So i currently use foxyfi/pda net however this app doesnt hide the wifi hotspot only teathering, is there anyway to hide wireless teathering or only wired?
PDANet only hides tether usage while connected over USB, which sucks since you can't use the PDANet application in linux.
The following worked for me:

Check out this application I put together. It is a simple stand alone app for true tethering over bluetooth...

You must have a rooted phone for this app to work.
What does tethering mean?
Tethering means use your phone's network connection from your PC or laptop. E.g. if you are travelling on train you can connect to internet from your laptop using your phone as 3G/EDGE modem.
Hi, I'm having a problem with my wifi tether recently after upgrading to TyphooN RC4 v2.9.4 where before this I'm using v2.1, my wifi tether works great using Wireless Tether apps. But now, I can seem to connect to my HD2 when using either wireless tether apps or portable wi-fi hotspot.
I did notice that on v2.1, when I'm turning on wireless tether apps, there's no blue color wifi hotspot appear on the notification bar except for green colored wireless tether apps but on 2.9.4, the wifi hotspot always appears on the notification bar everytime I'm turning on the apps and when I'm trying to connect, it just stop at obtaining IP address.
Different story when I'm upgrade to v3.0.1, my wifi hotspot is working but wireless tether still no avail and with errors.
I really hope that someone could assist on what to do as I want to run my wifi tethering using wireless tethering application as the application help me to customize the channel and even ip range for my wifi tether.
Thanks

I tried Barnacle wireless too. cant get wifi tethering to work
please help
Hello all. I am wondering if there is any current rom out that has the tethering issue fixed while connected to a vpn.
My setup now is basically stock rooted running a few Xposed modules. Wifi tether works out of the box on the phone (VZW), however when i connect to my vpn the wifi tether doesn't transmit data.
I found a app called TetherNet on the play store, and that fixes the problem. I can tether fine while running my vpn on my phone and all all traffic from devices connected to the mobile hotspot go through the VPN if using the TetherNet app. I am not sure what the TetherNet app does to fix this.
I am curious if there is any rom that has whatever fix the TetherNet app does built in.
Thank you.

Are you trying to use VPN on the device and tether?
Use VPN on the computer and pass through the device.
VPN creates an encrypted tunnel to the VPN host/server.
Tethering shares the connection but not through an encrypted tunnel.
You would need a VPN/Tethering app. Currently they conflict.
I have not seen it every work. I've been tethering and using VPN for years.
If you find something that will let you use VPN on the device and tether, I'd like to know.

I did find an app that works to share the Tunnel through the mobile hotspot and have your traffic from any connected device secure. It's called TetherNet found here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ilmubytes.tethernet&hl=en
I double checked to make sure i was being tunneled. If I am connected to the VPN on my phone and i connect to my hotspot on my PC WITHOUT using TetherNET my traffic is NOT Tunneled. After I hit the Share VPN button on TetherNet app on my phone, when checked my Traffic from the PC is tunneled. So there is a way to do it. For some reason android kills the app after a few hours, looking at how to have android ignore that app now so it is never killed off. Any suggestions on how to keep the app alive permanently?
Also it is somewhat difficult to connect tablets to the mobile hotspot, at first none of my tablets would obtain a IP address, I found a workaround. If I start the mobile Hotspot and then connect a tablet before turning on TetherNet app the tablet connects fine, but the traffic in unsecured and NOT being Tunneled. However once I activate TetherNet app, all connected devices, stay connected and are Tunneled through the VPN.
I currently have about 4 or 5 devices connected to my VPN via mobile hotspot, and my check comes back secure on all of them.
Note: on the play store it says app is not working with cm13 and samsung devices.
Anyone know a working tether app? I used to use wifi tether router before moving to this phone but i tried it and it seems to enable ok but the SSID never shows up on the PC. Currently stuck using the built in android tethering and while it works i worry that i will be throttled because tmobile only gives 2gb of tethering before its throttled.
