Can Linux Mint serve as a VPN Hotspot?

I want to dual boot Linux Mint and Windows 11 but on Windows 11 I have this VPN called ‘Hotspot Shield’ and I can use the Hotspot feature to share my VPN connection to other devices that can’t install a VPN.

Is there a way to do this exact thing on Linux Mint?

Also can linux mint run SteamVR with steam link on Quest 3?

I do this with an Alpine VM on my server, it has a VPN connection to Proton and shares that connection to other machines via the proxy server squid.

squid is available in LinuxMint

I do have a dns leak on the proxy client using this setup, for my particular use case that’s not a concern, but it might be for others.
