I have a home setup with private services and Wireguard to phone in from outside, and would sometimes like to be able to access some of these services from devices that don’t have their own Wireguard client like an eBook reader.

Ideally, I would have Wireguard on my Android phone, create a WiFi hotspot and allow other devices to use that Wireguard connection. Out of the box this doesn’t work. Does anybody know how to achieve it?

    This can be achieved with tailscale using subnet routing. your local devices (ebook readers) can access your private servers if they are on a device thats on your tailnet (your phone).

      Really? How does that work? Maybe it’s time to look into Tailscale after all…
