In Crimea, after joining the peninsula to the Russian Federation, without exception, all owners of Android devices encountered the unpleasant problem of a malfunction with a code in message 403. An error in Crimea (this is where serious problems exist) will now be considered. At the same time, we will give some explanations about how to eliminate it by the simplest methods.
Play Market 403 crash code (error in Crimea): reasons for appearing?
Failure itself can occur for various reasons (cache overflow, lack of space on internal or external storage, etc.).
However, in this case, despite the general description of the problem, the 403 Play Market error in Crimea is associated exclusively with the sanctions imposed against the Russian Federation. As you know, geolocation is constantly turned on on Android devices, so logging into the service, not to mention trying to download and install applications, is completely impossible.
But, as it turned out, this problem can be solved and even very simple. How to get around error 403 in the Crimea? Own means of Android systems do not allow this, so you have to use third-party software, which, for example, when compared with other systems, works like Internet proxy servers, replacing the original location of the device owner with another.
Error 403 in the Crimea: how to fix using the Super VPN application?
So, since it turns out to be impossible to disable constant monitoring, you need to use special utilities that can be downloaded from the Internet (there is good access there).
Failure with code 403 (error in Crimea) is eliminated as follows. First, you should launch any Internet browser installed on the device and download a small application called Super VPN. To simplify matters, you can download the installation file, for example, from a home terminal or laptop, and then transfer it to the device to run. For installation, it is important to use the item to allow installation from unknown sources.
Some, however, argue that changing the VPN can be done by turning on the 3G or 3G + mode directly on the device, however, as practice shows, this is not an indicator for Google Play and applications are still not loading.
After installing the application, we make the first launch. Next, click the button to establish communication. After that, a warning about trusting the application will pop up. I have to agree, then the connection icon will appear in the panel on top. Failure with code 403 (error in Crimea) will no longer appear. The only thing worth paying attention to is disabling the application after you finish working with the Google Play service, as conflicts with other Android applications may occur.
Using OpenVPN Connect Utility
There is another way to fix the failure, in which error 403 occurs in the Crimea. How to fix it? You can use the free OpenVPN Connect application. True, this method is more time consuming.
After installation, you need to go to the resource vpngate.net/en/ and download the configuration file (Config) from there, and for any other location other than the Russian Federation. This will be followed by a redirect (redirect) to the download page, where you will need to select the first link (the one above).
At the end of the download, click on the file in the notification area and agree with the installation of the configurator (Accept). Then, as in the previous case, we confirm the confidence in the application, after which the network icon will appear on top, and the Play Market will begin to work as expected.
Instead of a total
Of course, these are not all methods or utilities that can fix the 403 crash problem. An error in the Crimea can be fixed with other applications. But they all work on the same principle - they simply change the VPN connection so that the service perceives the device in such a location as if it were in another country. When specifying a region in the second case, it is better to choose the one that is closer to the Crimea by position.
In addition, on the same Internet you can find a huge number of programs running on a PC with a connected smartphone or tablet, so you can get around the limitations in this way. However, if you have access to the Internet directly from the device, you can not do such things.
In conclusion, it is worth saying that today there are a lot of enthusiasts in their field who are developing more and more new methods of circumventing such restrictions, both from the international community and from individual companies and services. So a solution to the problem can be found anyway.
