I have an "always-on" Wireguard tunnel/VPN set up on my phone to access my home's network and block ads with Pi-Hole. When I tried using a hotspot today for my Surface Pro, I was surprised it wasn't run through the tunnel as well. I had to disable the tunnel on my phone and then activate it on my Surface before I was able to access my home network.
Is this normal? is there anyway I can force Android's hotspot to use the tunnel on my phone? I'm wondering if maybe it has something to do with the hotspot using IPv6 rather IPv4, which the tunnel uses to assign IPs?
Thank you
Hi, anyone ?
Anyone?

Having an issue using the built-in VPN. I can set up a PPTP VPN and connect, however, once connected I have no internet (no data). As soon as I disconnect, I have data. Did some searching around the web and noticed it was a know issue on Android, but wondering if others on the TF have the same issue?
When using a VPN it uses the gateway on the remote network. If that network requires a proxy server you won't have an internet connection. There are apps out there that let you set proxy settings, but thankfully Google is finally included the options natively in the 3.1 update. What I would really like them to do though is allow you to use your local gateway instead.
I have no problems using AceVPN www.acevpn.com with my TF using the builtin vpn client. My HTC Inspire also works great on there.
What is the built in VPN client you are speaking of?
I am looking for a VPN client i can use to log into my work network - I assume it doesn't have to be the same client as on my laptop?
I am going on holidays and only taking the TF - I want to be able to VPN into my work network if needed. ON the face of it I don't see how it would work since even if I VPN in the network is MS based so not sure how an Android client works on a MS based network - since I am not remoting into a machine with Windows - just VPNing into the network......so once I am in then what?
So T-mobile is one of the most aggressive throttlers of hotspot usage out there. They basically utilize every single trick in the book to spy on your traffic and see if you are using hotspot.
User agent headers
TTL
Deep state packet
Basically the only way to get around this is to run a VPN from your phone that can tunnel traffic through the hotspot WLAN port so that any connected devices send their traffic through the VPN as a sort of proxy. Or you can use an app like PdaNet which masks all data by utilizing an endpoint client on your laptop to keep all the packet information originating from the phone.
I have tried everthing. I have root, i have edited build.prop, i have added every type of noprovisioning/DUN type command i can find through adb, I have installed magisk modules, I have edited windows TTL settings and used user agent spoofers to make it look like im browing on a mobile device.
Nothing.Ever.Works.
So I'm wonder if any of you have had any success getting unthrottled hotspot to work on t-mobile.
Dear community,
I see Android has established for its regular Wifi Hotspot to be casted on 192.168.43.0.24 , but all the Addresses are managed by a DHCP server which you have no control off.
I need to assign the IP addresses of the hosts connected statically , or at least the one for my Router (which is surprisingly changing as well).
I've seen some Apps give the functionality of Wifi tethering , but most of them they add no more functionalities than the standard Android one, and some (like Wifi Tether Roter)is paid one.
WiFi Tether Router - Apps on Google Play
Turn Your Phone / Tablet in a Free HotSpot Tethering

Is there any good recommendation of a similar to this app but for free?
Best Regards,
Hi Guys!!
I have a pihole on my network filtering ads and so on, but it seems my phone somehow connects with IPV6 and ads are not filtered.
How can I disable Ipv6 on Wifi only?
I'm on Arrow ROM now, without root, but I can activate it if needed.
I am trying to allow connection to and from local network 192.168.x.x but everything gets blocked once block connections without VPN is enabled even with the option to allow the local network to bypass VPN which I test and it works fine with block connections without VPN begin disabled
So, is there a way to allow connection to and from the local network (192.168.x.x) on Android 11 or higher while block connections without VPN is enabled with or without root?
Hey, have you found a way to exclude LAN from the blocking rule? I've been looking into it myself, but no luck.
The workaround I'm thinking about is configuring the VPN at router level for the whole network and turning the kill switch off on Android, but that's obviously not how I'd like it done.
