This app is useful for:
|
|
|
|
* Connecting things that don't support VPN like Chromecasts behind corporate firewalls;
|
|
* Setting up [gapps](https://support.google.com/pixelphone/answer/7158475) behind corporate firewalls;
|
|
* Connecting to your mobile hotspot but you're not bothered to set up VPN on your device;
|
|
* Bypassing tethering limits. (you might need more of a real VPN than an ad-blocker to fool a smarter cellular provider)
|
|
|
|
P.S. You can also do the similar on [Windows](https://www.expressvpn.com/support/vpn-setup/share-vpn-connection-windows/)
|
|
and [Mac](https://www.expressvpn.com/support/vpn-setup/share-vpn-connection-mac/).

I don't know about you but I can't get my stupid Windows 10 to work with
|
|
[hosted network](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd815243(v=vs.85).aspx)
|
|
now that they introduced this
|
|
[Mobile hotspot](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4027762/windows-use-your-pc-as-a-mobile-hotspot).
|
|
|
|
This app is designed to do only minimal changes to your system, so there's almost no chance you will brick your device
|
|
and/or break your Internet using this app *under normal conditions*. However there's also absolutely no guarantee it won't.
|

|
|
## Q & A
|
|
|
|
### Failed to create group due to internal error/repeater shuts down after a while?
|
|
|
|
This could caused by the Wi-Fi channel you selected is no longer available, due to:
|
|
|
|
1. Your device doesn't support operating on this channel, or
|
|
2. There is some nearby Wi-Fi direct device that broadcasted that they can't operate on the channel you picked.
|
|
|
|
For maximum stability, you need to set channel = 0 so that your device will pick a channel automatically.
|
|
|
|
### [IPv6 tethering?](https://github.com/Mygod/VPNHotspot/issues/6)
|
|
|
|
### Missing `android.permission.MANAGE_USB` permission?
|
|
|
|
Toggling USB tethering only works if you install this app as a system app (`/system/priv-app`).
|
|
Alternatively, use the toggle in your system settings instead.
|
|
|
|
### No root?
|
|
|
|
Without root, you can only:
|
|
|
|
* View connected devices for system tethering and monitor them if your SELinux status is not enforcing
|
|
(otherwise you can still do manual refreshes);
|
|
* Toggle tether switches if you can't do it already;
|
|
* Play around with settings and the user interface in general;
|
|
* Alternatively you can use try these apps (requires manual proxy configuration or client apps) for normal repeater
|
|
tethering/bypassing tethering limits: (note: these apps are neither free nor open source)
