What I don't understand though, doesn't using mullvad automatically set their own DNS?
On the desktop it does. But on Android things are maybe different ? Not directly related but I remember (long time ago) wanting to tether from an Android phone with Mullvad VPN app in use, to a computer, only to find out that the Android defaults (In Android not in the Mullvad app) needed a button swiped to make it work correctly on the other device.
I thought sharing the VPN was blocked and not possible. Do you remember how you did?
Ive recently managed to do this;
Settings> Network & Internet> Hotspot & Tethering> Allow Clients To Use VPN
Not in pixel :( I would love this
I think that's a feature in newer android versions, but maybe some manufacturers disallow it.
