TetherFi

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

Get TetherFi

or get the APK from the Releases Section.

What is TetherFi

TetherFi works by creating a Wi-Fi Direct legacy group and an HTTP proxy server. Other devices can connect to the broadcasted Wi-Fi network, and connect to the Internet by setting the proxy server settings to the server created by TetherFi. You do not need a Hotspot data plan to use TetherFi.

Please note that TetherFi is still a work in progress and not everything will work. For example, using TetherFi to get an open NAT type on consoles is currently not possible. General "normal" internet browsing should work fine - however, it is dependent on the speed and availability of your Android device's internet connection.

To see a list of apps that are known to not work currently, see the Wiki

TetherFi may be for you if:

• You want to share your Android's Wi-Fi or Mobile Data
• You have an Unlimited Data and a Hotspot plan from your Carrier, but Hotspot has a data cap
• You have an Unlimited Data and a Hotspot plan from your Carrier, but Hotspot has 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

Privacy

TetherFi respects your privacy. TetherFi is open source, and always will be. TetherFi will never track you, or sell or share your data. TetherFi offers in-app purchases, which you may purchase to support the developer. These purchases are never required to use the application or any features.

Development

TetherFi is developed in the open on GitHub at:

https://github.com/pyamsoft/tetherfi
