People are joking about this but I have a toilet where the large button is for a half flush. Pressing the small button depresses both buttons performing a regular flush. I have never found another toilet like this, thank the stars!

We have a winner 😁

I understand your concerns about authenticity, but I assure you that the members of this forum are real individuals with diverse opinions and experiences. It’s natural to be cautious, but many people genuinely engage in discussions, share their thoughts, and learn from one another. The presence of AI chatbots doesn’t diminish the value of human interaction and perspectives that you can find here. Your contributions can still spark meaningful conversations and connections.

Good solution but some network providers look for Windows / Mac exclusive traffic, headers or some-such shutting down your connection immediately. I had some success tethering Linux machines tho :P Modern Windows likes to phone-home imminently upon establishing an internet connection, not to mention windows updates and a whole host of windowsness. The anti-tether developers were no doubt spoilt for choice with the amount of flags windows sends!

Okay, so note that this script is over 8 years old now but if you google some of the lines or ask in a Linux / Android board they may be able to help you get this working if it doesn’t as-is:

So, connect to your vpn on your phone and activate hotspot. Before connecting to it simply type these lines into the terminal (Think I used to use the Terminal Emulator app). You’ll have to run the “su” command first to get root access:

iptables --flush
iptables -t filter -F FORWARD
iptables -t nat -F POSTROUTING
iptables -t filter -A FORWARD -j ACCEPT
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -j MASQUERADE

That should be all you need… Unless something’s changed in later android versions. I saved the above as a .sh script so I didn’t have to copy-paste every line every time

This is the reason I was forced to use android and root my phone. I used a custom ROM to bring back the tethering option then connect to a VPN and used the rooted terminal to mess with the iptables and routing to mask the fact I was tethering. Uuuugh, I don’t miss those days. Luckily the market changed in my country and went the other direction so I don’t have to deal with this anymore… Still have the old shell scripts saved tho ;)
