For some time now many people have to ask how they can share their VPN connection with others device found on their network, this article is for you to read the post till the end am sure you get a solution for your unshareable VPN connection. Normally in In the past, we could not share VPN connection to others device but thanks to the advancement of the TECH WORLD some application has made it possible to do the shearing with one click. In this post, we use an application called VPN HOTSPOT which we can get from the play store, this application is so easy to use and don’t require hi-tech to make the app function well

WHY CAN’T WE SHARE VPN CONNECTION USING NORMAL HOTSPOT?

This is what happens when we try to share our VPN internet to other device and this  is what happened when your VPN is connected, the internet we try to share is established but internet service won’t be available to the other host on the same network because the VPN is channeling the internet to your device using an internet protocol address (IP Address) so the hotspot in your smartphone share only the connection without internet service. Your other host device need to connector update their connection to the IP address from the VPN your main host is using. This when VPN HOTSPOT application come ins to help you share the connection with the IP ADDRESS which the VPN is using to share the internet with another host on the same network.

FEATURES OF VPN HOTSPOT

This application has three main sections which is all useful fo someone who can understand how it function follow the bellow quid and you be happy having this application is a VPN internet sheerer.

TETHERING.

This particular section is the first and most important section of them all it is in this section that you have to enable the sharing option.

·         Repeater:  this option can help in regenerating your internet signal over long distances especially when you are on a direct hotspot with no VPN sharing meaning this option does not work when you are using VPN to get your connection reason is because it works with only a p2p network on a direct Wi-Fi connection.

·         Wi-Fi hotspot: with this option, you won’t need to go to setting to enable Wi-Fi hotspot or tethering in your phone setting once you click on it open or takes you direct to the immediate page in the setting where you will on your hotspot.

·         USB tethering: with this other option we can also share our connection simply by connection our smartphone to our pc using a USB cable to establish the connection just going to setting and enabling USB tethering and follow your onscreen wizards to complete and established your internet connection.

·         Bluetooth tethering: Bluetooth tethering is another option that we can use to share to share our internet connection to another host device. This is done by just pairing with your other device for the connection to go through.

·          Wi-Fi hotspot (legacy): once you activate this option to the right it will automatically activate the mobile hotspot option in your mobile 

  




















Ø  THE CLIENT SECTION
   The client section simply shows you how many devices are connected to your network; it also has additional features like to see user statistics that is how a particular is using your connection.in this same section you can block some one from having internet access even though they will still be connected to the same connection. The last option under the client GUI is the option to rename all the devices which are connected to the same network so that from their you know who is who.








Ø  The setting option: this section contains option like clean/reapply routing rules, upstream, downstream, misc. and the help section. This section has the setting but we be focusing on how to configure it where we be making use of the downstream
N ow let move forward on how to configure the application so hat you can share with no stress.




















How to configure vpn hotspot
Now let move forward to setup our VPN sharer.
·         Browse to your menu and launched vpn hotspot to begin follow from the picture below.
·         Then click on the option that says Wi-Fi hotspot (legacy) to enable your hotspot without going to your setting to do that. Once that option is enabled the tethering option will be active on your device.
·         Make sure to click on the manage system tethering and setup password for your connection so that you won’t have unauthorized user in your connection.
·          Once that is done you see another new option above called Wlan0 having IP ADDRESS (internet protocol address) like 192.168.43.1/24 and an IPV6 will be provided below the IP address once that option is also enable your VPN connection should be able to go through. If it does not work for you don’t panic, we still have another option left to enable for the connection to fully established.
·         Now click on the setting option found at the bottom right corner, once you’re in that setting page scroll down to downstream and enable DHCP workaround. DHCP stand for dynamic host configuration protocol this protocol help to assign the IP address from the VPN automatically without you having to insert manually so this option is the most important option of them all if you don’t enable this option the IP address from which the VPN channel the connection would not be added to your device therefor your device will not have internet access.  
·         Lastly make sure to disable the option that says disable IPV6 TETHERING if you have larger number of users on your network because the IPV6 will be able to contain all your users due to it vastness. But if you have small amount of user you can enable it.
·          Now those connected to your network would be able to have internet access without any issues.
·         In the client section you fine all those who are connected to your network and you can RENAME, BLOCK, AND SEE THEIR STATISTICS on how they consume your data then you can block some user from accessing the internet the renaming option help you to know who is who on your network so that you know to control your data flow to your users.
·          Like I said earlier the repeater option is there to regenerate direct Wi-Fi signal to users on the same network
