ReverseTethering Server

Newest Version: 1.2.2

ReverseTethering Server Requirements

• Java Runtime Environment 1.7 or newer
• x86 Processor (Send me an email if you want to run the server on ARM)

Instructions

1. Enable USB Debugging in the Developer System Settings on your device
2. Connect your device to your computer via a USB cable.
3. If you are using Windows, you have to install USB drivers for your Android device now. These drivers are typically provided by the device manufacturer as a download. For some devices, Windows can automatically find, download and install the drivers when you connect your Android device for the first time. Please note there is a difference between MTP drivers (for file exchange) and ADB drivers (which RevTet needs). Many computers automatically install the MTP drivers, but not the ADB drivers. In order to find the appropriate ADB drivers for your device, please do an Internet research. This page is usually a good starting point.
4. On Linux, you have to set up your system to recognize the Android device. Instructions can be found here (Start with the 3rd point).
5. Download the right archive of the Reverse Tethering server application from below
6. Unzip the downloaded file
7. On macOS: Double-click ReverseTetheringServer.app
   On Windows: Double-click ReverseTetheringServer.exe
   On Linux: Double-Click ReverseTetheringServer.jar

Important: The program only adds an icon to your computer’s notification area, it does not open a window. Details on connection status and a possibility to close the program can be found by right-clicking the notification icon.

The application comes as portable program that can be executed from any directory and does not have to be installed.
