FoxFi not working - can't set up VPN

I'm running 5.0.1 BOG5.

On my old Note 4 (can't remember the version details) I was able to run FoxFi no problem.

However, on my new one, I can't set up the VPN.
I click on the Activate Hotspot and I get the "Allow Connection" message.
It has a cancel and an OK option but the OK button doesn't do anything.

Anybody know what's going on?

thanks in advance,
Matt

Foxfi

So i am testing the free version of Foxfi. I have installed the certificate and have a lock screen. When I click activate hotspot it crashes the apk after 3 seconds. What am I missing?

De-bloat list and FoxFi suggestions for OB6 on Lollipop?

I searched around before deciding to make a new thread. Did not see anything specific to what I had a question about, unless it is buried deep in another thread.


Is there a suggested de-bloat list for the Verizon Note 3 running on the OB6 Lollipop firmware? For NON-ROOTED phones.
What I have turned off so far has not caused any issues seen yet.
I would like to make sure that the packages that track data usage are turned off, as well as any apps that report back to Verizon.

Would greatly appreciate if someone could post even a partial list to get this started.



I would also like to add that I am using the free version of FoxFi and tether is working!
You install FoxFi, then when you try to check the start tether box for the first time, it will make you setup a lock screen pin/pattern. After that it will install a certificate.
Once you have that done, when you try to enable tether again, it pops up a message that will take you to the Default built in tether. Once you click to enable that, tether starts working.

Here is something odd I noticed.
You can go back into the FoxFi app once you are tethered and working, then turn off tether WITHIN the FoxFi app. The default hotspot app remains enabled and continues to work.
Anyone else notice this? Also wondering if the FoxFi data limit is still imposed after you turn the tether off in its app.

FoxFi Trusted - System Credentials Lockscreen

Sorry if the title is a bit jumbled. I love FoxFi alot. The only Con I can think of is that the trusted credential prevents my phone's unlock process to be swiped. I am rooted. Is there some way I can move the FoxFi credential into the system side, so that I can reenable swipeable lockscreen; or is there a root method I can use just to set my phone's lockscreen without moving the credential?

Also, I know and have set my phone's locktime to the max. But even still, it locks way to often. I am running 5.0.1 VS98523C on my LG G3.
