Don’t want to pay the extra 30 bucks a month for the EVO 4Gs mobile hotspot feature but would still love to teather? Well there are many, many options out there. We’re going to take a look a few of them here.
First we’re going to talk about the ones in the market.
PDAnet is probably the most well known. It’s also available on iPhone, Windows Mobile, BlackBerry, and PalmOS(not WebOS). There is a free version but it doesn’t allow HTTPS connections. A single license will run you $23.95 (on sale right now for 18.95). PDAnet does not require root or any hacks/mods done to your phone. Requires a program to be installed on the PC. PDAnet allows you to tether via Bluetooth as well as USB.
Next is EasyTether. EasyTether comes in a lite version which like PDAnet free does not give you HTTPS connections. Unlike PDAnet though EasyTether is just $9.95. EasyTether also requires a program to be installed on the PC.
Now for the wireless tethering options.
There is Wifi Tethering for root users. Wifi Tethering for root users is free but requires root AND a netfilters enabled kernel.
Barnacle Wifi Tether is also free with a donate version for $1.99. Barnacle unlike Wifi Tethering requires only root access.
The last one I’m going to talk about is the option I used for a few months.
AZILINK is free, works over USB only, has no restrictions, and is also probably the hardest one to setup. I choose this option because it was free and had no restrictions. It has a complicated setup that most people will probably not appreciate.
