VPN Hotspot lets you share your VPN connection over a hotspot

VPN Hotspot

There are a lot of people who worry about the privacy of their online activity these days. Companies are releasing entire web browsers that focus solely on blocking the countless number of trackers that companies have embedded into their websites. Then we have internet providers who try to snoop in on what you’re doing, there are hackers who scan through entire publish WiFi networks, and so much more.

This is a big reason why the VPN business is getting so popular these days and getting one for everyone in a house, or all of your friends, can get quite expensive. Thankfully, XDA Senior Member Mygod Studio  has released a free application called VPN Hotspot which lets you share your current VPN connection to people near you by using a hotspot/system tethering or repeater (root required).



The goal of Mygod Studio was to design a VPN Hotspot to do only minimal changes to your system. This results in there being almost no chance you will brick your device while also limiting the risk of breaking your Internet using this app (under normal conditions). However, anything is possible when tinkering with these types of things so the developer cannot guarantee that nothing bad will happen. For those curious about what is under the hood of VPN Hotspot, be sure to check out the GitHub project here , but here are a number of reasons why VPN Hotspot can be quite the useful application.

  • Connecting things that don’t support VPN like Chromecasts behind corporate firewalls
  • Setting up gapps behind corporate firewalls
  • Connecting to your mobile hotspot but you’re not bothered to set up VPN on your device
  • Bypassing tethering limits. (you might need more of a real VPN than an ad-blocker to fool a smarter cellular provider)

How to change the PIM of a VeraCrypt volume

The developers of VeraCrypt introduced Personal Iterations Multiplier (PIM) functionality in the encryption program in version 1.12 . PIM stands for "Personal Iterations Multiplier". It is a parameter that was introduced in VeraCrypt 1.12 and whose value controls the number of iterations used by the header key derivation function. PIM is used by volumes even if the creator of the volume did not specify a value. It is an optional component that improves security: it adds another step to the authentication process similarly to two-factor authentication. The main difference is that the PIM value is fixed and not generated on the fly when requested. An attacker needs to know the master password and the PIM, if not set to default, to breach the encryption successfully and access the content of the drive or partition. A couple of good reasons exist to change the PIM value: It was leaked or stolen. The default value is used and that is not as secure as using a custom PIM. Yo...

The 5 Best Free IPTV Apps to Watch Live TV on Android

It’s easier than ever to watch on-demand TV shows and movies on your Android device. But what about live TV? Yes, there are services like Sling and PlayStation Vue. However, if you know where to look, you don’t need to subscribe to their expensive plans. You can use free IPTV instead; you just need an IPTV app and an IPTV source. What Is an IPTV App? IPTV apps are a bit like Kodi; they are empty shells that can’t stream any content without some user input. You have the responsibility for adding channels, playlists, and other sources. Typically, you cannot use the apps to watch Netflix, Hulu, or direct content from other third-party providers. Here, we’re not interested in the best on-demand streaming apps or places to watch TV online. We are only looking at the IPTV apps themselves.
