Slightly off-topic, but related because this happens to me on wireguard VPN through their (excellent) app.

It seems like the VPN connection is not shared to devices if I allow them to connect to my phone's hotspot. This is annoying, because I have a number of devices that ephemerally use the hotspot, and for which it is quite a hassle (impossible) to individually set-up and whitelist a keypair. Is this something that would be fixed with the inclusion of Wireguard as an android native VPN protocol?

I guess it should, given that my hot-spot settings has a "allow devices to use VPN" option. Not sure if it's the custom rom, I'm on Android 11.
