Problem: My DroidVPN is already connected using mobile connection but I cannot browse using my stock browser. I also tried dolphin browser and Opera mobile but it is also not working. I am sure DroidVPN is connected since Google Play/Market, Opera Mini and other apps is working properly only my stock browser doesn't work.

Solution: This problem is caused by a proxy set on your APN. For some reasons the stock browser still tries to use the proxy set on your mobile connection APN but the proxy is not accesible since you are already connected to the VPN.

To fix the problem you need to remove the proxy on your mobile network APN. To do that follow the instructions below.
  1. Goto Settings -> Wireless & networks -> Mobile Networks -> Access point names
  2. Edit the selected APN that you are currently using and make sure that you remove the proxy.
  3. Save the new APN
  4. Restart your phone
  5. Check if your stock browser is now working
