Can I route my phone's wi-if through a raspberry pi?

[2009buddyboy2009]

At school I want to connect my raspberry pi to the schools wi-if, then I want to connect my phone to my raspberry pi, setting up the raspberry pi to act as a vpn. (So the raspberry pi is connected to wi-if, but then I need to somehow get the raspberry pi to repeat that wi-if network and then connect my phone to the raspberry pi, then everything I do on my phone would be encrypted, that way I can stream Pandora since the school blocks it 🙁 My friends all just use a vpn, but my phone is just an off-brand phone with no vpn apps of any sort! So how would I go about doing all this? What would it be called if I were to just google it? Thanks

As someone who runs a business providing internet security to schools...

What are you doing to assume the RaPi is encrypting your connections? If you are are hooking the RaPi to the school and your phone to the RaPi, we'll still see everything you request as the RaPi makes an unencrypted request?

Of course proper security implementations such as ours block access to VPN sites as well...

Your school IT guys don't try hard it is pretty easy to block most vpn but the raspberry is just not powerful enough to do what you want. To make it work with a single wireless radio the school would have to support WPA which hopefully they are not stupid enough to allow. Not sure the raspberry supports 2 wireless cards. Many phones have more cpu power than a raspberry.

Can you list anything you know about this off-brand phone? Like OS, Manufacturer, Model?

Personally, I use a VPN app at school, which is able to tunnel out of the firewall, and let me use Steam.
It's not main stream, but it works.

If you could list details about the phone, I might be able to some digging.
