[BUG] Hotspot always routed

[Fabian42]

It seems like traffic from other devices using the phone's WLAN hotspot is always routed through Tor, no matter what "Open proxy on all interfaces" is set to.

Either that setting is broken or it means something other than what I interpreted, in which case a new setting for just would be helpful.

• Device: Shift6mq
• OS: LineageOS 19, Android 12
• Version: 16.6.3-RC-1-tor.0.4.7.10 (Tor 0.4.7.10-2-g74a98cc7)

The "open proxy" means that the tor daemon's HTTP and SOCKS proxy ports can be accessed from any local IP address.

The hotspot routing over the VPN feature isn't one we have a specific feature to turn off or on. In stock Android, I believe this does NOT happen. It must be a Lineage feature to have the hotspot route over the VPN.

Oh yeah, "Allow clients to use VPNs" in the system's internet settings! It would still be nice to have a setting for this for Tor specifically, in case I use a different VPN for everything else.

To the best of my knowledge, in stock AOSP, this is not provided to user applications via any API.

Likely it would have to use root to temporary enable/disable this?
