Can't use OpenVPN and Wifi tether simultaneously

Why my Samsung laptop (Win7Ult x64) can never recieve a regular signal from the Wifi tether from my phone once I'm using OpenVPN? :? :x

Android doesn't allow tethered connections to route through the VPN. This is an Android rule that applies to all VPN apps running on non-rooted devices. This is done for security, out of concern that if a malicious individual was able to get access to your tether, they could piggy back onto the VPN connection.

A better, more secure solution is to run a VPN client on the tethered machine.

I ran into this today while my my Nexus 7 tablet was wifi tethered to the Galaxy S4 with it connected to my Windows 7 OpenVPN server. As soon as the VPN was disconnected, the Nexus 7 was able to make a connection.

Would traffic be able to route through the VPN if I install OpenVPN client on the Nexus 7 while wifi tethered to S4?

Bump. 🙂 how could I modify Android to allow it?
