ABOUT: Information on how to host a hotspot using a network connection from a router/data for free using Termux

Step 1: Install Termux

First, ensure you have Termux installed on your Android device. If you don't have it yet, you can download it from the Google Play Store or F-Droid.

Step 2: Grant Termux Permissions

For Termux to create a hotspot, it needs certain permissions. Open Termux and type the following command to request root access:

su

You might need to grant root permissions to Termux in your device's settings. (you will need to install the termux root repo!)

Step 3: Check for Wi-Fi Adapter

Before proceeding, ensure your device has a Wi-Fi adapter that supports AP (Access Point) mode. You can check this by running:

ip link

Look for a device named wlan0 or similar, which indicates a Wi-Fi adapter.

Step 4: Create the Hotspot

To create a hotspot, you'll use the hostapd tool. First, you need to install it. Since Termux doesn't have hostapd in its repositories, you'll need to download and compile it from source. This process can be complex and requires a good understanding of Linux and compilation processes.

Alternatively, you can use a precompiled binary if available. However, finding and using such binaries can pose security risks, especially if they're not from a trusted source.

Step 5: Configure the Hotspot

After installing hostapd, you need to configure it. Create a configuration file, for example, hostapd.conf, with the following content:

interface=wlan0
driver=nl80211
ssid=Your_Hotspot_Name            < EDIT | numbers and letters only!
hw_mode=g
channel=7
wmm_enabled=0
macaddr_acl=0
auth_algs=1
ignore_broadcast_ssid=0
wpa=2
wpa_passphrase=Your_Password      < EDIT | numbers and letters only!
wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
wpa_pairwise=TKIP
rsn_pairwise=CCMP

Replace Your_Hotspot_Name with the name you want for your hotspot and Your_Password with a strong password.

Step 6: Start the Hotspot

With the configuration file in place, you can start the hotspot by running:

hostapd hostapd.conf

This command starts the hotspot with the settings defined in hostapd.conf.

Step 7: Enable IP Forwarding

To allow devices connected to your hotspot to access the internet, you need to enable IP forwarding. Run:

echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

Step 8: Configure NAT

To route traffic from the hotspot to the internet, you need to set up NAT (Network Address Translation). Assuming your device's internet connection is on eth0, run:

iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE

Step 9: DHCP Server

To assign IP addresses to devices connecting to your hotspot, you can use a DHCP server. This step is optional but recommended for a fully functional hotspot.

Security Considerations

Creating a hotspot exposes your device to potential security risks, especially if it's connected to the internet. Ensure you have strong security measures in place, such as using WPA2 for encryption and regularly updating your hotspot's software.
