Hello,

Internet sharing/NAT is managed by Network Manager. By default, Hudiy configures the Hotspot to enable sharing. According to our tests, when a phone connects to the hotspot, internet access is routed via the Ethernet port.

However, this behavior may differ for Android Auto projection. Based on our observations, Android Auto uses Wi-Fi exclusively for projection data transmission, effectively ignoring the internet connection.

I did it through Bluetooth data tethering and it worked flawlessly.

Tomorrow I will share a script with you to make things easier ;)
