Re: NetworkManager Applet Proxy settings for PDANet+

i use pdanet on linux all the time. most apps you can set a proxy, but for apps that don't have a proxy settings you can use proxychains

open terminal
and your command will be proxychains + your app (e.g.:

proxychains firefox

or

proxychains qbittorrent

let me rewind

step 1: install proxychains

sudo apt install proxychains

step 2: configure /etc/proxychains.conf to contain the following text:

strict_chain
proxy_dns 
[ProxyList]
socks5 192.168.49.1 8000

step 3: execute via proxychains, e.g.

proxychains apt update

proxychains transmission-gtk

Re: NetworkManager Applet Proxy settings for PDANet+

That looks like it would have solved my issue of needing to route apps through a proxy that didnt have settings for it, I'm assuming this would work for 'rclone' cloud syncing.

although I no longer have need for mobile tethering in my work truck nor do I have a Linux laptop anymore, Thank you for taking the time and posting this helpful information.
