[Q] VPN and WiFi question

EVO 4G:
What is the trick to getting the WiFi hotspot to work after being Rooted? I grabbed the WiFi tether file and installed. The phone can be seen by my laptop but the laptop cannot connect. I initially tried it with WEP enabled and it didn't work so I did it as an Open network and still no success.
I'm also having trouble connecting my EVO to connect to my company VPN. We use WPA2 Enterprise which the factory VPN client does not natively support. I tried installing OpenVPN but have been unsuccessful with that. Any help is greatly appreciated and thanks in advance!

How about... Some details.
ROM?
Kernel?
Software versions?
Have you tried other ROMs?
Have you tried other kernels?
Have you tried other tethering apps?

I had the exact same issue....all you have to do is go to the website and download version 8 works like a charm

Do you have media control enabled? If so, when you connect to your hotspot you need to approve your client via your EVO.

Oreo Soak Hotspot?

I'm on the Oreo beta, Soak 3 and my hotspot doesn't work. It has never worked on any of the Soaks and I have no clue why. I use Cricket but I have installed the tethering enable module via Magisk. I can enabled the hotspot but everything that connects shows no internet and gives the message "dnsprobe finished no internet" in chrome. I have tried modifying the DNS servers and I have tried using a VPN before enabling the hotspot but no luck. Anyone have any other suggestions?
Thanks in advance,

Glad you got it fixed, but this isn't the correct forum to ask questions. Please ask in the Q&A Section

Do you have the tethering zip file you could share? I cannot find it in the store and I need tether.

This is the last version I have.

When you say 'tried the build.prop edit to bypass', are you referring to adding 'net.tethering.noprovisioning=true' to the build.prop file? Was it the same procedure that was described in this post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-xl/how-to/root-guide-native-hotspot-t3493286 ?
I upgraded to Android 9 Pie this morning and lost tethering, so I just wanted to check if you have verified that this works on Pie before going through the procedure again. Thank you!

Hey. Just saw this, and am on a Google pixel with pie, and have no problem tethering, as I discovered a homerun of a fix, provided you have root.
Just download VPN hotspot (by mygod), VPN tether (by jarvanh) and a VPN (I use the one with the bears in the tunnel). Turn the VPN on, then enter VPN hotspot. Toggle hotspot IN THE APP ONLY, return and enable the wlan0 option that will appear after hotspot engages. Then, open VPN tether, toggle on, and Viola! Endless hotspot. It will be viewable on your data usage only under the app title of your VPN, and thus as unlimited as any other usage.
As with all things, however, there's a drawback, which is excessive battery drain. But it definitely works and can be done, for free, and without a build prop tweak, as I haven't bothered working it in anymore, because I am positive it doesn't matter. But, if you wanted to stick with the prop tweak, add it to your /default.prop as well as /system/build.prop and then in a terminal (as root) enter "setprop net.tethering.noprovisioning true"
Which can be verified with the command "getprop net.tethering.noprovisioning".
Hopefully you enjoy.

Problems with pdanet app

I have a problem with the pdanet app when installing the version in android 8.1, I happen to see a warning that says: your device is not compatible with wps, and does not share wifi signal from that app, which does not happen with android 7, someone do you have any solution?
PS: sorry for my english..

Same problem here. I have a Moto G5s, and wifi sharing doesnt work when I updated to Android Oreo.

I used to use the following app - it requires root & a bit of knowledge to set it up - read their instructions
It may work for you - I no longer have this device so I can't give you the config for it but try goggling & seeing if a config is already on their site
I used it to bypass the mobile network tether throttle so they couldn't detect you are tethering & reduce your speed
It is a paid app though but Google is your friend

Without root you are basically using the phones native wifi hotspot
Can you not activate wifi hotspot via the wifi settings in your phones settings menu?
Technically all apps that don't use root are just using their app & interface to turn on wifi hotspot which you should be able to yourself via wifi settings

I hope I can help you
the only way I can make it work is to be connected to a Wi-Fi network regardless of whether there is a network or not and then we enter the hotspot in the PDANET app and then you disconnect from the network without turning off the wifi and keep sharing the signal .
it's the only way I can make it work

Could you fix it? same problem

Forget your saved networks and sign back in

Forget networks and connect again

I think that's a bug if you install the GSI with the wrong bootloader...
Maybe that's your problem
