Here's what a VPN can't protect you from (but you need to use it)

The abbreviation " VPN " has slowly become established among average Internet users, which is certainly good, but the problem is that people have started to see VPN as the ultimate solution to all problems.

Share your internet connection from your computer to Android via USB

Share your internet connection from your computer to Android via USB

Do you have an Android phone and no WiFi nearby? Here's a great solution to share the internet you use on your computer with your Android phone via USB.

This is the  Reverse Tethering method, which means that you will not share the Internet from phone to computer (Tethering) but vice versa, from computer to phone (Reverse Tethering). You don't need a Wireless Card in your computer, or anything else, just a USB cable.

So let's get started

What you need:

  1. Rooted Android phone (Must be Rooted)
  2. USB cable
  3. AndroidTool program (Download)
  4. USB drivers for your device (may help)
  5. ADB (ADB 15 sec installer)

Linkage:

  1. Connect your Android phone via USB.
  2. Turn on „debugging“ mode (Settings > Applications > Development > USB Debugging > Turn On).

Work on the phone:

  1. Transfer the .apk file from the .zip archive you downloaded
  2. Install the .apk file on the phone

Work on computer:

  1. Launch AndroidTool.exe (previously unzip the .zip archive you downloaded)
  2. Click "Refresh" (1) in the upper left corner and you will see your device next to it.
  3. Click on "Check DNS" (2) below and select a number from the two.
  4. And finally "Connect".
  5. Now look at the phone, you will be notified of the permit, just click on "Allow" or "Grant".

Wait a little longer, a few seconds, and when in the lower-left corner of the program it says "Connected!". You did it. Now feel free to go online over the phone and enjoy! ;)

Remark:

Read  the Troubleshooting (FAQ) on the official XDA post -  http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1371345

Recommendation:

Turn off the 3G connection to make sure the Internet doesn't take your credit (Settings > Mobile > Use Packet Access > Off).

Disable SuperUser notifications so that notifications do not appear non-stop on the screen (Menu > Preferences > Notifications part) - turn off the item: "Do not show a notification when an app is granted Su Permissions".

Use Opera Mini (Opera Next).

That would be it.

In the picture below, the arrow shows that the phone is connected and that you can use the Internet. To the right of the arrow, there is no WiFi or 3G icon, which means you do not spend credit or battery because WiFi is turned off;)

To click on the post or not?

Recently, Facebook has been flooded with " click bait " posts, and sometimes you don't know if there is something really useful behind that post or if it's just collecting clicks. There is a plugin that can partially reveal this to you. Nothing special, it's a Chrome extension called " Photo Zoom ". What does he actually do? Enlarges the image you hover over by loading the source address of the image . How can it help? Clickbait posts often "trick" users into clicking with an image (in addition to terrible headlines). They place those pictures so that only a part of them is visible on the Facebook wall and just enough to interest your potential. If you want to see the whole thing, you have to click on the link, which is their goal.
