So I have this running and it is working for me. I installed the 1.1.1.1 app and enabled it (disabling/ignoring "Warp" and "Warp+").

In VPN Hotspot, using the Wi-Fi configuration button in the top-right corner, I copied the settings from my original hotspot to the Repeater. Then I enabled the Repeater in VPN Hotspot and my PC was able to connect.

To revert to noob mode, though: What is the difference between VPN Hotspot's "Repeater" and its "Temporary Wi-Fi hotspot"? From reading the thread, it seems like the Repeater is about having the phone connect to an (upstream?) WAN on one band (5GHz) and share that connection on the other band (2.4GHz). But if that's the case I don't know why it's working for me because I'm not connected to a WAN on my phone, I'm just using mobile data.

Also, I see the "Manage system tethering" section of the app but I'm not clear if that's related to the VPN sharing or not. Is it possible to use this app for sharing via USB? If so maybe I could plug my phone into my Raspberry Pi when I get home to bridge my mobile data to the rest of the home.
[Android Apps and Games] Mygod Studio:
Temporary hotspot creates a new SSID every time you start it. Repeater allows you to share WiFi connections.

Manage system tethering part is just a shortcut to system setting. After you enable that, enable the new switch that appears in app to enable VPN tethering.
[Android Apps and Games] salvoza96:
If I share the vpn with "temporary hotspot" everything works perfectly, if I activate hotspot and then the button above to share the VPN, it doesn't work, what could be the problem?
[Android Apps and Games] S.Mayer:
Is it possible to (systemless-ly) modify the connection settings for clients connecting to the hotspot? I'm using Android 10.

It would be helpful if I could set a static IP address to assign to the client, among other things.

I only have one client connecting directly to the phone via USB tethering, but I'm using that client (a Raspberry Pi) as a bridge to the rest of my network. It works but I'm trying to troubleshoot issues when I try to go to a real VPN connection (instead of the 1.1.1.1 DNS redirect on the phone).

I found a Stack Exchange article talking about how Android up to Pie used dnsmasq, but one commenter claimed that stopped with 10/Q, and either way the methods used in that article modify /system.

[MENTION=5262972]salvoza96[/MENTION] : What do you mean by "it doesn't work"? Does the VPN Hotspot app not allow you to toggle the connection to on? Do your other devices not see the network? Can they connect but not access the internet? Where exactly does the process break down?

Hello everyone. I am facing a small issue. The app is working great in my red magic 5s (android 10). I have converted the app as system privileged as well. The issue is after creating the hotspot, the wlan switch of the app turn off it self after some hours. I have double check the settings: "turn off the hotspot when no devices are connected" is off. On "keep wifi alive" i have disabled power save. But still with the issue. Thanks for your help
[Android Apps and Games] ScrapMaker:
Just wanted to chime in that I have been running Android 11 proper for a months, with Magisk, and the app stopped working a few weeks ago. I just went into the Play Store to uninstall/re-install, and I noticed that there was an update pending. I have no idea for how long, or why it had not fired off yet, but I manually triggered it, and boom. The update list consisted of Android 11-specific changes, so that was probably what did it. Either way, I'm happy. Just pointing it out in case someone else experiences the same problem.
[Android Apps and Games] ScrapMaker:
Stopped working again. Not sure why. When this happens, the toggles don't work from my quicksetting menu, and the wifi hotspot button does nothing within the app.

Seems to fix it when I clear the app data/storage.
[Android Apps and Games] Mygod Studio:
Hi this bug is known and I am still investigating (it is hard for me to pin down the issue since it only happens very occasionally). If this ever happens, try to force stop the app and it should be working again.

hello,

i am running the app on xz1 compact. it as been working fine but just now for some reason when i try to activate repeater the toggle swtich moves to on postion but nothing happens. if i try to go into repeater settings it says 'no valid config found, please start repeater first". i have to force close the app and try turning repeater on again and same thing happens.

everything was working fine until now.

running the latest version.

tried clearing app cache.

anyone know why this happens?

[Android Apps and Games] n2music:
Had used VPN Tether for a long time but it appears it is no longer supported and since Android 11, it will no longer create a vpn hotspot. I have installed VPN Hotspot as it looks like it has ongoing development after Android 11. It does operate my phones hotspot however, just like VPN Tether, it is only turning on the hotspot, it is not using the VPN tunnel. I have NORDVPN so I know the VPN is good. Anyone have any ideas on why VPN Hotspot isn't working through VPN tunnel? I also tried to use Magisk systemize to make VPN Hotspot a system app but for some reason systemize does not see VPN Hotspot when it populates the available apps. Any ideas on that would be great too.

Samsung Note 10+ SM-N975U Android 11 January update unlocked & rooted with Magisk no TWRP.

Thanks

UPDATE: Well guess I figured it out, was using temp hotspot instead of just turning on hotspot then wlan0. Still not sure why I can't install VPN Hotspot as a system app though. Oh well ,as long as it works, that's what I needed.
[Android Apps and Games] Karlibri:
Btw I found a way how this works for me know, if I don't use the internal VPN app and I use e.g. VPNCilla, the app works :)

can i share my connected Wi-Fi with this app to other devices ?

i don't know the name of the function but i have a setting in note 8 as "Wifi Share" and it can stay connected to the wifi and also share it to other devices as hotspot

but whenever i start the hotspot in the app or the system, the wifi gets disconnected. i have nexus 7 2013 on android 11 rooted

what should i do
[Android Apps and Games] DontReuseUsernames:

Hi All, just wanna check I'm not doing smth stupid before posting logs but it doesnt work for me. I'm using express vpn on MIUI.eu 12. USB Tethered to windows 10 laptop. start vpn > start tethering > open vpn hotspot and flip the switch next to the new connection. Turned off hardware acceleration, no change. Anything simple I'm overlooking? cheers
[Android Apps and Games] Shihabus Sakib Rad:
I use Mobile hotspot to access Internet from my windows 10 laptop. Although there is built in option of "allow client to use VPN" in Bliss Rom [LineageOS], it doesn't work.

Until now, i was using PdaNet+ for Wi-Fi direct or Bluetooth tethering that allows my windows 10 to use my phone's VPN. PdaNet doesn't require root but requires a software to be installed on PC. So, whoever is in my situation and don't have root, can use PdaNet.

I came to know VPN Hotspot app from reddit and it is working great in Android 10. I don't know why i couldn't find this app earlier, Although i searched a lot in google. (literally, a lot) Thanks for this awesome app. @Mygod Studio

A couple weeks ago I noticed that when I enable "WiFi hotpot" an error pops up on the screen saying:

What are the 'dummy' vpns (adblock over vpn) that you tested with the app and worked? I have tested many and none of them work! Can you please give some hints? Thanks

github.com

Make sure acceleration is off, then turn on tethering and then flip the switch.

Try turning on hotspot from system settings.

You can use the monitor option in the top right of this app after Wi-Fi hotspot has started.
[Android Apps and Games] gullzway:
That seems to work when turning hotspot back on

What does leaving the wlan0 monitor ON do when hotspot is off?
[Android Apps and Games] Mygod Studio:
It keeps the app alive so that when the hotspot gets turned on, some magic will automagically happen.

[Android Apps and Games] gullzway:
Good to know. I'll make sure not to update my Moto Ace 5g to Android 11, that is if it even comes out.
[Android Apps and Games] ScrapMaker:
Unfortunately, no

Random fact: I'm running CalyxOS, and have tried LineageOS as well, and I can tether AT&T no problem. I guess that portion is tweaked in these AOSP-linked ROMS.
[Android Apps and Games] Mygod Studio:
On that note, tapping it again after Hotspot is on will toggle the wlan0 option for you.

The app has been tested with Android 11 and T-Mobile. Make sure you are using a proper VPN. https://github.com/Mygod/VPNHotspot/discussions/216

[Android Apps and Games] Thereplierbro:
I am in OnePlus 8 Pro T-Mobile. Have used this mod since it came out with the moto G6 and the pixel 3a xl. No issues. Now with the 8 Pro I never get solid connection to playstation network. Only get 50kbps compared to usually pulling 40mbps when on pixel.

I'm trying to find if the culprit is A11 stock rom (as another poster mentioned it worked on custom ROM Evolution X for me but the rom crashed and boot looped on me so I went back to stock root), if the culprit is the 5G phone, or if the culprit is the fact I was a Sprint user that got switched to T-Mobile and now need to implement new hacks.

Only for a split second did I achieve 2mbps last night with DNS 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 however, on Evolution it was 6mbps at least, and still pixel was 40 so 2mbps is unacceptable for online.

I read that systemize has been needed since A10 which makes sense since i was A8/9 before. On A11 systemize didn't see any apps. Had to download a tweaked systemize shared on XDA and then do the SE to finally see a list.

VPN hotspot is now systemized at the priv list. So hopefully that fixed something

Edit: Systemize definitely did something. After doing the DNS, systemize, and turning off VPN and turning data to 4g ( I heard 5g causes issues for online currently) I am now getting 4mbps with 100ms ping. So this is acceptable. Not the fastest but it's working great.
[Android Apps and Games] Vortell:
Hey I'm getting sap start failure general when i try to enable wifi hotspot any ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] Mygod Studio:
Was the log exported while things are not working? It seems fine to me.

Systemize should not be necessary on Android 11+. Did you disable hardware tethering acceleration and IPv6 tethering? Are you using it with a VPN app?

Use system settings to turn on hotspot instead.
[Android Apps and Games] Thereplierbro:
I did notice that I had disabled V6 but did not have hardware tethering disabled. It was never an issue before but now on this new phone it was what was the difference between failed connection to internet with 50kbps to successful connection with 6mbps. So seems like app is all working again.

Now my issue just seems to be with my phone not picking up great wireless speeds as the older ones for whatever reason 😅 6mbps download and 120ms ping in games with random 500-1000ms spikes. It's playable. Acceptable. Just not as good as old phone but it's not this apps fault.

[Android Apps and Games] fullydeveloped:
@Mygod Studio I have two questions related to your app and tethering restrictions, for clarity.

A simple TTL edit works with some providers for, at the very least, unblocking tethering. Now your app alone, with an interface selected obviously, appears to bypass Android's typical DHCP and DNS tethering services.

1. Does this or any other effects of VPN Hotspot alone (with no enabled vpn) improve tethering-restricted capabilities? Briefly, how? I understand you recommend a VPN, which is part of my next question.

You mention enabling a true VPN when using VPN Hotspot for mobile network tethering. Your comment in the github discussion about dummy VPNs says: "as long as your VPN service intercepts all traffic (and forwards it as normal traffic), it should be good".

2. What constitutes normal traffic? You mention Shadowsocks. The VPN firewall Netguard can filter dns requests with a hosts file. Is there a solution for either that would forward normal traffic, without using a 3rd party VPN or proxy (except for something simple like dns)?

Thank you for enlightening us.
[Android Apps and Games] Mygod Studio:
It seems your ROM does not support Wi-Fi direct. Use alternative modes (temporary/system hotspot), try different ROMs or try a different phone.

See here for a list of apps that you could use if you do not wish to use a full VPN: (including instructions for testing whether a certain VPN app should bypass tethering restrictions when used with this app) https://github.com/Mygod/VPNHotspot/discussions/216

What is the last version that will support changing the wifi channel, and will it work on Android 12? The latest version doesn't show that option. The phone always starts on Channel 11, I would like to change that to channel 1.

@Mygod Studio

Can you please have a look? No internet on client when vpn + wlan0

It can/may work when the system is fresh (just flashed OOS or when OOS rescue mechanism is triggered the system settings will reset to default or {new vpn that uses new interface like tun1, tun2, i guess})

Then after turn off and on hotspot / on and off airplane, it won't work anymore (need to try many many many times clear/reapply or other vpn hotspot bash script, even can spend few hours and get nothing)

But I realized if use network signal guru to switch mobile data band and quickly refresh on client (same page, example my ip page), it will display vpn ip may/not load finish the page, but definitely cannot go to other page (no internet, more like dns problem?)

Client already set ipv4 dns to 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4

Client can ping 8.8.8.8, google.com, but no internet in browser

Phone: OOS 4.5.2 (Nougat)

VPN Hotspot: 2.3.2 (Same results on every version)

Tried toggling the disable ipv6 and enable dhcp in app, setting upstream interface, no luck
[Android Apps and Games] Mygod Studio:
The latest version does support it, unless you're asking about temp hotspots in which case it was never supported. You can change it by clicking top right in the Tethering tab.

working excellent on rooted oneplus 8. Even better, with VPN hotspot on, tethering is hidden on t-mobile network even without VPN. I have done multiple back-to-back testing with plain tethering, tethering with VPN hotspot & VPN, tethering with VPN hotspot without VPN. wifi tethering and usb tethering. as long as hotspot is initiated by VPN hotspot app, t-mobile does not detect tethering usage at all. there is no slow down, at least to LTE speed of 50 Mb/sec that I get in home.

with the current $10/mo unlimited tablet plan from t-mobile, this is literally the best possible unlimited hotspot setup in foreseeable future. since using a regular phone/tablet, not a mobile hotspot router, no risk of being detected/shutdown by t-mobile. thanks for the app, and happily donated via google play.

used ip masquerade mode = simple and disable ipv6 tethering = on, tethering hardware acceleration = off. not sure if they mattered.

This app works for me when absolutely nothing else would. Such a simple idea, executed well. Well done sir, donation incoming. I can report the hotspot doesn't always route data through the fake VPN if I enable the hotspot first before the wlan monitoring is started; in that order. Once the monitoring is started, I can disable then reenable the hotspot and it works fine. Not sure if that is working as intended or not. Either way, very satisfied, thank you.

Edit: It didn't always do that so I tried wiping the app data (not reapplying routes, that didn't work) and now it works every time regardless of the order I enable the monitor/hotspot in. Might be user error, but also might be a bug. Hope that helps.

can someone teach me how to use this vpnhotspot app.

[Android Apps and Games] GivIn2It:
First of all, does your setup work with your phone's regular hotspot? if it does, this should work also.

Start and connect to your VPN (I use NordVPN)

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. It should have its normal name, except that now it's sharing your Phone's VPN. To turn the hotspot off, you will have to go to the phone's hotspot setting. Let us know how it"s going.
[Android Apps and Games] GivIn2It:

Simply install a proxy server app and then connect to that port.
