Re: [PLUG] Android - Ubuntu tether without rooting

[Lee Marzke <lee@marzke.net>]

I'm running  Android 2.1 on Samsung Moment ( Sprint ),    this doesn't have the tether option that
is in Android 2.2

Yes easytether appears to be a real USB tether,  you start easytether on the phone,  and then run a binary on Ubuntu
which creates a easytether0 device,   they run dhclient easytether0 to get an IP.     Free at the moment.

I was able to run normal apps as well as  OpenVPN (udp)  over the link.

I was able to use 3G on the phone or the phones WiFi.    I only used it for about a hour so far with no
issues.

Is this true tethering?  I've been using proxoid which runs a proxy server on the phone.   I've been configuring Ubuntu to use a system wide proxy when I'm on the go.  Proxoid is totally free.  Do you think easy tether is better?

Thanks,

Michael
