I created this script to automatize sharing of the hotspot connection I’m using.
Scenario:
My laptop is connected to the hotspot wifi. This internet connection will be shared to a router via an ethernet cable (which is also plugged to the laptop). The router then will distribute the connection to multiple devices.
Usage:
1. Clone or add the script to your .bin folder the script :: https://github.com/xdth/qproxy
2. Edit the parameters as you like
3. Setup the router having the as WAN IP, the internal interface IP in the script
Enjoy.
