I am very new to Linux and installed it specifically for this purpose.
A bit of context:
I am trying to connect my PSP(Playstation Portable) to a server for people to team up in Monster Hunter games (Hunsterverse), it was meant to be used with a PPSSPP emulator, running a OpenVPN connection(I believe that is to tunnel all ports into one so that all players can connect and see each other, but please correct me if I'm wrong) but it should be entirely possible to connect to using an actual PSP.
What I need to end up with:
A mobile hotspot, that carries over the OpenVPN connection, and of course the internet connection from the host. The hotspot needs to be secured via WPA(yes I know it's very insecure, but the PSP only supports WPA encryption), and the SSID should be preferably hidden, I need the hotspot's client(the PSP) to access the internet in the exact same way that the host accesses it.
What I have:
I have set up the OpenVPN connection with the Network Manager plugin. And I have tried setting the mobile hotspot up via linux-router, as well as via linux-wifi-hotspot. The PSP can successfully connect to the Hotspot, and in-game it can connect to the game server, I can join lobbies and it shows that there are multiple people connected. But I cannot see them in the game itself, as if I were alone in the lobby, I believe this is a port forwarding issue, but I don't know how to solve this. (Everything works correctly on the host of course. And I am running Ubuntu through a Virtual Machine, the Hotspot is running through an Asus N13 WiFi dongle, if any of that matters.)
Thanks for any help trying to solve this in advance.
