# Tethering
|
|
|
|
Tethering describes the sharing of a
|
|
[mobile device's](/wiki/smart_device.md#smartphones-and-tablet-computers) cellular data connection
|
|
with one or more connected computers.
|
|
|
|
Tethering can be achieved by multiple options including [Bluetooth](/wiki/bluetooth.md) and WiFi
|
|
and is usually available in the settings of [Android](/wiki/android.md) and iOS mobile devices.
|
|
|
|
## Reverse Tethering
|
|
|
|
Reverse Tethering describes the sharing of a computers network with a
|
|
[mobile device](/wiki/smart_device.md#smartphones-and-tablet-computers).
|
|
For [Linux](/wiki/linux.md) this can be achieved using [Gnirehtet](/wiki/linux/gnirehtet.md).
|
|
|
|
When using USB- and Reverse Tethering make sure that the host machine does not recognize the USB
|
|
connection towards the mobile device as eithernet connection.
|
|
Otherwise none of the two devices will be able to connect to local or internet pages.
