Sharing a Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection from an Android device involves enabling other devices to utilize the VPN tunnel established on the Android device. This process effectively extends the security and privacy benefits of the VPN to multiple devices using the Android device as an intermediary.
This capability offers enhanced security for multiple devices when connected to untrusted networks, such as public Wi-Fi hotspots. It masks IP addresses and encrypts traffic, thereby protecting sensitive data from eavesdropping and potential threats. Furthermore, it can enable devices that lack native VPN support to benefit from the secure connection established on the Android device.
