Free no-root way to tether Android to Linux (MX Linux) while hiding from carrier? (PdaNet alternative)

Hey everyone,

I’m looking for a free and no-root solution to share my Android phone’s internet with my MX Linux laptop (USB or WiFi) while trying to avoid carrier tethering detection.

I’ve used PdaNet+ on Windows before and liked the “hide tether usage” feature. Now I’m on Linux and want something similar that doesn’t require root or paid apps.

What I’ve already tried / know about:

  • Native USB tethering + TTL=65 on Linux
  • TetherFuseNet / TetherFi
  • NetShare free version
  • PdaNet+ free version (with the reconnect timer)

Does anyone have a currently working free + no-root method that works well on Linux in 2026? Especially something that helps hide the tethered traffic from the carrier.

Any recommendations, scripts, or Magisk-free tricks would be really appreciated. Thanks!

Need HELP Troubleshooting Astigmatism on my DIY 150/900 Newtonian

Hello everyone

I’m currently building a custom 150/900 Newtonian Reflector. I'm using Tejraj first-surface mirrors and a 3D printed secondary cell. But I have made some mistake somewhere that i can't figure out can you pls help me.

When I look at the Moon it's crystal clear. But Jupiter looks like a smeared oval, especially through my 4mm eyepiece.

I did the in-and-out focus test to make sure it wasn't just coma from bad colimation. When I turn the focuser all the way in, and then out past perfect focus, the oval flips exactly 90 degrees. So it's definitly astigmatism.

. i have mounted both the primary and secondary using clear silicone sealant.

I used the toothpick method for both to be safe. Just 3 thick blobs of silicone in a triangle, layed some toothpicks down next to them, and gently pressed the glass until it just touched the wood. Waited 24 hours and pulled the toothpicks out. Now both mirrors are perfectly floating on squishy rubber pillars with a nice air gap underneath. No mounting stress at all.

But... the 90 degree flipping astigmatism is still there. I know it is not my eye because the tilt of the oval does not turn when I turn my head. Can you please guy's help i am adding photos of my telescope and how jupiter looks on it pls help
