I believe many of the available apps do the same behind the scenes.

Is found in lots of places (it assumes your VPN tunnel is on tun0, which typically is the case for OpenVPN), and it is often told that it does the trick for you.

I think there are some variations of failure, but it never does what you really want: Share or tether the VPN connection over wifi. But how about using the two at the same time.

Your android phone can also make connections to some VPN if you e.g. Just click the hotspot icon, change the name and password if you like, and off you go. Android can by itself create a wifi hotspot allowing your 3G or 4G connection to be shared with other devices over wifi. The basic problem people are trying to solve is to create a wifi hotspot that sends all traffic over some VPN connection. I guess many people search the Internet with the words “android vpn tether”, and there surely are many hits.
