Wifi Hotspot / VPN

I have some network resources on my local LAN, which i can access, when i connect to the VPN of my router at home. How can i share this connection with a WiFi hotspot on the same Android device, so that a laptop connected via the WiFi Hotspot, can also access these resources?

You need to set up a VPN client on the laptop and connect that VPN client to the router.

AFAIK Android does not pass hotspot data via it's VPN connection for whatever reason.

I cant install software on that laptop. I have a VPN setup on that laptop, which connects me to my company network. If i disable the VPN and the laptop is in the LAN at home, i can access my home network resources. But the VPN on this machine, prevents me from installing another VPN client like Wireguard and i don't want to change something on the laptop, wich isn't my own device.

However, i can and must use the android phone sometimes, when im underway, to connect to the internet. I can open the wireguard vpn on this phone and can access my resources from home. But this isn't shared with the Wifi hotspot.

I don't know, if a proxy or something similar exists for Android, which allows to share the VPN via WiFi hotspot.

OK, in that case, im out of luck, since the phone is not rooted (and i dont want to root it). But many thx
