When you need to route your internet traffic through an Android device using tethering Tinyproxy can be a lightweight and effective solution Tinyproxy is a compact, open-source HTTP proxy designed for Linux making it excellent for embedded systems such as Pi devices acting as intermediaries

By combining it with an Android phone’s USB or Wi-Fi hotspot you can create a secure and controlled way to share your mobile data connection with other devices on your network

Start by configuring your phone’s connection sharing options Your options include USB-based sharing or wireless hotspot creation USB tethering is often preferred because it’s more stable and doesn’t require additional wireless configuration After connecting, your Linux system receives an IP via the phone’s DHCP server You can check this with the ifconfig or ip addr command to confirm the connection

Next, install Tinyproxy on your Linux system On Ubuntu, use sudo apt install tinyproxy to install the server After installation, edit the configuration file located at You must configure these essential parameters

Specify the internal IP address of your proxy server on the local subnet Change Allow to permit access from your local subnet, such as 192.168.1.0 You can customize the port number to avoid conflicts or meet security requirements Make sure the LogLevel is set to Info so you can monitor what’s happening without being overwhelmed by logs

Reload the proxy with sudo service tinyproxy restart Your Linux box now serves as an intermediary, relaying web requests through your phone’s data link

Configure any client device to route traffic through 192.168.0.10:8888

Ideal for corporate, educational, or public spaces needing traffic oversight or to prevent direct exposure of your mobile hotspot to untrusted devices It can also help bypass network restrictions in places like offices or public Wi-Fi networks by routing traffic through your phone’s data plan

By default, Tinyproxy does not proxy non-HTTP traffic Extend functionality using tools like Squid, Polipo, or SSH dynamic forwarding Be aware that your cellular data allowance still applies—track usage via your carrier app

With Tinyproxy and Android tethering, you have a low cost, low power solution that turns your phone into a gateway for your entire network The process is straightforward, requires minimal upkeep, and grants complete routing oversight
