How to create VPN on my Android phone?

VPN
1

Need help to understand.

In my Android 9 phone settings. When I go to wireless and network setting. I find a option to add VPN.

Can I make my Android phone as VPN server via this? So I can access my home internet, while traveling, from my other devices by connecting to this Android phone VPN?

You would need to setup a VPN server on your home network, then add a configuration for your client on your phone.

3

This is how you set your phone up as a VPN client, not server, You would need to either host the server at home or use a public/private one. There are ways to do this yourself, but you will have to do some research to figure it out.

I think it’s possible since I have played several lan multiplayer games with my friend from other region.I used “Zerotier” which act like a VPN.

5

I’m sure it’s possible, and I’d guess it’s not worth the time and effort unless you are an enthusiast. Many routers have VPN servers, and you could set one up with a Raspberry Pi or otherwise unused computer.

6

Android don’t have built-in VPN server things.

7

Is there a way to setup VPN server for this limited access need on my Android phone itself?

8

I don’t have spare computer to leave at home. Therefore I’m looking to setup VPN server on my mobile phone. Please let me know if you can guide me to a information source to set this up.

Are you asking if you can run the server on your phone, and connect to it from a different device?

10

You can install a Linux distribution on Android, such as Debian or Arch, and install a VPN server on that.

11

You might want to look into the termux app for Android, and set up OpenVPN or Wireguard on that.

I’d imagine you could setup a VPN server on a phone, but I wouldn’t recommend it for many reasons.

13

Could you please direct me to the information on setting it up on my phone? I aim to briefly connect to my home network for Netflix Home Connect requirements, during my travels.

You do realize you’d need to leave your phone at home and connect to it with a different phone, right? That’s what you’re asking?

Yes, this is an extra phone that I can keep at home.
