Hello,
Has anyone been able to use USB tethering while connected to a L2TP or a OpenVPN VPN? Tethering seems to connect fine to my computer, but I can't get any internet access flowing....even though I can browse from my phone just fine during all of this.

I'm using CM7 stable (7.0.3) with a Nexus One.
When I enable the hotspot feature without having the phone connected to my openvpn server, my laptop (connected to the hotspot) connects to the web fine. The phone's internet connection works fine as well.
But when I enable the feature while connected to the openvpn server, even though the internet works on the phone, my laptop connects to the hotspot but cannot send/receive any data. I can ping my phone from my laptop, but pings go unanswered for example to google.com or 8.8.8.8...
Does anyone have any idea what's going on here, how I can troubleshoot or how I can fix the problem?
PS. I'd like to have the phone connected to my openvpn server rather than my laptop while using the hotspot as the laptop's openvpn connection is unstable when using the phone's hotspot (I do't know why).
Thanks!
I think the problem is the Gateway used by the laptop to connect to the internet. When you activate the hotspot the laptop will use to connect to the internet as gateway the ip provided by 3G. When you activate the VPN the gateway is changed but the laptop can't tell that and it uses the wrong IP address.
Hi,
I need to tether my phone's wifi connection via USB. When I tether my 3g communication everything goes well, but if I connect to wifi and try to tether it, my phone does not tether it.
I am currently using a HTC Hero (2.3.3). Any solution suggestions?
Regards
note: I have to tether my connection via USB. It is a must for me.
Hi ,
I need to use my vpn on my labtop but , whenever I am connected via usb tether or wifi hotspot I am unable to connect to vpn is there any solution for this ?
Thank you
just wondering if you can do this or if usb tethering is more like a bridge mode and just transfers the signal
So i have a pretty complicated network setup right now due to my normal home internet dying and technicians never coming to fix it, so i'm now using my phone on 4G, use the wifi hotspot on that phone, go downstairs, use another phone to connect to that hotspot and use usb tethering to get internet on my pc.
The issue right now is that i can't seem to be able to communicate with my desktop pc (connected by usb tether) with my laptop (connected on wifi hotspot)
any idea on what software i could use to fix that?
