Can not browse anything after connecting to a tunnel

So, I was going through the guide of connecting to a VPN using an applicaton from here guide
. What I really want is to make my own VPN app by using free DNS available on the internet. Because I want to have DoH (DNS over Https)and full security. So, I want CleanBrowsing to be my DNS. (I know there is already an app for it but I want to do it from scratch). So I went to this CleanBrowsing DNS GUIDE. I am using the follwing free filter provided by them
family-filter-dns.cleanbrowsing.org
So, I am able to connect my tunnel to the server but when I open a browser it does not do anything. here is the mini version of the configuration here.
final SocketAddress serverAddress = new InetSocketAddress("family-filter-dns.cleanbrowsing.org", 53);
VpnService.Builder builder = mService.new Builder();
builder.addAddress("10.1.10.1", 32);
builder.addDnsServer("185.228.168.168");
builder.addDnsServer("9.9.9.9");
builder.addRoute("0.0.0.0", 0);
builder.setMtu(1000);
My complete file looks like this

How to programmatically connect with vpn server without using "Secret key"?

I want to connect with VPN server but I don't want to use secret key. Currently the code snippet i found to programmatically create vpn connection is as follows:

I have tried but I am not getting any workaround without secret key. Please help.

Unfortunately, we don't have any further requirements / spec of your VPN server.
You might want to have a look at the OpenVPN or strongSwan VPN (open source) implementations to see if they can fit your requirements. The latter for example provides the following ways of authentication on Android (https://wiki.strongswan.org/projects/strongswan/wiki/androidvpnclient):
Only IKEv2 is supported
Client authentication is limited to:
EAP authentication based on username/password (EAP-MSCHAPv2, EAP-MD5, EAP-GTC)
RSA/ECDSA authentication with private key/certificate
EAP-TLS with private key/certificate (see 1.4.5 for limitations)

Creating a vpn profile and connencting (PPTP) with username and password in android programmatically

I want to build an app that can connect with a single click of button which will create a vpn profile and connect to the vpn profile by parsig the username and password of the vpn server.

Android: VPN connection using VPNService

UPDATE:
a. ToyVPN does not use PPTP protocol (it uses its own)
b. ToyVPN is just a proof-of-concept demo, it does not support multiple {username, password} pairs.
c. API is one for OpenVPN: http://code.google.com/p/ics-openvpn/
This provides one potential VPN solution that you are fully in control of (the server is open-source also), but it is not PPTP or IPSec. If you understand the PPTP protocol, it should be possible to use this as a model to implement such a VPN client.
ToyVPN and OpenVPN doesn't work.

Although it's possible, won't be easy since:
The "VpnService" class is just a Virtual Network Adapter/Interface which can be considered/used as simple Fire-Wall like NetGuard is.
If you want to create a VPN app, that class will just ensure you do not need to root the device.
But all connection and data transfer must be coded from your side, which is hard network stuff.
On the other hand, there are people who did/are doing that even if it's hard to like.

How to get an InputStream via bluetooth and put in a Textview?

This is my first question in SO. I am new (and excited) in Android programming and here is my PROBLEM: I am building a project using my android phone and a microcontroller. The microcontroller has a distance sensor and transmits its value. I have managed to get connected to the microcontroller and send correct signals, but I can't get the distance mesurment, or anything else. The application doesn't crash or anything it just won't get the data from the microcontroller (my computer gets the data from microcontroler (data is a string)). My code from the android app is this:
public class Accelerometer extends Activity {

I have read everything over the subject (BluetoothChat, projects of people on the internet ...) and I am very tired. Any help is much appreciated.
--EDIT--
I have managed to get the inputstream into my texteview. My problem now is that my application when it is trying to connect to my device (microcontroller or my pc) gets stuck in the progressdialog (it is connected to the device but the progressdialog will not go away)and waits for something to come in. After a while (like 5-6 secs) even if something comes in it remains stuck and I have to force it to close. I think the problem is in the way the handler handles the thread. In the debugger there is no problem all threads run ok.
The changes in my code are:
In my ConnectThread:
`/** Thread used to connect to a specified Bluetooth Device */
public class ConnectThread extends Thread {
private String address;
private boolean connectionStatus;
ConnectThread(String MACaddress) {
address = MACaddress;
connectionStatus = true;
}
public void run() {
// When this returns, it will 'know' about the server,
// via it's MAC address.
try {
BluetoothDevice device = btAdapter.getRemoteDevice(address);
// We need two things before we can successfully connect
// (authentication issues aside): a MAC address, which we
// already have, and an RFCOMM channel.
// Because RFCOMM channels (aka ports) are limited in
// number, Android doesn't allow you to use them directly;
// instead you request a RFCOMM mapping based on a service
// ID. In our case, we will use the well-known SPP Service
// ID. This ID is in UUID (GUID to you Microsofties)
// format. Given the UUID, Android will handle the
// mapping for you. Generally, this will return RFCOMM 1,
// but not always; it depends what other BlueTooth services
// are in use on your Android device.
try {
btSocket = device.createRfcommSocketToServiceRecord(SPP_UUID);
} catch (IOException e) {
connectionStatus = false;
}
}catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
connectionStatus = false;
}
// Discovery may be going on, e.g., if you're running a
// 'scan for devices' search from your handset's Bluetooth
// settings, so we call cancelDiscovery(). It doesn't hurt
// to call it, but it might hurt not to... discovery is a
// heavyweight process; you don't want it in progress when
// a connection attempt is made.
btAdapter.cancelDiscovery();
// Blocking connect, for a simple client nothing else can
// happen until a successful connection is made, so we
// don't care if it blocks.
try {
btSocket.connect();
} catch (IOException e1) {
try {
btSocket.close();
} catch (IOException e2) {
}
}
// Create a data stream so we can talk to server.
try {
outStream = btSocket.getOutputStream();
} catch (IOException e2) {
connectionStatus = false;
}
try{
inStream = btSocket.getInputStream();
}catch (IOException e2){
connectionStatus = false;
}
int bytes; // bytes returned from read()
// Keep listening to the InputStream until an exception occurs
while (connectionStatus) {
try {
byte[] b = new byte[64]; // buffer store for the stream
// Read from the InputStream
bytes = inStream.read(b); // Get number of bytes and message in "buffer"
mHandler.obtainMessage(RECIEVE_MESSAGE, bytes, -1, b).sendToTarget(); // Send to message queue Handler
} catch (IOException e) {
break;
}
}
// Send final result
if (connectionStatus) {
mHandler.obtainMessage(1);
}else {
mHandler.sendEmptyMessage(0);
}
}
}
`
And in my mHandler in my onCreate method:
mHandler = new Handler() {
#Override
public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
if (myProgressDialog.isShowing()) {
myProgressDialog.dismiss();
}
// Check if bluetooth connection was made to selected device
if (msg.what == 1) {
// Set button to display current status
connectStat = true;
connect_button.setText(R.string.connected);
// Reset the BluCar
microcOut = 0;
ledStat = false;
write(microcOut);
}else if (msg.what == 2){
byte[] readBuf = (byte[]) msg.obj;
String strIncom = new String(readBuf, 0, msg.arg1); // create string from bytes array
sb.append(strIncom); // append string
int endOfLineIndex = sb.indexOf("."); // determine the end-of-line
if (endOfLineIndex > 0) { // if end-of-line,
String sbprint = sb.substring(0, endOfLineIndex); // extract string
sb.delete(0, sb.length()); // and clear
incoming.setText(sbprint); // update TextView
connectStat = true;
connect_button.setText(R.string.connected);
}else{
incoming.setText("Problem!");
}
}else {
// Connection failed
failToast.show();
}
}
};
Another thing I need is how to empty the buffer when it is full.
PS: Thanks EVERYONE for his/her help I am really grateful.

As an alternative to using the handler, just get the information in the run of the thread..
I have done it this way and it works for me.
public void run() {
byte[] buffer = new byte[128]; // buffer store for the stream
int bytes; // bytes returned from read()
// Keep listening to the InputStream until an exception occurs
while (true) {
try {
bytes = mmInStream.read(buffer);
byte[] readBuf = (byte[]) buffer;
String strIncom = new String(readBuf, 0, bytes); // create string from bytes array
sb.append(strIncom); // append string
int endOfLineIndex = sb.indexOf("\r\n"); // determine the end-of-line
if (endOfLineIndex > 0) {
// add the current string to eol to a local string
String sbprint = sb.substring(0, endOfLineIndex);
// get the start and end indexes of the heading
int startHeading = sb.indexOf("HE");
int endHeading = sb.indexOf("/HE");
// set the heading
Henry.this.setCurrentHeading(sb.substring((startHeading + 2), endHeading));
// get the start and end indexes of the front range
int startFrontRange = sb.indexOf("FR");
int endFrontRange = sb.indexOf("/FR");
// get the front range
Henry.this.currentFrontRange = sb.substring((startFrontRange + 2), endFrontRange);
... ( grab all the information you need here ) ...
// debugging output what we have
// System.out.println("recv: " + sbprint);
// clean out the sb to ready next run
sb.delete(0, sb.length());
}
I save all the information retrieved from the serial connection in my Application (Henry), then any Activity that wants to use the info gets it from the application. If the view needs to have a updated perspective on the information, I add a timer to the view to kick of a refresh method as often as I like. This has the added advantage of being able to use the information from anywhere in your android application.
I send about 10 data points from the arduino to the device and about 3 data points from the device to the arduino this way. I added my own markup around the datapoints to identify them.
Hope this helps!
