Windows 10 How To Create Windows 10 OpenVPN Hotspot?

[gilhappy]

Hello,

I am trying to see if there is a way in Windows 10 to create a wireless network or hotspot for an OpenVPN connection. To explain - on my Windows 10 laptop, I am connected to my home access point and then I open up OpenVPN and connect to my VPN. Then I'm wondering if I can create a wireless network from my laptop so other wireless devices in my home can connect to the VPN through my laptop?

Many of the articles I have read involve using 'Wireless Hosted Network' (in DOS, type 'netsh wlan show drivers' to see if your wireless supports 'hosted network support'), but apparently support has been removed from Windows 10.

Thanks in advance!

Settings > Network and Internet > Mobile Hotspot

Thanks... so if I do that, the Hotspot will be created and any device that connects to it will go over the VPN? If yes, is there anything special that needs to be done so that the hotspot uses the OpenVPN connection?

That will just depend on how OpenVPN is setup (as in which traffic it routes through the VPN)
