Windows 10: Connections via the Mobile hotspot won't use the Proxy settings

Hi there,I was trying to setup my Windows 11 as an internet gateway but couldn't make it work.I have two network adapters on my machine: Ethernet 4, which connects to the internet, and WLAN, which I use as a mobile hotspot, sharing my internet connection on Ethernet 4.It works fine under the normal situation. My other devices are able to access the internet via the hotspot.To access some specific websites, I need to use a proxy server, which runs on the Windows local machine on a dedicated port. I have enabled the proxy settings and am able to reach those websites from the Windows machine.Here

Windows 10 Mobile Hotspot Not working

Hi,

Your Bluetooth connection may be enabled which prevents you from setting up your mobile hotspot. To have this addressed, we suggest turning off the Bluetooth connection and see if you're able to set up your mobile hotspot. Follow these steps:

• Open Settings and select Devices.
• Click Bluetooth, then toggle it OFF.

Once done, check if you can now turn on your computer's mobile hotspot. Let us know how it goes.

Regards.

Windows not discovering mobile hotspot

I think you have already answered both of the other points I would have checked so I have nothing else useful to suggest -
- Your computer can detect other 2.4GHz networks/hotspots
- Other computers can detect your phone's 2.4GHz hotspot

I have deliberately altered some Windows settings to hide unwanted local networks [not just stop any connection to them but hide them from appearing in the list of available networks]. But you have not been taking similar measures or you would have said so.

As a final check, see if your phone's mobile hotspot appears in the list of detected networks using
NirSoft WiFiInfoView

Best of luck,
