Stay with me till the end to know more amazing facts about VPN connectivity.

What is a VPN?

Before we jump straight into the main focus, i.e., How to share a VPN connection from Android to PC, it is important to first know the meaning of reliable VPN and its purpose. VPN (Virtual Private Network) lets you have online privacy or obscurity by creating an individual private network for you where your online actions become untraceable. VPN connections are established with the help of an encrypted source such as a tunneling protocol. VPN connections are way more secured and encrypted than your WIFI connections. Thus, using VPN services is highly recommended. You can grab great discounts on this 2021 VPN Black Friday sale.

Now comes the question: is it legal to use VPN? Yes, it is. In some countries like China, Iraq, and UAE, using VPN is restricted due to illegal activities. But, in countries like the U.S., it is safe to use for torrenting, accessing copyrighted documents, etc.

Now that you have some idea about what a VPN is and its purpose, we can go further to the main topic of this article.

Share your Android version VPN to your computer.

If your android VPN allows a desktop version, then no hassle. But, if your android VPN app does not have a desktop version, then this guide is for you guys.

VPN can be shared in two ways-first via USB tethering or Hotspot tethering. Hence, the sharing will be sourced by a virtual router instead of a hardware one.

To do this, you need software that can create a virtual router which will then allow USB tethering over the IP address of the VPN and not over your device’s IP address.

One of the most famous software that people use across the globe is “PdaNet+.” Hence, I will unduly elaborate on how you can share VPN from one device to the other with the help of PdaNet+.

Method 1: Using PdaNet+

a. USB Tethering

This method is hassle-free when sharing VPN networks over a PC or laptop via USB tethering, wifi, or Bluetooth. Plus, it requires no root access from the android device, making this method even more convenient.

Steps:

  • Download the latest version of PDANet+ on your Android mobile.
  • Once done, download and install the pdanet.exe file for your PC or laptop.
  • Make sure the wifi Hotspot is off at this moment.
  • Run the app PDANet+ on the android device only. Later, launch the PDANet+. Apk on the Android (there are three ways you can do this- wifi Hotspot, Bluetooth server, and USB tether).
  • Go to Developer Options on your Android device to ensure that USB debugging is on.
  • Connect your USB cable to the PC and activate the “USB tethering” option.
  • Now, install and run the PDANet+ version which you installed on your PC.
  • Open the PDANet+ option from the notification bar on your Windows menu.
  • Click on “Connect Internet”
  • The device will authenticate the connection and let you connect automatically via USB tethering.

So far, you’ve seen how you can connect to a VPN via USB. Now, let’s check out the way to connect through a wifi Hotspot.

b. Wifi tethering

In order to run a VPN on a PC through a wifi hotspot, you will have to buy a premium version of PDANet+. PDANet+ requires no root access and is highly secured. The only disappointment with this method is you need to have a premium PDANet+ account for wifi tethering. The procedure is similar to USB tethering; the only requirement here is to purchase a PDANet+ account.

Method 2: Using Tethernet

This is a great app that helps in sharing secured VPN connections to another mobile or PC. Tethernet can be shared in both ways, i.e., via USB tethering or wifi tethering. Tethernet requires root access to work smoothly. Thus, the android you use must be pre-rooted before sharing VPN. I also find this method more convenient and easier because Tethernet does not ask to install the app on both devices; rather, it can tether your VPN connection from any one of the devices.

Steps

  1. Download the Tethernet app on your Android device.
  2. Install and launch the Tethernet app and enable root access right away.
  3. Now enable the VPN on your Android device.
  4. Tap and switch on USB tethering or Hotspot on your android device.
  5. Now go back to the Tethering app, and click on share via wifi Hotspot or click on Share via USB tethering.
  6. Finally, connect the PC or laptop to your wifi hotspot and enjoy a hassle-free connection.

Method 3: DF Tethering Fix App

DF Tethering Fix App allows you to eliminate limitations set on your android device and let you have fun by expanding tethering in your device’s access points. This app is easily downloadable from any source, which makes this app very reliable and touted in terms of privacy or security. The DF Tethering Fix app requires root access having a single user interface. Follow the below steps to exactly understand the procedure.

Steps:

  • Download the DF Tethering Fix app from any link or source.
  • Install and launch the application.
  • Once launched, give a grant for root access.
  • Enable your VPN server to make sure the internet is on.
  • Go to your mobile settings and enable tethering.
  • Now go back to the DF Tethering Fix app.
  • Click on “Fix Tethering.”
  • After authentication, you will be able to connect automatically to the VPN.

 

That was all I had for you today. Sharing VPN is as simple as sharing a Hotspot from your phone to the PC only if you have the right app.

Now, go ahead and download any VPN tethering application you find suitable and fully encrypted. You can also use the apps I mentioned, especially PDANet+ since it is the most prominent and secure platform to share the VPN connection without any complications.
