About
Tether Link Utility is an Android app for sharing mobile data with computers and other phones through a local SOCKS5 proxy. It is designed for situations where mobile carriers treat hotspot or tethered traffic differently from regular on-device data, including separate limits or throttling. The app starts a Wi-Fi hotspot and local proxy from the Android device, then provides the connection details needed by client devices. A QR code combines the Wi-Fi and proxy information to simplify setup, while laptops can use the displayed network credentials and SOCKS5 address manually. The traffic remains within the user's own device and connected hardware rather than passing through a remote VPN or proxy server. The website documents compatibility with Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS clients, with different SOCKS5 configuration methods depending on the platform. The app does not require root access, accounts, or a cloud server.
