TetherFuseNet

Share your Android device's Internet connection with other devices without needing root.

What is TetherFuseNet

TetherFuseNet creates a Wi-Fi Direct legacy group and an HTTP proxy server. Other devices can connect to the broadcasted Wi-Fi network and access the Internet by setting their proxy settings to the server created by TetherFuseNet. You do not need a Hotspot data plan to use TetherFuseNet, but the app works best with unlimited data plans.

TetherFuseNet may be for you if:

- You want to share your Android's Wi-Fi or cellular data. - You have an unlimited data plan and a Hotspot plan from your carrier, but Hotspot has a data cap or throttling. - You do not have a mobile Hotspot plan. - You wish to create a LAN between devices. - Your home router has reached the device connection limit.

How it works

TetherFuseNet uses a foreground service to create a long-running Wi-Fi Direct network that other devices can connect to. Connected devices can exchange network data between each other. The user is in full control of this foreground service and can explicitly choose when to turn it on and off.

TetherFuseNet is still a work in progress and not everything will work. For example, using the app to get an open NAT type on consoles is currently not possible. Using TetherFuseNet for certain online apps, chat apps, video apps, and gaming apps is currently not possible. Some services such as email may be unavailable. General internet browsing should work fine — however, it is dependent on the speed and availability of your Android device's internet connection.
