## Install for tethering device

1. Clone the repository `git clone https://github.com/AlphaBs/termux-gnirehtet`
2. Run `pkg update && ./install.sh`.

## How it works

`gnirehtet` was originally for reverse-tethering, sharing PC's internet connection to Android device, using `adb`. I recompiled `gnirehtet` to make it executable on aarch64 Termux.

To run `adb` and connect to another device on Android, I used `termux-adb`.

## Build

### gnirehtet relay server

The binary of relay server (`gnirehtet`) in this repository was built for Termux, `aarch64`. However, you may want to build relay server yourself to run on difference environment.

To build relay server:

1. Install [cargo](https://rustup.rs/) to build Rust.
2. Run `build-gnirehtet.sh` script.

The compiled binary (named `gnirehtet`) will be located in the same directory where the script is executed.

### gnirehtet android app

gnirehtet app would work on most devices so you don't need to build it yourself. The apk file in this repository is from [official gnirehtet release](https://github.com/Genymobile/gnirehtet/releases).

To build the Android app: [gnirehtet/DEVELOP.md](https://github.com/Genymobile/gnirehtet/blob/master/DEVELOP.md)
