VPN Tether (share VPN connecti VPN Tether lets you share your VPN connection through a hotspot so all connected devices stay private on public Wi‑Fi. Configure static IP, gateway, and DNS if needed, with root access support.

VPN Tether (Share VPN Connection)

Meet VPN Tether — an app that lets you share your VPN connection via a Wi‑Fi hotspot. Once enabled, every device that joins your hotspot can browse through the same secure, private network. That means less worry about your personal information being exposed when you use public Wi‑Fi.

Important: Setup requires root access. Also, it may not work as-is on Android 9 unless you follow a few extra steps. If your client devices aren’t receiving the correct IP details automatically, you can fix it by assigning static IP addresses and setting the correct gateway and DNS manually. Stay protected—set it up today.

Key Features

• Share VPN Connections:

  Easily broadcast your VPN connection to other devices by using a hotspot.

• Use iptables or an HTTP Proxy:

  Choose between iptables or an HTTP proxy approach, depending on what fits your device and setup needs.

  

• Quick, Simple Setup:

  The app includes a straightforward setup flow so you can start tethering your VPN fast.

• No-Internet Fix (Client IP Issues):

  If the tethered device isn’t getting proper IP information from the VPN tethering host, the app lets you manually set static IP, gateway, and DNS values.

• Better Privacy & Security:

  By routing multiple devices through your VPN, you extend the same privacy and security protections to everyone connected to the hotspot.

User Tips

• Configure Static IP Addresses:

  If clients show no internet access, manually assign static IP settings on the client devices—specifically IP address, gateway, and DNS. This helps ensure correct network information and typically resolves the issue.

• Set Up iptables (Rooted Devices):

  To share the VPN over a hotspot on rooted devices, you may need to configure iptables. This ensures VPN traffic routes correctly so all connected devices benefit from the VPN.

• Adjust Default Gateway on Android 9:

  If the standard process fails on Android 9, find the hotspot’s current IP address and update the default gateway to that IP for every device connecting to your hotspot. This can restore working VPN tethering.

Summary

With VPN Tether (Share VPN Connection), sharing your VPN becomes much easier. Using either iptables or an HTTP proxy, the app helps distribute your VPN connection through a hotspot so all connected devices gain stronger privacy and security. Broad device compatibility supports smoother connectivity and better overall network performance.

If you run into connectivity problems, use the troubleshooting tips—such as setting static IP addresses and configuring iptables on rooted devices—to get things working reliably. Enjoy a safer, more optimized online experience across your devices.

Note (Android 9 / LineageOS 16)

On Android 9 (including LineageOS 16), the hotspot IP address is no longer fixed at 192.168.43.1. Instead, a new (seemingly random) IP is used each time the hotspot is turned on. As a result, the original procedure may stop working.

To make it work on Android 9, you must locate the hotspot’s current IP address and then set the default gateway to that same IP for all devices connecting to your hotspot.
