VPN Hotspot & Proxy vs OpenVPN Connect Usage & Stats

An app that enables you to run your own proxy server on your Android device. Through your mobile hotspot, you can now share your VPN's connection to other devices like your laptop or TV without installing other additional VPNs on those devices and as well go past hotspot limitation provided by the ISP. To share your VPN's connection, first enable your hotspot and then start this app. The VPN can be connected before starting the hotspot or after starting the hotspot. Also, if you want to bypass the ISP's limitation, just start the hotspot and then start this app. The proxy server-generated will bind your connection to the IP Address assigned to your Android device thereby enabling you to use the connection from the connected device. VPN Hotspot & Proxy supports Light and Dark mode depending on your system's settings. Detailed guide on how to use your VPN Hotspot & Proxy 1.
