A solution for getting around metropcs's data cap/ blocks

Alright so ive been using this Free app called Droid VPN (Virtual Private Network) its an app that fools metropcs/ any other carriers from knowing what your surfing on the web through a server. If you don't know what VPN is , don't worry just google / youtube it. This allows you to go on all the websites with out the carrier blocking it.

Ok so how to use this app-

First off your phone needs to be rooted / which im assuming it is since most of you are tethering in some way with another app. if your not then look for something else i guess.

Follow these steps

1. Go to the Play Store (Android market)
2. Find Droid VPN and download (has a green icon)
3. Install
4. Open Droid VPN
5. Make an account with Droid vpn (super easy and fast) !
6. login
7. press start
8. go back to the tether app your using and start the tethering
9. Sit back and enjoy surfing the web with no flaws!!! :)

ohh yeah ps! after a while u need to upgrade your account for a fee, but its free for the beginning of use, then after they limit you for like 100mb , i suggest
upgrading for unlimited use.
Hope this helps! and share this!! thanks! ;)
