I am running CentOS 6 and was able to tether my HTC phone using a proxy called proxoid . This allows me to redirect HTTP. But how do I redirect the entire TCP traffic, e.g. if I need to setup openvpn connection to my VPN server?

It seems it can be done because software similar to proxoid (exactly same principles, e.g. easytether), which sets up network adapter. I couldn't find anything on internet perhaps because I don't have the right keywords - maybe this is a virtual network adapter that I am trying to setup?

With my HTC WildFire and my , I just have to enable USB tethering and then plug the USB cable into both my PC and the device. Then in a as root run the following commands:

# modprobe usbnet # if not already loaded # ip link set usb0 up && dhcpcd usb0

if you don't have dhcpcd, try typing dhctab.

If no problem occurs, you'll be able to list interfaces and IP with:

$ ip a s

and you will see a line for usb0 (or such).

Under Fedora some phones get recognized and appear directly under the NetworkManager menu (my Samsung Galaxy and now Galaxy III get recognized immediately). CentOS 6 is similar to recent Fedora, this should also work (specially if you got it to work as you say). Just make sure that the tethering is configured in the phone.
