My Dad wants to be able to tether his tablet to his phone using BT or Wi-Fi (BT is probably better as it uses less battery I think), so that when he's in the car he can use the phone's mobile data to get traffic updates for his SatNav apps on the tablet, which doesn't support mobile data.
I believe that tethering is frowned on by mobile providers but could I use a VPN or Tor (Orbot) to encrypt all the data traffic from the phone, so that the provider can't tell if it's originating from the phone itself or a tethered device?
Both devices run AfWall+, so what service/app on each device would I need to create rules for? I don't think AfWall+ has any options for managing BT access, only LAN, WiFi, Data (on devices that support that) and VPN.
The tablet is a Sero 7 Pro running 4.2.1 and the phone is a Huawei G300 running Gingerbread, although I'm trying to persuade my Dad to buy a Moto G 2014 DS like mine, as he does need to use two SIMs.
On my Lenovo S8-50 tablet, when I pair it to my phone it has a tickbox for "Use this connection for Internet" but if I pair it to my Moto G it just unticks itself when I try and enable it. The Sero 7 Pro doesn't even have this option, so I can't try it on that.
