Here's the situation:
My main computer (host) is running Windows 10 and is connected to my router via ethernet.
I usually have OpenVPN client running connected to my workplace network.
I occasionally disconnect from my OpenVPN and use a custom client from supermagictotalawesomedotcomevpn.com in order to bypass geo-restrictions to enable me to view media from my home country. This uses the Wireguard protocol.
It would be convenient if I could host a WiFi network on my computer to share whichever connection is active on the computer with my phone, laptop etc, enabling all devices to either have access to my workplace or supermagic vpn.
I originally though of using WiFi hotspot, but this only allows you to share one connection; one of the two vpns, or the plain old ethernet connection.
I then thought of bridging the ethernet, OpenVPN and supermagic connection, and sharing the bridged connection. This seems to work with the OpenVPN connection, but once superawesome is added, the host loses all access to the internet. Whats more, superawesome seems to create a new virtual network adapter in windows network device manager when creating a new connection, and deletes it when the connection is closed. Therefore I the whole automated aspect of this is lost.
What I am looking for is a way to create a wifi network which will share the internet of my Win10 host, whatever connection that may be. I came across a software package called "Virtual Router Plus" but this doesn't seem to have been updated since 2016 and doesn't even say if it will achieve what I want... I think it's basically a hotspot application for pre Windows 10. Obviosuly any Google search for something like "Windows 10 virtual router software" just brings up a bunch of tutorials on how to set up the build in hotspot, so nothing useful there.
I'm not looking to spend any significant money so a new hardware router is out of the question. Switching my main OS to Linux is also not an option. So is what I want to achieve possible using just Windows 10? Or am I SOL?
