Connect mobile phone using USB cable with FreeBSD machine. On phone choose “USB tethering” for USB. On FreeBSD machine there should appear new network device ue0<\/strong> or something similarly named. You can use for example dhclient ue0<\/strong> to pull IP address for that device and then you can configure routing to use that device as default route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

N.B. If you prefer to use other DNS servers from what mobile provider is offering don’t forget to modify \/etc\/dhclient.conf<\/strong> by adding for example:
interface \"ue0\" {
supersede domain-name-servers 1.1.1.1, 1.0.0.1;
}

Two above are CloudFlare’s, or you can for example use some from OpenNIC<\/a> for free for use, free from tracking and free from censorship DNS servers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
