In scenarios where you must forward web requests through a mobile hotspot Tinyproxy offers a minimalistic yet powerful approach Tinyproxy is a low-resource proxy server compatible with Linux-based platforms making it perfect for aging hardware repurposed as a network gateway

By combining it with an Android phone’s USB or Wi-Fi hotspot you establish a filtered, private gateway for networked devices to access mobile data

First, ensure your Android device is set up for tethering Your options include USB-based sharing or wireless hotspot creation USB tethering is often preferred because it’s more stable and doesn’t require additional wireless configuration Your machine will automatically obtain an IP from the Android device’s network You can check this with the ifconfig or ip addr command to confirm the connection

Begin by adding Tinyproxy via your system’s package manager On Ubuntu, use sudo apt install tinyproxy to install the server etc Several critical settings require adjustment

Configure Listen to bind to your LAN-facing interface’s static or DHCP IP 24 or 10.0.0.0 You may also want to set the Port to 8888, which is the default, or choose another if needed Set LogLevel to Info for balanced visibility and minimal log noise

Reload the proxy with sudo service tinyproxy restart Your Linux box now serves as an intermediary, relaying web requests through your phone’s data link

10.0.0.5

Ideal for corporate, educational, or public spaces needing traffic oversight or to prevent direct exposure of your mobile hotspot to untrusted devices Useful for evading content filters in cafes, schools, or workplaces through your phone’s cellular link
