Can I create a hotspot that uses the VPN connection from an Android phone?

VPN

Hello,

I’ve tried creating a mobile hotspot while the Mullvad VPN app is connected and I noticed that the laptop connected to my hotspot has a normal IP (non-Mullvad).

I cannot install the Mullvad VPN on the laptop that is connected to the hotspot as I don’t have admin rights. Is there a possible workaround here?

Only if the phone is rooted:

P.S.
It’s pretty easy to get admin rights on any device you have physical access to :wink:

Thanks, unfortunately the phone I’m using has CalyxOS so root access is out of the question. So there’s no way of doing it without root access :frowning:

Regarding the other thing, it’s a Windows 11 laptop I have from work so I’m not sure if there’s any workaround for the admin rights.

I really want to get this on stock android with no root but i don’t know how to. I tried to search online for solutions but still nothing. Does anyone know how to enable that feature even with adb on stock android?

Well I think they ported this feature into the OS.

Should be under hotspot settings.

I didn’t know that. Thanks!
