1 year ago I have continued to play around, without any luck. My most recent attempt was:
sudo ./lnxrouter --ap wlo1 PfeffyTest -p Derp12345! -o tun-easytether --dns 1.1.1.1
Same results.
First, thanks for your time.
I have been trying to get my phone tethered to Ubuntu 22.04, and then have that laptop broadcast a wifi network for my other devices to connect to. I use EasyTether (https://www.google.com/search?channel=fs&client=ubuntu-sn&q=easytether) to bypass bandwidth restrictions from my cell phone. With EasyTether connected I tried several different methods of creating a hotspot, such as using the built-in feature, as well as linuxwifihotspot (https://github.com/lakinduakash/linux-wifi-hotspot/blob/master/src/scripts/README.md).
In every case the AP was created, devices could successfully join, but none of them were able to obtain internet access.
This led to me finding linux-router when I was at my wit's end, so I installed all the dependencies and got the program to run successfully, but once again with the same result. Successful creation of a network that does not provide Internet access to its clients. Output of the program below. Just hoping that someone might have some insight as to why that internet traffic doesn't appear to successfully make it to the devices on the access point.
