Features & Capabilities

TetherFuseNet enables sharing your Android device's Internet connection without root by creating a long-running Wi-Fi Direct network via a foreground service. It uses a Wi-Fi Direct legacy group and an HTTP proxy so connected devices can access the Internet through the proxy.

It's open source and privacy-friendly: the project is developed in the open on GitHub, and there is no data tracking or selling. In-app purchases are optional to support the developer. The app is a work in progress; some services may not work yet, and the wiki lists known-not-working apps.

User Reviews

Overall sentiment is strongly positive. Users report it works well, is open-source and ad-free, and is easy to set up with helpful in-app instructions. It provides reliable tethering via Wi‑Fi Direct and USB, and includes useful proxy support. However, some apps and VPNs (notably Roblox/Steam and Plex) may not work consistently, and there are intermittent connectivity issues in certain setups. Linux users note a less seamless experience requiring manual configuration. Despite these caveats, many reviewers praise the app as fast, practical, and cost-effective.

Pros

Reliable tethering that works as described for general internet use.
Open-source and ad-free; strong developer/community support.
Easy to set up with in-app guided instructions and helpful proxy configuration.
Supports Wi-Fi Direct and USB tethering; works across Windows and other platforms.
Proxy support with straightforward manual proxy setup.

Cons

Incompatibility with certain apps/games and VPNs (notably Roblox, Steam, Plex) leading to connection errors or workarounds.
Intermittent connectivity issues in certain setups: sometimes the SSID isn’t found or connections drop (including after updates or with the screen off).
Linux cross-platform limitations: requires manual configuration or file edits, not a one-click experience.

Impressive. Works good with proton VPN. Solved my buffering issues. service providers are annoying. My setup with proton gets blocked by YouTube and Amazon. Sometimes I can get in to YouTube. it's a coin flip. YouTube always states that my connection is not secure. I did leak tests. found nothing. In fact some leak tests won't even work. They go to process screen and get stuck. Checked against deep packet inspection. by using Chinese apps. use mock location. Chinese only see the time zone.

this! well done Dev!! anyone having difficulty, don't give up! take a break, have a coffee, and just read thru every word on each tab in the app. the setup tab will auto-populate once you start it up going thru options on first two tabs. anyways, reading carefully, which I wasn't after a month I was able to setup ad-hoc WiFi direct AP and WiFi debug/adb. still No data share until reread fine print, manual add ip and port on the connecting devices WiFi details. first time the connection shows too
