Creating a Tunnel using iPhone as a server and openwrt device as client (PairVPN Alternative)

VPN
1

As the title states. I’m trying to make an internet tunnel to my iPhone to hide my hotspot tether usage.

I can use PairVPN on my laptop and I can confirm that it works to hide the hotspot usage, but since there is no PairVPN Linux app, I was hoping to recreate it.

I can get my router to tether to my iPhone no problem.

Is there an alternative to PairVPN for Linux?

Or a guide someone can point me to?

I think that tailscale can be a alternative .

You can install on Openwrt ( https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/services/vpn/tailscale/start ).
And you have on many platform , see https://tailscale.com/kb/1347/installation

Whatever you posted is not a “VPN alternative”.

Aren’t all VPNs “pair VPNs” ?

Can you make your iPhone a proxy?

That looks like the way to go but my router has 16mb only so I would need to compile a smaller version

7

That’s another way I’ve heard to bypass your hotspot limit.

How can I set up a WireGuard server on my iPhone?

9

That’s only if the hotspot is provisioned by the carrier.

There’s no “WireGuard server” per se. It’s a P2P tunnel. So either part is “server” and “client” at the same time.

There’s a wireguard app available in apple app store.

Which is what is currently happening and what I’m trying to circumvent.

You have anything helpful to add?

FYI dashing like that is not old school proper _or_ modern proper.
