VPN Monitor Dot on Firestick/Android (VPNSafetyDot Alternative)

Yea, I have never re-enabled it. Just be careful where you are getting apps/apks from, and should be fine. I tend to just get mine from play stores, Troy’s toolbox or very trustworthy apk sources. Never hurts to keep virus total around I guess either.

Just letting you all know if you don’t know already, I found out VPN monitor dot has a new version out that has a couple of settings you can charge! Don’t know if I’m behind the times but thought I’d put that out there.

AMD237 · 2024-06-21T15:26:31.349Z

What settings can now be adjusted that you couldn’t previously? I don’t use it on all of my boxes, but I do on some of my older, less used boxes.

“I don’t use it on all of my boxes,”

Just curious…is there any reason why you don’t use Monitor Dot on all your boxes?

It doesn’t really have anything to do with your Monitor Dot, I do prefer it by a wide margin over Privacy Dot (the other dot in Troy’s toolbox). However, I still use SafetyDot for my main boxes. I have considered switching them all over to MonitorDot, but SafetyDot has been a safety blanket for me and my family since I started cutting the cord. I do like that they have some extra settings and features than MonitorDot, which is why I was curious to hear if there was any recent updates like @Sandman57 inferred.

Understood - thank you for the reply.

I take it the monitoring Dot is worthless during recording?

Is any Dot helpful during recording?

I just simply clicked on the message and allowed it to download anyway. It’s been awhile so try it. I’m not sure so try to scroll down to see if there is an allow button. Sorry but it’s been a long time but it did happen to me. Good luck!

Pretty much as it’s only a visual cue and not a system one like a killswitch.

On the monitor dot .. I just got the new Onn 4K plus box we all know it has android 14 well I see the monitor dot is now old and won’t load on this box . Read someone has a work around and posted it to the monitor dot page .. but man it looks to be a little over my head . I don’t want to screw my new box up and I’m not really understanding how there doing it .. Troy would you consider looking into this and maybe doing a step by step video ? Or finding a different monitor dot for this problem ?

I am going to be releasing a new “alpha test” version of Monitor Dot later today that should fix the issue and install easily.

PapaS · 2025-05-26T15:34:32.250Z

Thanks so much, been waiting to get this on my phone forever. Have a great day

welcome

EngineerMind · 2025-05-26T18:13:44.079Z

OK, I just posted a new “Test” version on my website specifically for Android 14 devices (it will NOT run on Firestick devices). Please do NOT distribute/link to this test version so that it won’t get installed on too many devices in the event one or more bugs are discovered in it.
To install this new test version, use one of the two methods mentioned at the bottom of this page: www.MonitorDot.com.
Please let me know if this new version works for you.

There are now two different versions of Monitor Dot:

For Amazon Firestick/FireTV devices
For Android TV/Google TV devices

Please see the website for the downloader codes for each.

Hi,

There is a new issue effecting Monitor Dot. Please see this other post for the details:

Surfshark causing blocked windows searching Security

Over the past month, some users have reported issues with Monitor Dot not loading properly. After investigating, it seems as if Surfshark blocks access to my website (MonitorDot.com) when connected to nearly half of their U.S. VPN server locations. Here’s what I found: When connected to Surfshark’s “New York” server, the Monitor Dot app times out when trying to reach my site. The same happens when visiting the site directly using a browser like Silk. However, when switching to a different ser…
