What are the 'dummy' vpns (adblock over vpn) that you tested with the app and worked? I have tested many and none of them work! Can you please give some hints? Thanks |

Here is a list of "dummy VPN" apps (i.e. apps that do not forward most of your traffic elsewhere) that have been to reported to work. Feel free to add more in this thread. Note that these VPNs may not hide your traffic against your carrier (and may still limit your bandwidth for video streams for example) so it is not as perfect as a real VPN (if you are looking for something for free, you can use Warp in 1.1.1.1, which is a free lite VPN instead of dummy but has limited NAT support).
Not working:
tl;dr: Use Warp in 1.1.1.1. |

What's the context here. I'd very much like to see if the app I co-develop RethinkDNS + Firewall works too. Thanks. Disclosure: I've had some interesting interaction with the Blokada team: https://archive.is/X4nOS | https://archive.is/intdM but that's not why I am here (: |

@ignoramous You can take a look at cce3223. Essentially as long as your VPN service intercepts all traffic (and forwards it as normal traffic), it should be good for bypassing tethering restrictions. |

The first one does not use VPN API it only works with Samsung & Yandex browser. I tried blokada, couldn't get it to work. I tried many others but no chance. NetGuard works but there are many network drops unfortunately |

I remember you can make the first one use VPN by tweaking settings. What do you mean exactly by not working? What are your network provider's restrictions on tethering? |

I can't access the internet with hotspot. But when I use a proper vpn I can using VPNHotspot |

More a DNS VPN, but free: 1.1.1.1 - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cloudflare.onedotonedotonedotone |

Alright I did a little testing. It turns out that this VPN version of AdGuard works but not Blokada. This is because Blokada basically works by set up a separate DNS server only so all traffic are still routed directly. I could set up some diagnosis option to help you find which adblocking VPN would work. |

Please try v2.7.0. Go into settings and you should see the upstreams listed in "Current upstreams". If the primary/VPN upstream is displayed in bold, it should be good for bypassing tethering limitations. |

AdGuard VPN works great with VPN tether, blokada does too but ONLY with it's built in (paid) VPN turned on (which slows the connection whereas AdGuard doesn't). |

AdGuard and AdClear both well as full local VPN implementations. 1.1.1.1 did not work for me unless Warp is enabled, and I found the WireGuard app to be more consistent for that. Host blockers seem to only implement enough to forge DNS responses, so they usually don't work either. |

Versión 6.6 of 1.1.1.1 bring leaks in my case. Just if you have time to check. Had to revert to 6.5 for it to stop leaking. |

Thank you @puertajulian for mentioning your trouble with Cloudflare / 1.1.1.1. My hotspot stopped working (clients could connect but not access the internet), but reverting to version 6.5 of the 1.1.1.1 app (which I got from apkmirror) fixed it. Neither version 6.6 nor 6.7 of "1.1.1.1" worked for me. @Mygod : |

Not an issue with VPNHotspot. If you have issues with 1.1.1.1 I suggest generating a profile with wgcf and importing it into the official Wireguard app. |

So what do you suggest? I generated a config with ViRb3/wgcf, imported it to the WireGuard app. Now I have "WARP VPN" on my smartphone, but I already had it with just the 1.1.1.1 official app. How can I do tethering from this device without leaving the VPN? So that after connection to this mobile hotspot, the devices were in the VPN too. |

Sorry, but I am having a bit of trouble parsing the question. The only issue specific to Wireguard that I know of is when you have the kernel module enabled. You have to set the upstream connection in VPNHotspot to the Wireguard profile name in this case. If your not able to get VPNHotspot to work with any VPN, post a new issue with information about your device, rom, and logs(logcat/debug info). |

I am converting this issue to a discussion given the interest. 😉 |

Anyone tried trackercontrol from f-droid? |

This is what I get with TrackerControl with default settings on a Pixel 5a with LineageOS 19.1.

After some testing, it appears to work - data use is attributed to TC rather than tethering. |

NetGuard also works, as it's what TC is based on. However, you need to go in to advanced options and turn on "Filter traffic" for |

I installed TC and had tun0 appear in bold in VPN Hotspot, but tether data was still detected on AT&T (Android 10 rooted). |

While current versions of Blokada (5 and 6) do not work, I have had success with Blokada 4. Most up-to-date version is 4.4.15.0. Tested on a rooted Razer Phone 2 running Android 9, so I can't confirm if this works on later versions of Android. |

Just tested and Blokada 4 seems identical to 5 on my end. |
