I have seen a lot of people wondering about how to use your phone's vpn in pc. If you're one of them, than keep reading.

To do this you do not need root :)
Works on any computer OS :)
Works on home wifi or data hotspot :)

When your PC is connected with your WiFi or hotspot, it's sends all the request directly, regardless of your phone's vpn, wheather it is on or off. When you turn on the phone's VPN, all the traffic from your phone goes through the VPN, and we have to divert your PC's traffic through the same route.

There are a lot of different ways to do this, but we will use proxy method.
Download an app called proxy server (<1MB), you can find it in PlayStore or here on XDA. Or any other app would do, it just needs to have the capability to create a proxy server.

So (for Proxy server app) all you have to do is (first time setup)-
  • Open the app.
  • Click on the add button at the top, give it a name.
  • Remember the port and go back.
  • On the dialogue, click save.
  • Click on Info at the top, note the wifi ip, go back.
  • Click on Start at the top to start the server.
  • Go to PC's browser (or network proxy, if you want to tunnel everything) settings.
  • Put the proxy server ip (the wifi ip noted earlier) and the port.
  • Turn on your phone's VPN
  • Enjoy :good:

If you're using hotspot, go to pc's network settings or ipconfig (google if you don't know how) to find out the gateway, that will be your proxyserver ip.

Just in case it seems to be a lot of steps, know that, you only have to setup once, after that its pretty much start and stop on both your phone and PC. I have an addon installed in my browser (proxy toggle) so basically it's a single-click step.


I'm no scientist, so I don't know all the billions of methods to do this, but this is just a good old method that's going unnoticed somehow. I'm just trying to help people here by sharing it here. If you already knew it, good for you. If you didn't, congratulations and good luck.

I think it'd be better if you go watch a video on YouTube, explaining "what is a vpn" . If I try to explain you here, chances are you're going to get confused even more.

Start VPN in phone
Start proxyserver app in phone
Set the proxy IP and port in your PC browser

It's a 3 step process. If you still need help, you should ask more specifically, a generic "more explanation needed" doesn't pin point where should I start.
