lineageOS, and CalyxOS both let you share vpn over hotspot connections.
TIL GrapheneOS does not have that option.
Dang, also on Graphene...
here's a thread with official Graphene voices saying it won't happen (and why)
Yeah, to me it's a absolute killer feature for a travel phone. The GOS discussion around it boils down to violating the android profile security model.
E.x., im using a hotel wifi that only allows one device, or I have a esim for one phone only that doesn't allow "tethering".
Fair enough on the security model, but at least give me the option... Maybe with a always on notification warning. Being paternalistic about how you think the phone will be used and in which context is overstepping for infrastructure
I travel with a backup phone, and because of this I have calyxos on the backup and not gos.
Having strong opinions is what Graphene does. 😅
And they do seem to be an authority on all things security, so most of the time I like that about them.
