It’s my goddamn motherfucking mobile data and MY PHONE. I should be able to use it however I want. My wifi went down because the greedy, cunt-faced shitbags at Comcast stole taxpayer subsidies to enrich themselves instead of actually providing the service we’re paying for. I tried to switch to a mobile hotspot and my phone refuses to open one. Everyone responsible for this shit should be fed to alligators locked away in a fucking gulag. We have no rights and live in a corporate plutocracy.
Okay, so note that this script is over 8 years old now but if you google some of the lines or ask in a Linux / Android board they may be able to help you get this working if it doesn’t as-is:
So, connect to your vpn on your phone and activate hotspot. Before connecting to it simply type these lines into the terminal (Think I used to use the Terminal Emulator app). You’ll have to run the “su” command first to get root access:
iptables --flush iptables -t filter -F FORWARD iptables -t nat -F POSTROUTING iptables -t filter -A FORWARD -j ACCEPT iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -j MASQUERADEThat should be all you need… Unless something’s changed in later android versions. I saved the above as a .sh script so I didn’t have to copy-paste every line every time
