I wish to share my internet over my Laptop PC. Currently, we use ISP to connect to the internet, then we use VPN/Proxy to access the global network.

The Issue I have is on the old time, I would use a VPN/Proxy per device, and as the prices raised so high because of user access limitations in my country, previously I would use a good VPN on my Windows devices, then re-shared it to my other devices; and I would use the netsh ad-hoc command... configure netsh and then netsh wlan start hostednetwork

But It seems new devices WiFi drivers does not support that. But still, Windows provide another Mobile Hotspot feature,... and with it the issue is...

It is available if I connect to no VPN network, saying it can share WiFi over to WiFi. But once I connect to a VPN network, the whole panel becomes disabled.

So:

  1. I'm wondering now, how I can still share my VPN with other devices
  2. Should I swap my WiFi module? Are there any modules among the new ones, which also are newer that support ad-hoc (Hosted Network Supported: Yes) too?
  3. should I get an external WiFi device, and not lose my current system WiFi card?
  4. Is SoftAP destined to do these things too? should I keep my current module? in case I need to change it to an older one? or are there any new one with Hosted Network Support

Current module: Intel(R) Wireless-AC 9260 160MHz

    The simplest would be to setup the VPN in the router, if supported. – harrymc May 07 '23 at 10:49
  • Unfortunately, my company only provides SoftEther. and they have another network that is both metered and slower, but also that one used a very customized version of the certificate that Mikrotik support said we see weird flags in the certificate, that are not supported by our devices. So, I use router to access wan, also spread it through WiFi for normal usage; then to PC, PC Connects to Server, Share Over WiFi HostedNetwork(AdHoc), And again goes back to Router, and Router also spread the Tunneled network. But I also want to do the same using my laptop, as I did it in my friend's older one. – Hassan Faghihi May 07 '23 at 14:46
