Hi, could you explain a bit more about how you're planning to share your VPN connection with a proxy? Interested to know how the networking will work. Thanks!

I mean, just run the proxy server on the phone. Then the traffic simply goes through VPN. Currently I just use this app, but I want to do it properly.

Ah, I see. Is this for devices that can connect to a proxy but can't connect to a VPN?

I suppose one could share their Wi-Fi connection using this too

Also. I use it with school computers like that.
But also to go around VPN device limit. For example, I use free Proton VPN which limits me to 1 connection at a time. And that 1 device can be the device running proxy server, and now I increased the limits.

Thanks, that's a good idea!

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
