AdbTether lets your Windows PC use your Android phone's internet — including the VPN on the phone. No root, hotspot, or VPN client on the PC.

Connect your phone, enable debugging, and press Connect. Everything your PC does online goes through the phone: browsing, apps, updates, calls. If the phone is on a VPN, PC traffic exits through it too, so the PC shares the phone's VPN and exit location.

Nothing is installed on the phone: a small helper runs on demand, so Android's battery saver cannot freeze it. On the PC it sets up a virtual network connection in the background.

If the link drops, the PC stays offline instead of falling back to the local network, so traffic cannot leak out. IPv6 is blocked and address lookups stay inside the tunnel. Disconnect removes the routes and DNS settings it added; close the app and the PC is back on its normal network.

Free and open source (MIT). Needs Windows 10 1809+ / 11 (64-bit) and an Android phone with USB or Wi-Fi debugging.
