gnirehtet's Introduction

Gnirehtet (v2.5.1)

This project provides reverse tethering over adb for Android: it allows devices to use the internet connection of the computer they are plugged on. It does not require any root access (neither on the device nor on the computer). It works on GNU/Linux, Windows and Mac OS.

Currently, it relays TCP and UDP over IPv4 traffic, but it does not support IPv6 (yet?).

This project is not actively maintained anymore, only major blockers (like build issues) are fixed. It should still work, though.

Flavors

Two implementations of Gnirehtet are available:

one in Java;
one in Rust.

Which one to choose?

Use the Rust implementation. The native binary consumes less CPU and memory, and does not require a Java runtime environment.

The relay server of Gnirehtet was initially only implemented in Java. As a benefit, the same "binary" runs on every platform having Java 8 runtime installed. It is still maintained to provide a working alternative in case of problems with the Rust version.

Requirements

The Android application requires at least API 21 (Android 5.0).

For the Java version only, Java 8 (JRE) is required on your computer. On Debian-based distros, install the package openjdk-8-jre.

adb

You need a recent version of adb (where adb reverse is implemented, it works with 1.0.36).

It is available in the Android SDK platform tools.

On Debian-based distros, you can alternatively install the package android-tools-adb.

On Windows, if you need adb only for this application, just download the platform-tools and extract the following files to the gnirehtet directory:

adb.exe
AdbWinApi.dll
AdbWinUsbApi.dll

Make sure you enabled adb debugging on your device(s).

Get the app

Homebrew

If you use Homebrew, getting up and running is very quick. To install the Rust version:

brew install gnirehtet

Then extract it. The archive contains:

Run (simple)

Note: On Windows, replace ./gnirehtet by gnirehtet in the following commands.

The application has no UI, and is intended to be controlled from the computer only.

If you want to activate reverse tethering for exactly one device, just execute:

./gnirehtet run

Reverse tethering remains active until you press Ctrl+C.

On Windows, for convenience, you can double-click on gnirehtet-run.cmd instead (it just executes gnirehtet run, without requiring to open a terminal).

The very first start should open a popup to request permission:

A "key" logo appears in the status bar whenever Gnirehtet is active:

Alternatively, you can enable reverse tethering for all connected devices (present and future) by calling:

./gnirehtet autorun

Run

You can execute the actions separately (it may be useful if you want to reverse tether several devices simultaneously).

Start the relay server and keep it open:

./gnirehtet relay

Install the apk on your Android device:

./gnirehtet install [serial]

In another terminal, for each client, execute:

./gnirehtet start [serial]

To stop a client:

./gnirehtet stop [serial]

To reset the tunnel (useful to get the connection back when a device is unplugged and plugged back while gnirehtet is active):

./gnirehtet tunnel [serial]

The serial parameter is required only if adb devices outputs more than one device.

For advanced options, call ./gnirehtet without arguments to get more details.

Run manually

The gnirehtet program exposes a simple command-line interface that executes lower-level commands. You can call them manually instead.

To start the relay server:

./gnirehtet relay

To install the apk:

adb install -r gnirehtet.apk

To start a client:

adb reverse localabstract:gnirehtet tcp:31416
adb shell am start -a com.genymobile.gnirehtet.START \
    -n com.genymobile.gnirehtet/.GnirehtetActivity

To stop a client:

adb shell am start -a com.genymobile.gnirehtet.STOP \
    -n com.genymobile.gnirehtet/.GnirehtetActivity

Environment variables

ADB defines a custom path to the adb executable:

ADB=/path/to/my/adb ./gnirehtet run

GNIREHTET_APK defines a custom path to gnirehtet.apk:

GNIREHTET_APK=/usr/share/gnirehtet/gnirehtet.apk ./gnirehtet run

Why gnirehtet?

rev <<< tethering

gnirehtet's Issues

gnirehtet can not run as service in Android

After running the relay server with javaw -jar relay.jar, I ran the command adb -s %serial% shell am startservice -a com.genymobile.gnirehtet.START --esa dsnServers 8.8.8.8 in command prompt. But that gave some error.

Starting service: Intent { act=com.genymobile.gnirehtet.START (has extras) }
Error: Requires permission android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS

My smartphone is Redmi 3S with MIUI8 and Android 6.0.1. What is that error? How do I solve that?

version 2 for windows 32bit

Im not able to run the application since its for 64 bit only. Is there any for 32bit? my windows is 32bit version.

im trying to reverse tethering my android version 7.1.1 using gnirehtet

Issue with Kingdom Hearts Union x

It times out when downloading the full game by tapping the Download button when its shown after completing the tutorial stages of it.

Issues with nPerf

When I run the full speed test, I am noticing the following issues:

The Upload Speed starts out high then gets really low at the end.
It cannot determine the Latency.
Some sites it uses for the Site Load Speed test are timing out.

Using it wirelessly

Is it possible to do so or not?

Issue with Netflix

When reverse tethering via gnirehtet, Netflix takes longer to load when ran.

Does not work for Android 4.2.2

Gnirehtet is made for android versions older than 4.2.2 because I have a mobile with that version and it does not work for me. My email is [email protected]

Google Play Store

I think it should be put on there so that way more people will be using it. All that would need to be changed is the inclusion of a GUI that tells the user to download and run the relay server on his/her PC with a link to it (and possibly statistics of the connection) in the app.

Log File collection

I am attaching my log file to see if it can help fix any issues with it. If anyone else has one, feel free to attach it in a comment.

Unable to use gnirehtet on LG G5 H830

Phone: LG G5 H830 w/ latest software: Android 7.0, September security patch.
PC: Windows 10 16299.19

I have installed LG drivers on my Windows 10 PC. A different reverse tethering app (ReverseTethering) works okay (although Google Play won't use the connection), so I think this should work.

Anyway, I run gnirehtet-run.cmd on my PC, I click OK when prompted by the gnirehtet app on my phone, I get a key in the notification tray... but none of the apps seem to want to connect and work. There's plenty of traffic, mostly to DNS, but not luck from there.

Fixing the issues mentioned by Android Studio

Maybe you could fix the ones that are mentioned by it when analyzing the source code.

My Android cannot connect to its relay server

Inconsistent behavior with Play Store updates

Not sure if this is a bug in the Play Store, but I generally find that updates can't be downloaded if wifi and data are both turned off. Instead of using the relay, the app will claim there is no connection available.

Briefly enabling the mobile data connection makes it work, and thereafter I can disable it again to download the updates via gnirehtet...

Issue with using Pi-hole as its custom DNS

Some ads aren't being blocked when using a Raspberry Pi that has Pi-hole running as the custom DNS. I added the lists that are in the app (which is called Blokada) that I am using on the tablet (which does block the problematic ads) but they are still showing up every so often in the "Free Video chat online" app (NSFW).

Make gnirehtet run whenever I plug in my device

Currently, I have to run the command gnirehtet each time I connect my phone to my computer. Is there a way to start the gnirehtet server so it waits in the background and activates reverse tethering every time I plug my phone in?

gnirehtet.exe deletes itself

I have managed to get gnirehtet to work but after about 5 seconds it stops working, closer inspection reveals the file does not exist anymore. (Rust version)

Can't think of much to add, antivirius doesn't complain and no apparent errors.

Windows 10 Pro & Android 6 (Moto G2)

[Suggestion] Automatic reconnect

Could you please add function to the Android app or to the desktop one, so gnirehtet will be reconnected after was disconnected due to USB cable unplug (Once USB is plugged again I mean). So you don't need to restart desktop app in order to reconnect your device (I currently haven't found yet command to reconnect it from the device).

Thank you for great app!

Version 1.0.1 crashes on start

Configuration: macOS, Android 5.0.1, Samsung S4
Steps to reproduce:

S4 doesn't have any gnirehtet version installed,
in terminal execute: ./gnirehtet rt
Expected behaviour: App is installed, service started and running.
Actual behaviour: App crashes on phone. Terminal stays with I Main: Starting server...
Suspected reason: Low API level. App should support it by specification, no?

Terminal log:

Long-lived connection uploading lot of data dropping

Trying to do a speedtest, I noticed the upload was rather low. At the same time there were a lot of errors like these:

2017-09-25 16:25:16.323 INFO TcpConnection: 10.0.0.2:58359 -> 84.39.33.42:8080 Open

Trying to scp a large file, the transfer never started as seemingly every single TcpConnection is closed with an Unexpected first packet.
Using nc instead, the transfer starts and is rather fast until nc says connection reset by peer which happens at the same time as an Unexpected first packet.

Suggestion for a service to turn off when its in use

It should turn off the Wifi connection when the client is started and turn it back on when the client is stopped.

Issue with Digimon Links (Android Game)

Hi, gnirehtet is an amazing program and is a complete savior to me.

I am having an issue with the game Digimon Links, and I have never had a problem with any other game or app before while using this program. This may not even be a problem with gnirehtet, it may be with the app.

The game boots and loads fine, but after a battle the game is stuck on the loading screen and my android is showing that no data is being downloaded or uploaded at all during this time. Gnirehtet is still running during this. I have tried both the Java and Rust versions and nothing has changed.

I have been thinking this might be a problem with Digimon Links not registering (or being built to use) a VPN or tethering, if that is what gnirehtet actually does. I am not sure what the problem is really. The program works with all the other online mobile games I have tried, such as Summoners War.

I'm not sure what I could do about this problem or if it is even a gnirehtet problem. Any insight would be helpful.

Edit: The game loads after the battle if I stop the program and restart it with ./gnirehtet run. It's annoying to have to keep restarting the program.

Failure to connect to Android 7.1.2

Hello, I’m trying to start gnirehtet, but unsuccessfully. I’m getting the notification on the android device (7.1.2), but I’m unable to click ok(it’s not possible), only cancel. The device is an Nexus 5x, build number N2G470

Previous VPN settings suggestion

The previous VPN should be disabled when the client is started and enabled when the client is stopped.

Only few apps are working via gnirehtet

Whatsapp, Telegram and Facebook work.
Downloads with Flud (Torrent) works
but regular downloads/browsing doesn't work

OS : Android 7.1.2

Gnirehtet disconnected from relay server

Whenever I connect my phone to pc and type the command gnirehtet rt it starts the server and installs the file on my phone I get the vpn sign as well on my phone but I instantly get the notification from Gnirehtet on my phone that "Disconnected from relay server"

I've tried using multiple cables so its not the cable or the usb port

ARM Linux Version

Hello Gnirehtet is really a great tool.
Is there a possibility to have the RUST Version compiled for an ARM architecture?

I'm running it on a Raspi3 as a tether box.

Obviously less CPU consumption would be an enormous advantage. , since with the java version transmit speed only reaches arround 50 kbit/s.

Thank you very much for your great work!

Raspbian Jessie 8 with Acer B3-A330

Hello,
Previously I had opened an issue about connecting Nexus 5X, which was resolved. Now I have another problem, but this time with an Acer tablet B3-A330 with Android 6.0. On Windows 7 it worked perfectly, but I'm trying to use it on Raspberry Pi with Raspbian Jessie 8, and I can't connect it. Attached you can find logcat output

gnirehtet cannot read error

I was using gnirehtet without problem, but people of the sistem area modified the IP of my PC and now it gives me error, it says : “cannot read”.

2017-08-24 18:20:49.926 I UDPConnection: UDP 10.0.0.2:48184 -> 8.8.8.8:53 Open
2017-08-24 18:20:52.431 E TCPConnection: TCP 10.0.0.2:39669 -> 157.240.12.36:443 Cannot read

The apps it not working (whatsapp, messenger, facebook, etc.)
How do I solve the problem?

Auto stop gnirehtet app when disconnected

In #49, we managed to come up with a script that automatically reestablishes the connection - which is great.

Now I also have a usb wired ethernet device, that I use alternatively with this reverse tethering solution. However, when the gnirehtet app is running on the device - and it stays running after pulling the plug - I cannot use the wired ethernet device until I stop gnirehtet. Then ethernet works, and when I switch back to reverse tethering, that works as well, as #49 restarts the app on the device.

So all I seem to need now to be 100% happy with this great tool, is the app to auto-stop when the usb cable is disconnected. Does it make sense to keep it running after unplugging in the first place? Because unplugging and replugging does not do the trick even when the app is running - hence the need for the script in #49 - and #49 does not require the app to stay running either. So unless there are scenarios I am not aware off, the gnirethet app should auto stop by default.

Notification Support

It would be nice if the app had a notification that provided some details of the connection.

Change TCP port in both relay and client

Both client and server connect to each other with TCP port 31416. I find the port in two .java files

relay/src/main/java/com/genymobile/relay/Relay.java
app/src/main/java/com/genymobile/gnirehtet/RelayTunnel.java

The code:: private static final int DEFAULT_PORT = 31416;

Questions::

Can I change that port number just by editing?
Should I do in in both .java files?
Can the port be set to any random port with adb reverse command?

API < 21 support

I have an API 19 tablet that for whatever reason has defective/inconsistent wifi capabilities. I'd like to fork this project to provide support for API 19 at least. My question then is why is min API set at 21, is it just for UI compatability/simplicity issue or is there some network API's on 21? Im not very familiar with low-level Android network API's so any help is appreciated, thanks.

Can't connect to internet

Hi,

I'm having problems trying to reverse tether my android device (Galaxy S4 i9505, Lineage OS 14.1). I have enabled USB debugging, installed Android Debug Tools, the latest JRE, and Git Bash on Windows, extracted the gnirehtet files on the same folder as adb, manually installed the apk via cmd.exe, and am currently using a batch file to automatically start the relay server and client. The key icon appears on my device, and a whole lot of TCP and UDP connections show up on my command prompt window.

However, internet connection on my device is not established, for any app. I had a feeling WhatsApp might not work because I'm using my company workstation to reverse tether and they block IPs from them, but even things like opening the Google web page on Chrome don't work.

Attached is the logcat initiated just before starting the relay and client connections, and opening the Chrome app and trying to connect to UOL (news website) and Google. Does this help?

adb reverse --list tells me reverse forwarding is enabled: (reverse) tcp:31416 tcp:31416
netstat -na | find "31416" tells me the relay server is listening: TCP 127.0.0.1:31416 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING

Thanks!

Launching program from outside it's directory causes it to fail in locating relay.jar

This can cause issues when trying to write scripts that reside outside the project's directory.

Google Store Unavailable

Cannot install or update apps from Google Store any more. Gnirehtet used to work fine with Google Store under Andriod 6.0.1 (marshmallow). Since installation of Android 7.0 (nougat) connection with Google Store is not working. Message on phone when tap on Google Store: "No Internet connection. Make sure that Wi-Fi or cellular mobile data is turned on, then try again".

Other Internet access are fine. I can browse with Chrome no problem. That is working fine. My only alternative for now on Google Store is free Wi-Fi.

Issue with downloading files hosted via HFS

When I download a large file that has been hosted via HFS (http://www.rejetto.com/hfs/) when connected via gnirehtet, the speed of the download fluctuates and I notice lots of "ignoring packet" and "unexpected first packet" errors in the log.

Icon for shortcut to batch file

It would be nice if one was made.

Feature: Proxy support

I think the best next feature should be socks proxy support or http proxy support. What do you think? How complex it would to add this?
Do you have any idea where the proxy should be placed? I could try to do it myself if you don't have the time...

Screen turns off & connection disconnects

On my HUAWEI honor 6X, the connection gets disconnected whenever the phones display goes to sleep

Batch files, etc. to launch it hidden with the output redirected to a log file

I have made a ZIP file containing the files needed for it to do what I wrote about in the title and am attaching it to this issue. You can modify the batch files accordingly. I hope it helps :).

EDIT: I am replacing it with a better version.

gnirehtet.zip

Can't run it. Device 'd:' not found

// I wrote following line in terminal, next 3 lines are output written by ghirehtet:
./gnirehtet rt
Starting gnirehtet...
'adb' -s 'd:' reverse tcp:31416 tcp:31416
error: device 'd:' not found
// Dialog should appear but it doesn't

Siera macOS 10.12.4,
adb 1.0.39
Android 5.0.1, Samsung (I know, I am sorry)

// If I manually install, than execute:
adb reverse tcp:31416 tcp:31416
adb shell am startservice -a com.genymobile.gnirehtet.START
// => Dialog appears as expected

Viber

I made some tests and it seems that if viber is closed and I start gnirehtet then viber can't connect online. But if I have viber running and connected online via gprs and then start gnirehtet and shutdown gprs then viber stays connected and works ok.

Stack trace when waking up the device

Hi,

When I turn back on my device with an already existing connection, I get this stack trace on the relay side :

Everything seems to be working fine otherwise but I thought I'd let you know. Should I be running it as sudo ?
