OpenVPN Support Forum

Hi there!

I have downloaded the OpenVPN Connect for iOS from the Apple Store. It works well for all apps running on the phone; however, when I tether the phone to my laptop (be it through WiFi/Bluetooth or USB), my tethered laptop's traffic is not carried (tunneled) through the OpenVPN Connect client.

Is there a setting I need to enable to get tethered traffic tunneled through the OpenVPN Connect client?

I am using an iPhone 5, iOS 6.1.4, OpenVPN Connect 1.0 Build 47

Thanks for your help!

I'm having the same issue.. so bumping this thread to see if we can get a response.

Hello

After almost 3 years, no answer?

Is it possible to transmit the tethered traffic through the OpenVPN tunnel?

First with your Laptop connect to the hotspot on your phone.
Then start OpenVPN App on Laptop.

For Android 5.1 or up use OpenVPN for Android from Arne Schwabe.

@ Pippin: thanks, but it does not work on my iPhone, the tethered data goes directly into internet, not through the tunnel.

Ah yes, i see, iOS, i should pay attention
