Hi all could do with a little help....I have an unlimited data plan so I have connected my Iphone 4S to an American VPN service to allow me stream the American netflix which is fine and when i searched my IP on Safari it had changed to an American IP which is great, but when i connect my laptop to my phones personal hotspot the device is not using the vpn connection.... so is there a way when i connect a device to use my phones internet it will also use the vpn connection?? Thanks in advance for any help...
 
Two suggestions I would have

1) in case of L2TP driven VPN you could try the switch "send all traffic"

2) did you try to initiate the VPN on the laptop only and use the iPhone as simple router ?
 
Dont know how i didnt think of that ...... Thanks just connected the laptop to VPN ... A little off subject i know but have you or anyone else ever heard of Getusvpn.com??
