Hey everyone! i got a shield (TV one) as a gift but when i moved back to uni last week (in China) I cant get my shield set up as the 3rd thing it does (after language and wifi) it goes on to connect to google, which is fully blocked here.
I can spend 50-60$ on a VPN router but before that I wanted to know if there is anyway for me to bypass this?
also does the device need constant connection to google during usage? I've seen some links on VPN but not sure yet.
The system uses Google Play Services for things like the app store, and some games use Google's gaming service. Once you get past the initial set up, it should be fine, although you'll get a limited experience without full access to Google.
