Sharing VPN over Android WiFi hotspot
I'd like to share my 4G + PIA VPN connection to multiple devices via Android 9 WiFi hotspot feature. However, when connected to PIA on my phone, I enable the WiFi hotspot on my phone, then surf from my iPad over the connection: On the iPad, the PIA web page says my IP is exposed, which I assume this means the iPad to Internet traffic is not traveling over VPN.
Has anyone managed to get a shared VPN connection to work using the Androi WiFi hotspot feature?

Thank you for your response! Unfortunately, it is not possible to run a device using the VPN as a hotspot. The VPN tunnel by definition blocks any external connections from the tunnel, such that other device on the network will not be able to connect to it. However, you can connect devices using a VPN TO a hotspot, so long as the hotspot device, itself is not running a VPN also. If you need further assistance, please let us know! - PIA CS TEAM
I've been trying to do this for a long time, with no luck. All solutions ّI found required root, and I didn't want to root my Pixel 2. Using this method, no root is required, but all devices connecting to your phone's wifi hotspot must support proxy (either http or socks).
All you need to do is connecting to vpn and enabling wifi hotspot. Then you need to also install an app called every proxy. It gives you a SERVER and PORT. You can configure other devices on the network to connect to that proxy server. Their connection passes through the vpn connection on your phone.
This method should also work without enabling wifi hotspot, when your phone and other devices are connected to the same wifi, but I haven't tested that one. 9apps cartoon hd
