Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
It would be nice to use a Smartphone as a VPN Router for connected devices in hotspot

Describe the solution you'd like
Function like that:

  1. Turn on VPN Tunnel in wgtunnel Android APP (in mobile network)
  2. Enable Hotspot on Smartphone
  3. Connect 1 or more WIFI Devices to Androids Hotspot (e.g laptops or tablets)
  4. Route all traffic from the "hotspot connected devices" thru tunnel

Describe alternatives you've considered

If I'm understanding what youre asking for correctly I dont think this can be done without root/a custom ROM. I'm on CalyxOS and this feature is built into the ROM. I'd be glad to be proven wrong though

OK sorry to hear, that is only possible on rooted devices.
I can't use a custom rom or a rooted device regarding some apps aren't working anymore (e.g. homebanking)
So it looks like the feature can't be realized somehow?

This is my understanding of how the Android networking stack works. I'm not the developer. I was just looking at the open issues and happened to see yours. I may be proven wrong which would be fantastic, but I think this is correct.

Unrelated to WG Tunnel, are you able to use your banks website? That is what I use on my custom rom instead of the app.

I think @Handrail9 is probably right, but I'll look into it to confirm.
