When the fuck did a mobile hotspot become something you have to pay extra for? (lemm.ee)

It's my goddamn motherfucking mobile data and MY PHONE. I should be able to use it however I want. My wifi went down because the greedy, cunt-faced shitbags at Comcast stole taxpayer subsidies to enrich themselves instead of actually providing the service we're paying for. I tried to switch to a mobile hotspot and my phone refuses to open one. Everyone responsible for this shit should be ~~fed to alligators~~ locked away in a fucking gulag. We have no rights and live in a corporate plutocracy.

Is there a guide on how to do this? I have a rooted phone with custom rom and unlocked bootloader.

Okay, so note that this script is over 8 years old now but if you google some of the lines or ask in a Linux / Android board they may be able to help you get this working if it doesn't as-is:

So, connect to your vpn on your phone and activate hotspot. Before connecting to it simply type these lines into the terminal (Think I used to use the Terminal Emulator app). You'll have to run the "su" command first to get root access:

iptables --flush
iptables -t filter -F FORWARD
iptables -t nat -F POSTROUTING
iptables -t filter -A FORWARD -j ACCEPT
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -j MASQUERADE

That should be all you need.. Unless something's changed in later android versions. I saved the above as a .sh script so I didn't have to copy-paste every line every time
