[GUIDE] How to WiFi tether with VPN (DroidVPN)

[SmokeyTech1]

Before anyone says "this has been discussed before" yes it has, but this is the ONLY method that's worked for me, so therefore it may also work for you when others have not.
My carrier is Telcel (Mexico) Its prepaid that I haven't paid for since using the VPN, as it allows me to have free internet, and this method allows me to share it with all my devices, I've used 30GB of data in 2 weeks.
Disclaimer: not responsible for your device in anyway, even though this should not harm anything


STEP 1: You need a rooted device
STEP 2: Make sure you have a VPN app, like OpenVPN or DroidVPN ( I use DroidVPN and its the best)
STEP 3: Download Terminal Emulator
STEP 4: Activate your hotspot and connect to your VPN
STEP 5: launch Terminal emulator and on the first line type "su" (without the quotes) and press enter
STEP 6: Copy and paste this to the Terminal Emulator, MAKE SURE TO PASTE TO A NEW FOLDER USING ROOT BROWSER FIRST, AND COPY TO T.E. IN THE EXACT FORMAT AS SHOWN

iptables -t filter -F FORWARD
iptables -t nat -F POSTROUTING
iptables -t filter -I FORWARD -j ACCEPT
iptables -t nat -I POSTROUTING -j MASQUERADE
ip rule add from 192.168.43.0/24 lookup 61
ip route add default dev tun0 scope link table 61
ip route add 192.168.43.0/24 dev wlan0 scope link table 61
ip route add broadcast 255.255.255.255 dev wlan0 scope link table 61

STEP 7: That's about it
Also be sure to make a folder with Root Browser and paste the code there, as this resets after re-boot.
Please comment if this worked for you, it worked on my LG G3 on android 4.4.2

FIRST!

So, basically, what do this does?

Basically for me it allows me to bypass my carriers tether restrictions, in example; you have tmobile, your plan has unlimited data but only 5GB of tethering, this will trick it into thinking all traffic is coming from your phone, giving you unlimited data to all your devices

FWIW this will be different on different carriers, different devices, and different VPN(Juno's pulse for example). Good info none the less :good:

This should darn near be universal, as this was code I found was just a copy and paste of the original, don't need to change anything, it should also work with all VPNs, can't confirm though, I've only used this on my AT&T LG G3, I will try on my HTC One
Also the "IP table" part of the code can be found in a few places, the special part of the code is "ip rule" and "ip route"

The iptables should be, but the routing, rules, and lookup tables could vary. Also some carriers you would need extra iptables commands and route commands to work with their tethering data cap security measures.

Like I said its useful knowledge but in some cases may need a little extra massaging to fully work.

any good guides for setting up a vpn server on your own PC?

Are you on windows or Linux?

Honestly the easiest way would be to get a router that supports it out of the box, but if you don't have one its still pretty easily doable.

 

[SmokeyTech1]

Good guide. Thanks.

Did this work for you? If so please state your device name and android version, I'm going to add to the OP a "confirmed working on"

Premium, the free account almost never connects, and you only get 100mb daily

I used droid vpn on my sim's internet connection after 100mb it disconnected so I just changed the mobile and with the same account I logged jn droid vpn and it got connected. How was it possible?

I really don't know, maybe droidvpn monitors each devices data, like you can use 100mb on one 100mb on another,

Works and great! on android 5.02

Is there any way to incorporate this into an AFWall+ profile, so that someone can just switch profile when leaving home and have this automatically setup?

I got a dlink 510L that says it will run my pantech 290, it work on computer with software, when i put it in router saying no internet.
