Connecting things to your VPN made simple. Share your VPN connection over hotspot or repeater. (**root required**)
|

|
|
|
|
This app is useful for:
|
|
|
|
* Connecting things that don't support VPN like Chromecasts behind corporate firewalls;
|
|
* Set up [gapps](https://support.google.com/pixelphone/answer/7158475) behind corporate firewalls;
|
|
* Connect to your mobile hotspot but you're not bothered to set up VPN on your device.
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
### Edit network name and/or password for repeater?
|
|
|
|
These are generated by Android system and can't be specified manually for now.
|
|
You can however request a credential reset using the button in this app.
|
|
|
|
### Connect a 2.4GHz-only device to a 5GHz repeater?
|
|
|
|
You'll have to use WPS for now to make the repeater switch to 2.4GHz.
|
|
|
|
### [IPv6 tethering?](https://github.com/Mygod/VPNHotspot/issues/6)
|
|
|
|
### Start repeater without VPN?
|
|
|
|
This app is designed for VPN interface as upstreams to simplify handling of connection change and NAT issues.
|
|
You could use stub VPN apps like [Blokada](https://github.com/blokadaorg/blokada) together with this app as a workaround.
|
|
|
|
### 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);
|
|
* Play around with settings;
|
|
* Alternatively you can use [NetShare-no-root-tethering](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=kha.prog.mikrotik)
|
|
(requires manual proxy configuration) for normal repeater tethering.
