VPN Hotspot

Build Status API Releases Codacy Badge License

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 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 and Mac. I don't know about you but I can't get my stupid Windows 10 to work with hosted network now that they introduced this 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?

There's no IPv6 tethering in AOSP and I don't currently plan to support it either.

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 Adguard 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 (requires manual proxy configuration) for normal repeater tethering.
