## What it is
An Android app that shares your device's VPN connection over a Wi-Fi hotspot, repeater, or USB/Bluetooth tethering. It requires root access and supports monitoring and controlling connected clients.

## Use cases

- bypass tethering VPN blocks on Android
- set up gapps behind a corporate firewall
- monitor and block clients connected to my hotspot
- tether devices without installing VPN on each one

## When to choose
- you have a rooted Android device and need to share a VPN connection with other devices
- you want to connect VPN-incapable devices like Chromecasts through your phone
