Wi-Fi hotspot enabled on host device with OpenVPN connected... connected client devices have no internet about ics-openvpn HOT 10 CLOSED

Yeah. I know that this not work (got another report about this behaviour). The 
application uses the VPNService API. The routing on Android is behind my 
control. I am afraid but this a bug google would have to fix.

okie, oh well

I reported the issue in the google android bug tracker:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=32622

From a mail, you can do if you have rooted your phone:

iptables -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.43.0/24 -j MASQUERADE -t nat
iptables -A FORWARD -j ACCEPT -i wlan0 -o tun0
iptables -A FORWARD -j ACCEPT -i tun0 -o wlan0

Issue 96 has been merged into this issue.

Issue 104 has been merged into this issue.

ah.. so it is possible by just adding postrouting  and forwarding rules?

are you going to implement this in to the app?

i mean, you could do a simpel root-check to see if the the dives is rooted and 
if so just add those rules.. right?

Well sometimes the tunnel device is also called tun1. And I know from HTC 
devices that they do some different iptables rules from stock android. While 
the VPNService API has a defined interface anything beyond that is dependend on 
the vendor implementation.  Adding rules could potiently do more harm than good.

Also the wlan interface may be called different on different handsets. For 
example the Motrola Defy has tiwlan0.

Solution if root,

See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33749904&postcount=10

Oneneeds iptables commands as specified above AND
routing command in 'dedicated tether routing  table'

Hope it helps
