Wi-Fi hotspot and VPN - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'd like to use my phone tho share my 3G/4G internet connection but behind a VPN server. If I set a VPN service on my phone it works without problem but if I try to enable wifi hotspot and I try to connect a device it doesn't work.
Is there a way to connect a device via my phone hotspot connected to a VPN?
My phone is rooted.

No solutions?

If you're using connectify so try it to restart this app and start hotspot again..sometime I had have same problem..
if you are using avast antivirus then avast blocks the connection sharing by default...

did you set your device to discoverable?
well BT Tether is also used to share a network basically. just like wifi tether or usb tether.
configure your hotspot, set device to discoverable and pair other device to it.

[Q] Google account sign in

Hey everybody. So i had my bootloader unlocked and the phone deleted everything like i had it repaired through sony companion. I work with ethernet and there are no accesible WiFi networks near me so i connect my phone to the internet via USB cable. When i try to open google play it asks for google account,so i choose enter an existing email and it forces my phone to enter a wifi network! Does anyone know how can i bypass it? Thanks (XPERIA P)

Maybe you are going wrong with the connect phone to internet via USB cable as doing that would allow you to connect to internet on your computer using your mobile data services (which is also called USB Tethering) and not the other way round (this means Reverse Tether).
Which is why your phone keeps asking you to connect to a wifi network.
In this case, you can do 2 things.
1) (Preferred Method) just enable your mobiles data service to let it connect to internet then it won't ask for connecting to a wifi network.
2) (Not so Preferred) you can google for a software to let you reverse Tether your computer net connection to your mobile and connect to mobile.

Uhm sorry i didnt make it clear. I am using reverse tethering when i mean via USB cable but again it asks for entering a wifi net!
broadcast your internet connection from your PC using "Connectify-me" as a WiFi connection, just give a try !
because i doubt whether its uses a Ad-Hoc network, been a while since i used it that way.

[Q] Cannot use work VPN when tethered to S4

I noticed recently that I cannot connect to any VPNs from any device connected to my S4 through wireless tether. This has probably been a problem, I just have not needed to use it. I am not using any third party software for tethering, but I am using HyperDrive ROM.
I CAN connect to my home PPTP VPN from my phone, but connecting to the same VPN through a computer or tablet tethered to that phone fails. I also tried connecting two different laptops to my work VPN (SonicWall SSLVPN) and in both cases it says it cant reach the host. I did verify the host was available and I can even ping it and even connected to the VPN through my home wireless.
Is there a VPN pass through option I am missing somewhere?

I have the same but it just started happening on 8/9. I've been using my work VPN for over a month and now its just either disconnects after a few seconds or can't connect.

Question Share my wifi connection through wifi? (have root)

Is there a way to connect my phone to wifi. Then share that connection through wifi? Maybe an external wifi adapter?
The other phones are iOS so they have to connect to a wifi.
Wouldn't you just connect to whatever WiFi network with the phone as per usual, then create a mobile hotspot in network settings to enable other devices to connect ? (or even use Bluetooth tethering)

Just use the mobile hotspot feature while you're connected to a wifi

I mean....why? If the phone that needs to use your phone's connection is in near your phone...why waste you time and battery sharing a WiFi connection when you could simply connect both phones to the WiFi directly?

I actually ha situation in my life when I really needed this feature, to extend wifi range. Can be useful, and some time ago you needed third party app requiring weird permission or root

In many cases when travelling you get One single wifi login. Would be nice to share it with the family, on a plane or in a hotel.
