        Hi,
        I've Oneplus 6T and am planning to install Ubuntu Touch on it.
        is the following possible with Ubuntu Touch:

        Scenario:

        <any device- like laptop> <---> Phone as AP (hotspot) + VPN running on phone (like NordVPN) <---> VPN Server <---> Internet

        Requirement:

        All the network traffic from the devices connected to the phone hotspot, is routed through the VPN tunnel on the phone.

        Android prevents this unless the phone is rooted.

        Is it possible to fullfil this requirement without 'root' priviledges on Ubuntu Touch?

        cheers,
        S#

          @icmp15 it should work. I haven't used a VPN on a hotspot, but used it for WiFi and data. The hotspot should go to the VPN first.

          Xiaomi Redmi Note 7.... And more...
          I have too many devices...
