On my phone I connect to a VPN connection, this woks great on the phone but when I tether to my iPad the iPad's traffic will not be ran through the VPN. (I would have to manually connect to the VPN on my iPad)
Is there a way to make tethered internet route through the devices VPN connection?
Thanks.
Technically, it's possible but it might depends on the VPN client you use.
In my case, F-Secure Freedome (a VPN client) is running on my Note 2. I have Note 2 tethered to an Ubuntu machine and an Android tablet. My tablet and laptop post a Germany IP address, while I am on the other side of the ocean.
Make sure that your data plan allows tethering.
Make sure that you are on the cell network. However, USB tether to Wifi VPN on the phone works a bit better. I keep my connection dropped when going all over over the air.
Depending on your flavor of Android your mileage may vary
Note 2 and the tablet are running 4.4 (CM 11 nightlies), Ubuntu is on 14.04.

Posted here, since I believe this is a general and not device specific issue.
So, I have set up a VPN server on OSX Lion Server edition.
It is using l2tp with preshared key and username/password for login.
i(beep) works fine and connects. Laptop works fine and can connect.
But...
1. When Iam on local network (same IP segment) I can connect using Android native l2tp VPN connection setup with PSK and user/pass.
2. When I try to connect from external (3G or other WiFi net) I am unable to connect.
3. When I enabe native tether on Android device, and connect i(beep) to the Android AP, I still am able to connect from i(beep).
These three steps tells me it is not a carrier issue, and possibly an Android issue.
Did anyone experience this (and even better.....did you find a solution)?
Kinda like the l2tp connection for security, and also Lion natively does not supply pptp connection.

I am trying to do the same thing, I havent got the VPN to function yet though but I think its a router issue among other things. I bought a domain name and I am using that with dyndns to help simplify the ip change issues... I am getting a new router to test here next week so hopefully I'll have a better idea.
However now I am worried I'll run into the same issue as you!! lol... Its been a while since you posted, have you found a solution yet?
No. Didn't find a solution, but you might be correct in assuming its a router issue. Have a Netgear myself, and those have had quite a few issues.

I ended up getting a new Airport and it has pretty cool setup integration with the Server / Airport Utility, however I still cannot connect with the VPN connection.
My initial reason to set this up was to use PLEX... AND this actually works very well if I setup my connection through the PLEX connection settings.. but I still can't get it to work with the Android VPN setup.... (tested 3G and WiFi)
..also I cannot get the VPN to work with a Windows PC... tested a Mac (hackintosh) and it worked instantly...
so I think its a Mac thing maybe... Since PLEX is working... I am happy but would still like to get the VPN connection working properly. I suspect I'll need to call Apple about it though
I am also have a similar issue.
OSX Server running 10.6.8
L2TP VPN and PPTP services running
My iPhone and laptop can connect just fine. My HTC One X and HP Touchpad (CM9) can not. Both say the address can not be resolved. The server is sitting in the DMZ and if I enable the web server both devices can resolve to the default welcome page just fine.
1. It isn't a DNS issues since they can connect via the web
2. It isn't a port issue since other clients can connect
Is there some dumb setting i am missing in the VPN setup?
Thanks

OSX Lion Server L2TP VPN and ICS not working
Hey guys.. I got PPTP to work to OSX Lion Server by making sure PPTP, L2TP, and IPSec forwarding were enabled through my router.
Also, make sure to check the VPN logs in /var/log/ppp/vpnd.log to see why it's not connecting..
Hi,
I'm using MyWi on my iPhone 4 to create a WiFi hotspot and tether both my laptop and my Galaxy Tab. The purpose is just to run a VNC server then on the iPhone and the tablet and a VNC client on the laptop in order to be able to display the screens of the mobile devices to the laptop and make mobile applications demos.
All the three devices look to share the same network via WiFi (their IP address is the same range, the one set in MyWi). But even if I can run the VNC server on the tablet and see the IP address and port on which I should connect the VNC client to, I cannot connect to the VNC server on the tablet from the laptop. I cannot even ping the tablet whereas I can ping the iPhone and connect via VNC.
Everything works fine if I make the iPhone, tablet and laptop join my home WiFi network. The issue would be therefore related to the tethering...
Anything I should do on the tablet in the context of tethering? In MyWi or on the iPhone that shares the WiFi connection maybe?
Thank you for your help.
I use Android's native PPTP VPN connection to manage computers at my office or at my home if I need to do something when I'm not physically present.. If my phone is connected to the VPN however, and I tether my internet connection to my tablet, I can't seem to get access unless I make a second VPN connection from my tablet.
Does anybody know how to share VPN access to tethered devices? I'm sure its possible, just not sure how to make it happen...
possible solution see cross-link
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33749904&postcount=10
And why are you trying to do that?
I haven't tested vpn "sharing" , but it is simple to vpn with the tethered device to the vpn server. Wifi tether passes the vpn traffic fine.
I will poke around with it sometime.

Hello friends,
I've been researching how to fix my problem for a few days and I'm in dire need of some direction. I am getting quite frustrated. So I have my phone tethered to an older laptop via usb pdanet+ and everything is working fine. But what I want to do is broadcast that connection through a wireless router and connect my other devices that way. I know of wifi tethering on android and connectify for laptop but I do not want to go that route. What is it I need to do? I've tried using windows internet sharing through ethernet and disabling dhcp. Running out of ideas...
A couple of options...
1. Hosted Network Starter
Free: Simple hostpot with non configurable DHCP

2. Connectify
Paid: Full featured hotspot with static DHCP feature

Just got easy tether on my n200 today, i plan on tethering it to my linux pc and setting up a wireless access point on that pc, through which all my devices will connect to the internet.
On my old Galaxy Note 3, I was able to do this easily, as I could simply use the regular tethering option then create a hotspot connection on linux. I could get faster speeds just by changing the TTL to 65 on the tethered pc. On these newer phones, however, it's much harder to bypass carrier tether throttling, so I have to use easy tether instead.
I'm not 100% sure how it works, but its different from regular usb tethering, as a result i'm unable to create the standard hotspot connection in linux. Also tried sharing internet on Windows, but it says that I'm not connected to the internet. Any ideas on how to do this?

why dont you just setup easy tether on your router using Openwrt compatible router? or get a compatible router?
go to amazon and lookin to the
GL.iNet GL-MT300N-V2(Mango)its only about $30 router that has ddwrt and here are instructions:
