I have not yet found a good VPN app that can share a VPN connection for android or Apple iOS yet. I’ve tried a few and they run into problems with tethering
@@WhiteRiceJP ok thanks. And all I needed to do was do the factory reset and then it let me agree to the terms and conditions so I didnt need to anyway. But thanks the video really helped👍
Oh cool, glad to hear it worked in the end. Mine required a US IP for it to work
I need your help. We are in America and we keep getting network inteference.
What do you mean by interference? Are you in Asia?
Obrigada!
The problem with factory reset through secret menu is that you lose your remaining warranty period if you enter to secret menu. In fact Samsung can later see every access to this menu and if it was not done by them you lose the warranty.
My tv is Samsung s8 series, it’s not working for me
Please help,
None of my apps display, smart hub is not working so I can't change the region, unable to accept terms and conditions and the setup button shows but when I proceed it says there's an error.
Did you find a solution ?
What if these steps don’t resolve the problem?
I guess you could try calling Samsung?
I’ve done this to 10+ Samsung TVs and it worked every time
@@WhiteRiceJP I get as far as connecting to the VPN it won’t let me it has an x where it should say connected
Do you have me on Facebook? I can try to help you out that way, look for white rice sensei, and I’m happy to try to get it to work with you
at the begin when i click on 1 to reset it the tv turn on and go to the canal
can i sign in afterwards with my samsung account?
I believe that should be fine, I only logged into mine because it forced me to in order to continue
Mine says connected to your local network, but unable to connect to the internet. What else should I do ?
I have the same problem if any one can tell us please
You solved it?
If i live in USA. Can i watch the italian channels straight from my tv?
If your Smart Hub is already activated, you may be able to connect the TV to a VPN that’s connected to an Italian server.
That will use a lot of data though, so you’d want to get an unlimited use VPN, or at least one with more than 2GB per month
When you say Italian channels, do you mean actual Italian steaming TV? If so that may not be possible. My TV in Japan still gets American channels, even when I’m connected to a Japanese ISP.
I think the only thing that changes based on where you connect is the content available in Netflix, RUclips, and so on
What is SSO1000 error while signin to sumsung account?
Also i have a pc without a wireless wifi and just lan and don't have hotspot on it so what should i do?
Do you have the problem where you tv cannot download or accept the terms and conditions?
There are a lot of cheap USB wireless adapters these days. Between $10-20 is all it would cost to add one, and then you can bridge your connection with the wired lan connection
White Rice Yeah I’m going to pick one up tomorrow and see if that works.
It should work as long as the adapter is capable of being a hotspot. These days most of them are, let me know how it goes
White Rice I sure will and hopefully I can just reset it from the settings.
@@WhiteRiceJP I ran into a problem with turning on the hotspot. When i click on share my internet connection with other devices it gives me the error ''We can't setup mobile hotspot'' do you have a fix for this?
pls help me my chinese samsung tv cant open smart hub
Why all this steps? What happens to plug in and watch. Returning my samsung to costco. Frustrated.
Cqn you do this with your phone
I tried with the windscribe app on my iPhone and couldn’t get it to work, but it’s worth a try
I have a UN43TU8000FXZA and I tried to access the service menu using a Harmony 650 Smart remote configured for SAMSUNG, but I do not get the service menu to come up. Do I have to specifically use the SAMSUNG remote?
I’m not an expert on smart remotes, but the infrared signal needs to match, it could be that the Samsung remote sends a slightly different signal than your harmony remote.
Know anyone else with a Samsung TV that would let you borrow their remote?
@@WhiteRiceJP i used a different remote and accessed the service menu. I did the factory reset and connected the TV to my iPhone hotspot running a VPN based in the US. Still getting the "Server Busy for Maintenance" error. Any suggestions on what I might be doing wrong?
Jason, I tried using the iPhone with a VPN directly and had the same result. Do you have a windows computer with a wifi adapter? Also, can you tether your iPhone and share its connection with the computer?
Some people have been saying that they have a laptop without an Ethernet connection, so they tethered their iPhone to their windows connection, connected to windscribe, and then shared the VPN from their computer hotspot. It’s almost the same as the video, except your connection comes from the iPhone tether.
Would this be possible for you?
@@WhiteRiceJP I can tether my phone and my wife does have a WIN10 PC, so I'll give it a try and let you know Thanks!
Awesome, hope it works! I think you’ll have to do the factory reset one more time by the way.
I am currently facing same issue… but when I tried to follow this same method, I am now stuck in a totally different issue.
My VPN connection is working only when I am connected to wi-fi.
If I connect the Ethernet cable to laptop, the VPN is unable to connect.
I am doubting the internet provider has some inbuilt firewall or something…
Can anybody help me to resolve this issue..??
Seriously this is frustrating..😅😅😅
Mine is from China how can I navigate
I bought a Samsung smart TV while stationed in Okinawa, Japan. I tried following the steps in this video, and the steps for correcting my hotspot issue. I am unable to host networks. Is there a way I can have my TV connect via VPN internet so I can get past the terms and conditions? I have tried using the VPN on my cell phone and using that hotspot. I have tried using connectify and speedify to create a VPN hotspot with my laptop (as a third-party app), I have tried just about everything I can possibly think of with my limited knowledge and nothing is working.
What kind of computer are using and does it have the latest version of windows 10?
I had some issues with one of my laptops, but after trying another computer it worked.
If you can’t get your TV to think it’s back in the US, then it’s probably not possible.
You can reach out to me at White Rice Sensei on Facebook, it may be easier to communicate and solve the issue that way
@@WhiteRiceJP I sent you a PM on Facebook. I'm doing a manual firmware update right now. Hoping that does...something.
@@johnbeaver2704 did you ever get it to work?
@@heather2301 I did not. I ended up getting a fire stick to use. I've thought of buying a VPN router just to get the TV setup and then return it. But the fire stick is working just fine for now.
@@johnbeaver2704 were you able to successfully update the software using a firestick ? And where did you purchase your firestick. Thanks❤️
Thank you man. My PC only supports wireless connection. i.e no LAN port. What to do?
Do you have a smart phone that can tether? If you do, just use the steps the same way except for our internet source use the tethered connection
Can we do this without Ethernet
If you happen to have 2 wireless network cards, that’s one way
Or...
I haven’t tried this yet, but if you have the ability to tether your smart phone, you may be able to VPN through that connection, and just substitute that for the Ethernet portion of this video
If you try it, please let me know the result
White Rice thanks! I was able to tether my phone fortunately
Awesome, I’ll update that in the video or make a new one with the details
ive been having an issue with step 4. under ethernet 2, it says "network cable unplugged" and wont let me connect to the *local area connection* under the sharing tab. please help
The same...have you resolved this problem? (((
Mariana, look in the window for another icon with the word IKEv2 listed. Share that connection if it available
