I was beginning to wonder just how many people missed that... I'm sure even if you put it in bold capital letters, they'd still miss it.

I support this as many, me included, I think just for plain laziness, don't read through all the notes
btw what's is it with this region bypass?
me and a whole bunch of others are asking same question release after release but honestly is it soo much complicated to fix it than to implement New features and tweaks on one of the already hottest patch of the moment? apologize my ignorance on the matter I'm just plain curious

Thanks for the reply! I'm not rooted and using stock so this won't work for me.

The region bypass at the moment relies on a DNS redirect using an external service to do it. This is how all of the bypasses for iOS work. The server I was using apparently is blocking the requests now and I need to find a new server to use. If it were a very easy fix, I'd fix it instantly, but it's not. Adding new features is easier since it's a matter of writing code i'm in control of. I have no control over external servers.

still looking for alternative servers... I wanted to set up my own server to do the redirecting, but I don't have the know-how on how to set it up.

Which tweaks for iOS use DNS to bypass the region restriction? I couldn't find any that did. I think you had mentioned Pandora Downloader previously as having this ability, but I can't find any documentation that says it does *any* type of region bypass at all nor can I find any option/setting to enable within the tweak itself in order to do so.

Here's one tweak that does the bypass via DNS: http://kindadev.com/blog/?p=2398#vpn4

Will it ever be possible to bypass the 100 station limit?

I do not believe so, since that info is stored on Pandora servers, so that restriction is enforced on their end. But I guess it wouldn't hurt to check.

The PandoraEnhancer (On the page that was linked to) DNS based region bypass doesn't seem to be currently working, although perhaps you already knew this. I would like to try testing other DNS servers within Pandora Patcher, but decompiling, modifying, recompiling, signing, installing, then finally testing just to rule out one potential DNS server was kind of painful as I did this once when the region bypass was reported as being broken the most recent time. Is there some way of modifying which custom DNS is used on the fly?

One thing I can do is add an option to use a custom address and you can put in your own address there. BTW, the current address used UnoTelly's UnoDNS servers. Using the DNS they provide, I pinged tuner.pandora.com to get it's IP address which I use in the patcher.

Just a feature request; no great need but just an idea.

Would it be possible to have an option to automatically download every track? Perhaps have it to only do so when on WiFi and only after 30 seconds of the track has played so it gives you time to skip a track you don't want.
