I tried that but no success. I have decided to go another way to get my multiple connections going. I'm using your app's usb tethering. But no way can I get it to share NordVPN. It shares the usb just not the VPN, and yes, I flip the toggle when it appears. I wonder if another version of the program will do it. As of now I have to run Nord on the computer, as well as on the Pixel 6 Pro to protect it. By the way, your hotspot works perfectly for sharing Nord, It just doesn't fit into my current scheme with 3 connections.

Is there any way your app can support vpn sharing over ethernet for android?
[Android Apps and Games] Mygod Studio:
Already supported.
[Android Apps and Games] pf100:
Thank you so much. Your instructions worked great. I answered to add a note that on my phone, after starting the VPN (Ivacy, in my case), and doing the steps you outlined, you said "a selection called ap_br_wlan2 will appear right above the Wi-fi hotspot setting, toggle that on." On my phone it was "wlan1" but everything else was the same. Thanks again.

Repeater and USB Tethering works great here (T-Mobile LG Velvet & OnePlus N200), but Ethernet Tethering. It shows as Unidentified Network and internet doesn't work at all on my pc. Any solutions?
[Android Apps and Games] Mygod Studio:
Make sure it is supported by your ROM first. This app only aims to extend VPN tethering to existing functionalities.

Hi friends

I have installed this app on my Raspberry PI4 (RP4) and device is rooted (Android 11). this app works with my TV/ Phones(IOS/android) / laptop flawlessly (i.e. sharing VPN based internet connection).

However Google Chromecast does not connect to internet when wlan0 is ON

View attachment 5691935

so everytime, when I want to connect my chromecast here, i have to disable wlan0 and then manually connect chromcast to the RP4's hotspot, otherwise chromecast sasys "NO internet" or "Limited Connection".

My settings screen is shared here for better explanation of problem

[Android Apps and Games] wenyendev:
Thanks for the app!

Does it support Android 4.3 (Samsung Note 2)?

Is ROOT compulsory for the device where this magic app is installed, to get its VPN shared?

Thanks!

Is it possible to auto tether when usb connected (in tethering mode)?

if it's not can u add that feature as an option?
[Android Apps and Games] Mygod Studio:
Try changing upstream interface and fallback interface to default, and then post screenshot of current upstream?

No. As for no root: https://github.com/Mygod/VPNHotspot/issues/62

You should be able to do it with some other app I believe.
[Android Apps and Games] anilw:

Hello developer,

When I'm using the app as a vpn repeater, I counter an issue with obtaining IP address even though the "DHCP workaround" is enabled.

Device is: Samsung SM-J200F [rooted]

Android 5.1

App version: 2.15.2

Bug: when the screen of the phone is off and the repeater is on [j2 rooted], it tether the WiFi just fine but IP can't be obtained.

The moment I turn on the screen on [j2], at this moment other devices can obtain the IP and connect.

Can you solve this problem because I didn't find any solution. I don't want to grab the phone each time, turn the screen on, then connect. I am using it just as a repeater
[Android Apps and Games] dDoctar:
Thank you so much for this useful mod. I used TetherMe to achieve similar behaviour on my iPhone and was skeptical to switch to android not knowing if this could be possible. It works as advertised. Please dont give up on this project. Well done
[Android Apps and Games] cgi2099:
How are ya'll getting this to work with the NordVPN app? I have followed the above direction and cannot get internet to pass to other devices. I am on Android 13 with the Pixel Pro 7, rooted, etc...
[Android Apps and Games] GivIn2It:
Did you disable Tethering Hardware Acceleration under Developer Options? That needs to be done.
[Android Apps and Games] cgi2099:
Yes that is off :/
[Android Apps and Games] GivIn2It:
I've had trouble getting this app to work in some scenarios, mainly with Pixel 6 Pro using usb tethering. Wifi worked fairly well, but was finicky sometimes, requiring frequent resets of the app and the VPN. What are you trying to use? If you want to keep trying with this program, and you're using wifi, try changing your radio settings in the app and your pc. The app is very customizable concerning wifi bands and channels. I gave up on that app and am now using Net Share (paid) from google play. It is fairly reliable sharing Nord VPN, but it does use a proxy server, and will only run with location permission and you can't use always on vpn. It works for me as I have 2 internet connections and by proxying both I run one on each browser, handy for bandwidth.
[Android Apps and Games] ReikuzoSennin:
wow I tried using other apps to automate this, but it looks like you already implemented this feature. Cant believe I never saw that feature before. Simply an incredible program

Hello everyone,

I have a rooted Pixel 7, I have granted access to the VPN hotspot app from magisk, but the app keeps freezing, not being able to click on any toggle buttons...Anyone have this problem, what could be the issue. Tried hard reset the phone, tried to uninstall and install the app again, nothing works...
[Android Apps and Games] awtompson:
Can this app be called from Tasker or Macrodriod to toggle a hotspot?
[Android Apps and Games] ReikuzoSennin:
you can toggle monitoring if you want this to activate on hotspot activate
[Android Apps and Games] awtompson:
I want the hotspot to turn on when bluetooth connects to my car's head unit. Macrodroid and Tasker can't toggle the hotspot on and off since Andoid 11.

Hi everyone, i have my root realme 2 installed vpn hostpot and also make it /system/app. But when i try to share, the other devices only connect to wifi hostpot, not the wlan0 though I have already turned both wifi hostpot and wlan 0 on.

[Android Apps and Games] Laos101:
Hi, just want to ensure I'm configuring my settings correctly to avoid any ipv6 leakage and ensure all traffic passes through the VPN:

1) Set up hotspot + VPN

2) upstreams: tun0 and failback tun0

3) IP masquerade: Simple

4) disable ipv6 tethering: checked

5) tethering hardware acceleration: unchecked

6) Enable DHCP workaround: checked

7) Keep Wi-Fi Alive: Disable power save

8) Wi-Fi Hotpsot: Checked

9) ap_br_wlan2: Checked (what does this do exactly?)

I see my ipv4 VPN ip passing through to my other device, so it looks like success to me, but just sharing my steps in case anyone can explain something I'm doing wrong/incorrectly for optimal performance.

Other observations:

- The "eye" on the top right - is this for network monitoring?

- "Repeater" is to share Wi-Fi connection over hotspot, correct?

Thanks for being so responsive over the years about your tool.
[Android Apps and Games] Mygod Studio:
The ap_br_wlan2 switch is for turning on VPN tethering.

Eye is for auto turn on service when tethering is enabled.

Correct re Repeater.
[Android Apps and Games] rmedure:
Hi all. First, great app!! Question, when I add this app's tile to my quick settings, it does not stay after reboot.

I do not have this issue with other tiles. Is there something wrong with this app's tiles?

Thanks,
[Android Apps and Games] Mygod Studio:
Couldn't reproduce here.
[Android Apps and Games] zrzhu:
I couldn't get hotspot/wifi work on pixel 6. My computer can connect to the hotspot, but just don't have internet. Anything else you do different than @GivIn2It provided below. I'm using Proton VPN if that matters.

Open the VPNHotspot app

at the bottom of the app, select settings. This settings part only has to be done once.

Under Downstream, turn on Disable IPv6 Tehering

turn of Tethering hardware acceleration

Keep Wi-Fi alive: Disable power save

Repeater safe mode: on

Network status monitor mode: Poll with root

now select the Tethering tab at the bottom of the page

Turn on the Wi-Fi hotspot (Not the Temporary one)

afer that connects, a selection called ap_br_wlan2 will appear right above the Wi-fi hotspot setting, toggle that on.

Connect your network devices to the phones hotspot.
[Android Apps and Games] GivIn2It:
More things to try: Uninstall the VPN and VPN Hotspot.. Do a network reset on your phone. Reinstall proton and VPN Hotspot.

Make sure the radio settings in VPN Hotspot MATCH your phone's wifi output, 2.4, 5, or 6ghz.

If it still doesn't work, or you want toskip that step, Install this from Google play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.github.welldomax.proxyserver After you configure the proxy server program, enter its settings in the browser you want to run, you should now have internet. Whenever your phone dies or reboots, you will have to check to see if the proxy server is running, and if its numbers have changed. if so, re enter the proxy numbers into the browser. Alternatively you can use your computers global proxy settings, then your whole computer will use the proxy. There are some advantages to running a proxy server, the main one is it allows you to use multiple internet connections on one computer. Your connection WILL occasionally fail, first check if your proxy has shut off, then check your VPN Hotspot. I would start the programs in this order: first, start VPN, then VPN share, then the proxy. The Proxy wont give you the 192.168 IP prefix until it sees a hotspot connection, although the it will give you other numbers. Please don't turn on VPN share's vpn sharing, the proxy shares the VPN. VPN share is just handling hotspot duties. Verify this after connection by visiting your VPN's tattle tail page. If this does or doesn't work, post back. Gremlin Warning: sometimes nothing you do will work until you reboot both devices, because they have misconfigured themselves.
[Android Apps and Games] zrzhu:
Thanks. First question: Where can I find the radio setting in the VPN hotspot? I want to try it first before going thru all other steps.
[Android Apps and Games] GivIn2It:
Upper right, click wifi icon, click Wi-Fi Hotspot, scroll down, you will see the AP Band choices.
[Android Apps and Games] GivIn2It:
If you get your settings right the VPN Hotspot will handle all duties with no additional apps, you only need to run the proxy if you want it's functionality. OR if something else in your setup is broken. I have woken to a dead connection many times, a reboot of both devices generally solves it. Another variable is your VPN. Have you tried the hotspot without it? Nord VPN works well with VPN Hotspot. You actually got me using this app again. I see the developer has been working on the app since I last used it, and has improved it a lot. If you get it running, he deserves some support. I sent him some money, that's rare for me but this is worth it. I'm running VPN Hotspot now on my P7pro using ethernet tethering, Just now swiched to it and turned off the proxy. Running perfect, sharing VPN.
[Android Apps and Games] zrzhu:
Thanks, @GivIn2It I uninstalled and reinstall VPN Hotspot and used Windscribe VPN. It's still the same issue, my computer can connect to the hotspot, but it says no internet.

I gave it up for now. I'm using Pdanet+ and will try again when there's an updated version.
[Android Apps and Games] GivIn2It:
OK I understand zrzhu's plight. And I have a question for the community: Why the hell does this happen?: Your Computer connects to the Hotspot, but no internet. This is so pissingly frustrating, and there are no reliable ways to diagnose it. I've faced this plenty, the **** (hard and software) gets confused and won't work. It even happens with a normal, legit connection, and usually when your about to leave for an important appointment at which your going to need the information you are trying to look up. Next morning you wake up to the fastest, most reliable connection you've ever had. Totally intermittent, like someone on the other end is ****ing with you
[Android Apps and Games] Mygod Studio:
Tested and working for me. Uninstall all your other VPN sharing apps and reboot and try again.
[Android Apps and Games] zrzhu:
Thanks for commenting on this, @Mygod Studio I don't have any other VPN sharing apps installed on my phone.
[Android Apps and Games] Mygod Studio:
Can you see connected clients?
[Android Apps and Games] zrzhu:
see I can see the connected clients.
[Android Apps and Games] Mygod Studio:
Try to turn on VPN tethering and connect clients and then export debug information and send it to me.
[Android Apps and Games] zrzhu:
I had to reset my phone. Will try again soon and provide the debug info if it still doesn't work.
[Android Apps and Games] amn1987:
Started using this app for the first time and it worked well. However it seems if the app is no longer in the foreground VPN sharing is stopped? Under hotspot settings the "Allow clients to use VPNs" option also disappears.

[Android Apps and Games] rmedure:
Is it normal for VPN Hotspot to request SU everytime I wake up the phone? even while a hotspot is not enabled?

Same here on my rooted Pixel 6 Pro Android 14 on T-Mobile.

I've tried my Windscibe VPN, AdGuard, Blokada 4.4.

Also tried Magisk modules T-Mobile Unlimited Tethering and Tether Unblock.

Also getting throttled with PDANet+ on Wifi Hotspot. Netshare, I get No Internet.

Edit: Flashed back to Android 13 then installed LineageOS and rooted. Not throttled now if I turn on Windscribe/Adguard then VPNhotspot.
[Android Apps and Games] MetroWestMA:
Something has definitely changed on Pixel Android 14 / T-Mobile. I am now on the Jan Update on P7P. The IP address reported by whatismyipaddress.com from browser on phone vs. browser on tethered is different (it always used to be the same when you turned on the bypass above the main WiFi Hotspot toggle, even w/o a VPN connected).

Yet if you do connect to an open VPN, it routes traffic correctly over the VPN.

Also, somewhat odd, is that the IP address is different than the phone's, or the normal tethered IP address, so maybe T-Mobile is doing this based on the origin IP6 address somehow?

If it matters I also use the TTL kernel patch that modifies the kernel to no longer decrease TTL, so I am not sure they will detect the tethering?
[Android Apps and Games] MetroWestMA:
For those that are getting Throttled on T-Mobile (I am not, but I may not be over the tethering Threshold this month), are you making sure your TTL is not tipping T-Mobile off to your tethering? Because they have been throttling based on TTL for a while now...
[Android Apps and Games] MIKE0001:
I am running on a rooted custom ROM Android 8.1 and this app is great. I do have a question that would make this app even better for my purposes. Normally you cannot rename the WiFi direct network and pass phrase and this app successfully does it. I would like to null tyhwe pass phrase field so I can run my WiFi direct without a password. On a normal hotspot you can turn the WPA security off but I can't do that with WiFi direct. Does anyone have any ideas. A nodded version of this app which took away the 8 character minimum for a WiFi direct password would be great. Ifmi manually edit the /data/misc/wifi/p2p_supplicant.conf file and change the netwol name or null the pass phrase out and start the WiFi direct services then it reverta back to the android generated name and password. Again this VPN Hotspot successfully changes the name and password but I need (for my purposes) the WiFi direct pass phrase open.

Thanks for any help. Again this is a awesome app.
[Android Apps and Games] NRG-ONE:
this application is great, but since I updated it to v2.17.7, my connected pc, continuously loses connection despite being connected to wi-fi network and it becomes impossible to surf... It works only intermittently...

I have tried reinstalling it several times on my samsung A52 4g with android 13, but the problem persists....

So the last version that works for me without this problem remains v2.16.11
[Android Apps and Games] pf100:
I have to manually set dns servers on the clients (8.8.8.8 or 94.140.14.14, etc.) to get internet ever since safelink switched me to a plan where hotspot isn't allowed, but the hotspot works so that's fine with me.
[Android Apps and Games] Mygod Studio:
Please export debug information.

version 2.17 seems to give me the problem when the phone goes into stand with the lock screen after a while but I'm not sure... I know that when I unlock the lock screen I go in with the lock pin the navigation resumes working sometimes

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GjcPmAn87M6Yo9w8TZPyzWv2gpCk1PvX/view?usp=sharing
[Android Apps and Games] Mygod Studio:
Thanks. Sounds like the system is for some reason disabling this app which is now responsible for serving DNS since v2.17. Disabling battery optimization might fix it.

Manually setting DNS on clients as pf100 suggests should also get around the issue.

Everything looks mostly fine in your logs. Do you have this file on your file system? /apex/com.android.tethering/javalib/service-connectivity.jar
[Android Apps and Games] NRG-ONE:
Thank you it seems to be working now.... But at this point I wonder... in my case is it better to keep using the old version 2.16.11 with battery optimization or this latest version 2.17 without battery optimization!!!?

Could there be differences in consumption and would it be better for me to stay with the old version!!!? Are there any technical reasons such that I should prefer 2.17 and make a difference with 2.16 even if I have to remove the battery optimization?
[Android Apps and Games] Mygod Studio:
v2.17 is more consistent. Battery consumption is going to be dominated by tethering and there is probably no noticeable difference unless 99% of your traffic is DNS.
[Android Apps and Games] pf100:
No, the only files in that folder are 'framework-tethering.jar' and 'terminal_systemizer_v17.4.1.zip'
[Android Apps and Games] Mygod Studio:
Well that zip file should definitely not be there so that's funny. Are you using a custom ROM?
[Android Apps and Games] pf100:
It's stock android 11 on a pixel. I systemized the hotspot app with systemizer app with magisk.

@Mygod Studio Hi, as a valuable user of this app for maybe 8 years, it is sad to report that I will not be rooting my phone for the first time in 15 years.

Google decided to put a server side check on RCS. It's extremely disappointing, but I came here to say thanks for the support of this app and giving the finger to ALL ISPs wanting to know what you are downloading to nickel and dime you.

{Mod edit: Inappropriate language removed. Oswald Boelcke, Senior Moderator}
[Android Apps and Games] EngineerMind:
Are you saying that Google is doing a root check and preventing RCS from working if the device is rooted?
[Android Apps and Games] rester555:
Yes, through Google Play services Google is doing an integrity check that is in there developer options in Google Play store. Currently three rooting methods are popular on pixel devices. One is magisk in various forms, the second is apatch, and the third is kernelsu. All of them allow a person to root.

There are two forms of fingerprint spoofing that are being used to spoof the fingerprint. When Google does a server side check on RCS. One is called playing integrity fix by chiteroman. The other is called Play integrity fork by osmosis. Both are great developers. They have found multiple ways to inject the fingerprint spoofing. But Google is fixing them within days to a month. There are four forms of integrity. Basic integrity, device integrity, strong integrity, and virtual integrity. It seems that you need basic and device integrity for the server side check to allow RCS as well as a valid fingerprint. The fingerprint can be spoofed through a tool called key box which is an XML file, but it seems like Google caught on to that as well.

There are private keys that people are using in a key dump of older devices to spoof the detection, but the keys are starting to dwindle because Google is finding them and then blacklisting them
[Android Apps and Games] EngineerMind:
Thank you for that detailed response.

Just being curious.... if you turned off "Enable Chat features" in Messages (which will then use the default SMS/MMS method and NOT RCS for messages), will that allow Google messages to work on a rooted device?
