Why do you need to config wireguard on each device? Connect your phone to your vpn and share the wifi. Works on my android. Struggling to see the value proposition for this device.

Do you have a pixel? On Samsung you cannot share WiFi, Hotspot only works with mobile connections. I learners above that this is possible with pixel phones, makes me want to get one...

Does it require specific VPN apps or root? I tried connecting laptop to phone hotspot and even though phone was connected to VPN, laptop wasn't.

So now your phone is a hot spot for your family and you can't leave the hotel room or go 2 hours without charging it?
