“Use VPN”

Mhm, but not for hotspot, unless you’re rooted or use a custom ROM with such feature. Otherwise best you can do is one of those hotspot apps that uses legacy Wi-Fi direct group and runs a proxy server, but that’s still not as good.

“Change font”

Depends on device. Can’t do that on mine.

What do you mean, is it not possible? I use VPN with USB tethering just fine. Is the same not true for wireless hotspot? I assumed they work similarly.

But the connected device won’t use your phone’s VPN connection. It connects directly.

It does for my OpenVPN connection. My laptop was able to remote to my home PC over my mobile data. Not sure if it works differently from commercial VPNs.

Me neither, but I assumed it was because i’ve always ignored samsung “confirm updated agreement” since I bought the phone, a.d thought thats why i’ve been locked out of the few OneUI aspects i’m forced to use.
