I have a raspberry pi 3 that I want to make into a tor router to use with my laptop(doesn't have Ethernet port). I have seen tutorials online showing how to do this, but they do not work for what I need to do. What I was thinking of doing was being able to plug the pi into my computer for USB power. Then it would turn on and connect to the WiFi network using the credentials that I would put on there while setting it up. Then it would turn into a tor router and transmit the connection to my computer thru a USB to USB cable. I know that my laptop works with a USB internet because I tethered that way from my phone before. Optionally I would like to be able to prevent connection to certain websites thru the pi. Would anyone know how I could go about doing this. Thank you.

I have a Tilt and expect to stay in a hotel that has Internet access via Ethernet, but no WiFi.
Any ideas on how to best connect my Tilt to their Ethernet?
First idea is maybe a WiFi travel router or AP like the DWL-6730AP, but I hate the idea of carrying along extra equipment when the whole point of the Tilt is to avoid bringing my laptop.
Is there some sort of Ethernet-to-USB dongle?
The Tilt has Ethernet support native. Go to settings, select Wifi & switch to NE2000 Compatible Ethernet Driver.

1. welcome to xda-devs
2. there is no memory card- or USB-based Ethernet interface for the Kaiser, sorry. Ethernet cards have only been produced as CF cards.
You could use something like a Linksys (or any brand, for that matter) WiFi router to do the trick and then connect to it.
You may run into an issue, though, because most hotels have an entry page where you have to accept their terms of service (yes, even the free ones do this) before getting out to the internet. It is possible that your router will not forward that properly to your phone, or that PIE won't render it properly and you won't be able to finish the signup.
Also note that unless you have something like a WRT54G Linksys router with custom firmware (like DD-WRT), you will be double-NATted, which may, in itself, cause problems.
@GSLEON3 - sure, the IP stack in the Tilt supports Ethernet, but you have to get Layer 1 out of the way first - the physical layer. If you can't physically connect an ethernet cable to the phone, how are you gonna get to the internet?
A lot of hotels have WiFi bridges so that you can use wireless-only devices on their network. Maybe they have one available? Then again, now that I think about it, maybe not. I'm thinking of the other way around where you don't have WiFi in your laptop and they only have WiFi, not ethernet connections. Nevermind. It's late...
I *think* this might work.....
Eithernet-to-USB cable
(http://www.ipenabled.com/netusb.html)
Then patch to a female-female USB coupler (http://www.revealcable.co.uk/acatalog/info_1_AA1582.html)
Then connect that to your normal PC sync cable.
Eithernet at one end, microUSB at the other.
The USB on the Kaiser doesn't work that way. It can act like a client (think ext. hard drive) but not a host (your PC). It's the same reason you can't connect an external hard drive to your phone.

I use the 3COM Travel Router (3CRTV10075/WL-534) as its a small portable router with NAT and Firewall (stops others in the hotel from seeing your devices). It can be configured as Router, AP or Client so that in AP mode it will connect directly to the Ethernet connection in a hotel room and you have access for both your phone and laptop.
Thanks for the welcome and the ideas, everybody!
It's a shame the USB port won't work for an Internet connection. Has anyone ever tried just in case?
I guess it's a travel router then, I'll go with the 3Com unless anyone can confirm they have used the tiny Netgear WGR101 successfully.
Is the microSD conector I/O capable?? If so, we can plug there normal ethernet card....
Hello everybody..!I'm wondering how can i make my kaiser(tytn2) phone to connect my laptop to the Internet.What i want to say is that i have a Router on my desktop pc, so i go to my laptop and connect my tytn2 with the laptop via usb(activesync).I want to make laptop to connet to the internet via tytn2!So i want tytn2 to replace a wireles card that i could connect to my laptop via WiFi with this card!Someone who know the way to do it?
It's called tethering. Be careful of usage...if you don't pay for the tethering plan, many providers will charge you for going over a predetermined amount of data transfer. Used sparingly they'll never know.

I guess he wants to use Wifi, not mobile connnection. So, use the phone as a USB Wifi adapter...
I use WMWiFiRouter and it works very well. It creates a wireless access point that uses your phones data connection and requires no cords to tether. It even allows you to share your connection with more than one computer.

sorry i know this is off mobile networking topic but i would like to know if there is a way to connect my pc to a router with out using wires?
please if you can provide step by step instructions
thanks in advance
get a wifi card maybe usb but there are pci ones too
if it's a laptop it may have wifi build in
if your router got wifi
you can just set it up
otherwise you need to replace your router with one with wifi
or you just just buy a wifi router and connect it to your current router
its a desktop and yes my router has wifi but is there a way i can connect my desktop to the router wirelessly?

As stated, you can either buy a PCI card, or a USB adapter for wireless. I believe I've seen the USB adapters for as low as $20 in stores, and you don't have to open up your case.
The step by step for the USB would be (loosely based on general knowledge):
Buy the USB adapter (your router most likely supports B & G, go with G if at all possible, if your router supports N, even better), install the necessary software drivers and such. Make sure your router is configured to accept wireless connections. Go to either http://192.168.1.1 or http://192.168.0.1 depending on the brand, and type admin for the user and admin for the password, unless your router has different configurations. Click on the wireless tab, and follow the settings on screen to setup. Now, try to connect your PC by right clicking on the wireless icon down in the taskbar, and scan for wireless networks. When your's is found, click connect, and enter any password you may have given your wireless connection (recommended), this password is not set by default, usually, and if it is, the password will most likely be listed on your router somewhere.
I hope that helps. This is just assuming a lot of things, though. List what OS you're running, and your router model, and I may be able to give you more advice, or someone else might.
Hi All,
I recently acquired a chromecast and would very much like access to the BBC Iplayer (I live in the netherlands). I can already watch Iplayer on my phone using the VPN option in android but once I try to watch it on chromecast it doesn't start the stream which is probably because the chromecast is connected to my home network which is not behind the VPN. I also can't mirror screen since I loose connection from my phone to the chromecast as soon as I connect my phone to the VPN.
Now I read that it is possible to do with a DDWRT router but I do not have one of those and I wouldn't want my whole network to be on a different IP, just the chromecast & if needed my phone. I do however have something that I would like to consider a lot more powerful than a router, namely a "Server PC" running windows XP professional. Would I be able to use this server and enable the VPN on it and then make the chromecast connect to the server? Would I need 2 USB wireless adapters or 1 (so my phone connects to 1 and the chromecast to the second. My server connects via ethernet to my modem)? Could I somehow configure this USB adapter to be connected to the VPN by default? Could I use virtualization software? I would like the most clean option preferably without affecting the rest of my server (but it would be OK if the server is temporarily in the UK until I have watched the show). Perhaps this topic can be extended to other devices with wireless capabilities like NAS and raspberries etc.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Ok so after some digging I found at least 1 way of doing it: http://alphaloop.blogspot.nl/2014/01/raspberry-pi-as-vpn-wireless-access.html
However I still think this should be possible on a windows XP machine with a wireless adapter.
On many Windows 7 PCs with wi-fi, you can use the following to create a hosted wifi network that your chromecast can connect to:
netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=XXXX key=YYYY
netsh wlan start hostednetwork
if you then share your VPN adapter's internet connection with the hosted wifi that you've created, you can connect your phone and chromecast to the same wifi XXXX and that will be connected to the internet via the VPN on the laptop.
Hi,
I have very bad WIFI signal in my room and my computer is connected via cable to router at 1 Gb/s connection so no problem. The problem is when I try to use my devices in my room that I have very slow speeds on WIFI so I was wondering if I can connect my Lumia 435 to the PC and the Lumia take the computer internet connection and make a hotspot for other devices. It's called reverse tethering but I don't know how to setup this type of connection beetween my PC and Lumia 435 with Windows Phone 8.1
You need a wifi adapter. Is like a usb pendrive.
Have you looked at connectify?
I think that software does that too
If your computer has a WiFi adapter you can easily set it to broadcast as an access point, sharing its wired connection. For Windows, there's a pretty nice program called Virtual Router Manager, though you can do it with nothing but an admin command line and the "netsh" utility (built in).
If your computer doesn't have a WiFi adapter, you can pick one up for cheap (less than $20, usually). I don't know of any way to reverse tether a Windows Phone device, though. The phone can, of course, broadcast a hotspot, but it will only do so to share the cellular connection; it won't share the connection from any other source.
