Ratings and reviews

Works! Your phone is the router. You connect it to a device, which is the server, via USB. The client (some other device) can connect to the server using the IP address of the phone. This app creates a forwarding rule from router to server, pointing to the IP and port of the server within the USB Tether network. Adding another rule from Home Wifi to Phone allows external connection. I noticed one bug. You must restart your phone if the server IP changes. Restarting the rule doesn't work.

i like the app, does what it promises, but please for the love of all that is holy, put in logging! this thing crashes often and i have no idea why, i can't see what it was handling when it crashed, am i being attacked from outside the network? is the app buggy? did my phone just decide to stop trying? i have no means to determine the cause. and sure, using it to route your webserver through your phone to the phone because your phone is serving as your wireless adaptor is probably an unusual use case, but the app crashing and wanting to get an idea of why is not.

This app is very useless, but easy to use at the same time. It couldn't open any port and forward for me through my USB Ethernet neither could it even do the forwarding through WiFi. Nonetheless, it does have a user friendly interface, but doesn't have the ability to forward ports in real time especially if the forwarding is done through Mobile Network. Nonetheless, I would recommend you open and forward a port through the netcat software instead of using this software.
