[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] merquise:
Hi,

As you all know in little to no time all unlockers and enablers ceased to work and with them the ability to see all paid and free apps on Google market. Market Enabler/Unlocker worked on principle of changing MCC code in your device and thus faking your country of origin. The only thing required was root access.

In the meantime Google updated its Google Play app and servers and thus disabling the function of those apps.

The solution i'm using doesn't require root access and is working for now and i believe that it could work for a long time because of the method.

And the method is rather simple :D By using VPN your phone gets new IP address, preferably from US or UK, and thus allowing you to use the google market to its full potential :)

VPN stands for Virtual Private Network and works on a principle of intermediation where between you and target host sits another VPN host which redirects your requests and thus making target host think that it is you instead of the VPN host..(confusing right :D )

Maybe a picture will help a little:

Right, now that we got that covered, on to a solution..In order to use VPN service in your phone you need to configure the phone or to download and install VPN client software. There are a lot of companies offering VPN service for free or for a monthly, yearly subscription. Do note that free services have their limitations like caped download and upload speed, monthly or daily quotas and similar. I will list here some of them so you can try and see which one works for you.

1) http://www.tunnelbear.com/ (has its VPN app on market: http://goo.gl/QN969 )

2) http://www.anchorfree.com/ (has its VPN app on market: http://goo.gl/lcMtT ) (NOTE: their free app uses AirPush ad, you need to install and run Airpush opt out app: http://goo.gl/69JvV to disable those ads)

3) http://www.vpnoneclick.com/index.html (has its VPN app on market: http://goo.gl/KGLPV )

4) https://cyberghostvpn.com/en/surf-anonym.html

5) http://www.securitykiss.com/

6) http://www.justfreevpn.com/

The last three don't have their client apps on market so you have to manually configure your phone with their parameters. Configuration is done in Settings > Wireless & networks > VPN

When you install and start apps or configure your phone next thing you need to do is: (example is for TunnelBear and Hot Spot Shield)

1) Start TunnelBear and select US or UK: Start Hot Spot Shield and click on Start protection, skip to 3

2) Click on Turn ON

3) Exit to main screen by pressing Home button on your phone

4) Go into Settings > Application , find Google Play Store tap on it and tap on Clear data

5) Exit to main screen, enter menu start Play Store and accept the statement

6) Finished

Alternatively you can exit Play Store now and Turn OFF TunnelBear if you are using it (because it has 500MB of free monthly quota) and enter again Play Store and you should still see paid apps for some time after which you could repeat the process. If you are using Hot Spot Shield then no need for that because they offer unlimited VPN bandwidth.

More clearly explained (by yeremiya) :)

Feel free to leave your response in this thread :) As for manual configuration of VPN for other services i will leave it for some other time
