Hi there,

We make an enterprise VPN product and are exploring some ideas. One that came up involves Personal Hotspot clients:

Is it possible to establish a VPN connection using our iOS product (where we support creating VPN tunnels with various VPN protocols via network extensions) and share that VPN connection to a Mac that is connected via Personal Hotspot?

It doesn't work out of the box, but before we dive in too much deeper, we wanted to hear if there is a high-level answer of how that client traffic is handled.

Thanks, Adrian

I recommend that you avoid trying to create features based on Personal Hotspot. It’s a user-level feature, not a developer API.
