    Sharing Internet from laptop to other devices.


    Hi
    I've got a laptop that connects to my network via WiFi. On the laptop I run a VPN client to a remote location.

    Is there anyway I can use my laptop as a default gateway so all wired and wireless devices use the laptop to route traffic, the aim being all traffic routes via the VPN and not directly out via the router.

    Thanks

    Bit of further information.
    Currently my devices connect via the BT HomeHub5 either wirelessly or using the LAN ports.

    On the start button, search for hotspot. Click on Change mobile hotspot settings.
