How to use the apps

Each app has its own page with a short explanation and step-by-step instructions. Choose the app you want to set up.

Share a VPN in three steps

  1. Start the proxy on your phone

    Open VPN Hotspot & Proxy, choose a port and tap Start Proxy Server.

  2. Put the other device on the same Wi-Fi or hotspot

    Note the address the app shows, for example 192.168.1.2.

  3. Point the other device at the phone

    Use the HTTP port in a laptop's proxy settings, or use Proxy All Apps with SOCKS5 and port 10810 to route all apps. Remember to select the matching proxy type.

Common problems

It connects, but nothing loads

Check that the proxy type matches the port: HTTP with the HTTP port, or SOCKS5 with the SOCKS5 port. Then check that the proxy is running and that both devices are on the same network.

Other devices cannot reach my phone's proxy while my VPN is on

Your VPN may be tunnelling the whole phone. Install VHP Bridge to create a bridge between your VPN and VPN Hotspot & Proxy.

"Port busy" in VPN Hotspot & Proxy

Tap Restart App and try again, or choose a different port such as 8090.

"Enter valid ip v4 address" in Proxy All Apps

Use a numeric IPv4 address such as 192.168.1.2. Names are not accepted.

Is it safe to share my connection?

Anyone on the same Wi-Fi or hotspot who knows the address and port can use the proxy while it runs. Only share on networks you trust, and stop the proxy when you are finished.
