About this app

re-Link is a network tool allowing your Android device to use your computer's network connection via reverse tethering over USB.

In order to share the connection from your computer, a relay application needs to be installed first. It is available for Win10+, MacOS and linux and can be downloaded from https://re-link.io/install#setup-relay.
Once installed, start the relay and plug your android device via USB. All the network traffic of your device is now flowing through the computer's connection. Your device have now access to the internet even if no cellular or WiFi is available. Moreover, it will also have access to the resources and services in the local area network.

WIRED CONNECTION RELIABILITY

By leveraging re-Link, Android devices can harness the blazing-fast Ethernet connection of your PC or access exclusive network resources that are restricted only to the computer, eliminating the need for additional VPN licenses.

UNCOMPROMISING SECURITY

Some apps does not work because they show error message that you are not connected with wifi or cellular data,re link uses vpn method which cause this issue, if it is possible that, it makes android think that it is connect to wifi or cellular data... Then this problem can be solved. And if this happens than my 5 stars are ready👍🏻

Hello, can you send us the name of those apps that are not working when re-Link is used at support@list.curious-company.com ? The connectivity is properly notified by re-Link to Android, and the apps we tried are working as expected (Youtube, PlayStore, etc..). Unfortunaltely some apps check for WiFi specifically, which is not a good practice :(

This app works as intended but it disables the ability to use adb command line forever for device you setup this app (to be specific adb works for the laptop on other device but where you setup re-link on android devices loses ability to communicate with that setup on complementary setup laptop adb command line will work on other device which you haven't setup with other devices) and as another dev I have high hopes for this app but it was crashed when this happened to disable adb. due to cert.

Hi, indeed, on Windows only, our driver is needed and it doesn't support ADB. We are trying to make it work, but in the mean time, you have to manually uninstall our driver to use adb again: while the device is connected, start Windows "Peripheral manager", locate your phone and in the "details" view, you'll find the "Remove driver" button.

What’s new

re-Link: reverse tethering made easy!
Install the relay on your computer from https://www.re-link.io/install#setup-relay . Plug your Android device to the computer via USB and that's it: enjoy a fast and reliable wired connection on your Android.

New in version 2.0.13:
- fix an issue with Firefox v141 crashing due to re-Link declaring a "null" proxy instead of no proxy.
