My first idea was to use an USB-to-Ethernet adapter.

That was my first idea too but I ruled it out on the principle that I shouldn’t need to buy more hardware. I also assumed that couldn’t be easy to attach to an unrooted phone.

It works pretty much out of the box on Android I use a cheap gigabit one.

Good to know. I think I have an old no-name one in storage I might dig out & try at some point. But that effort is worse than buying one. So for the moment I’m stuck with attempting reverse tethering.

I love the swiss-army-knife that #openVPN could have been, had they not tried to nanny users by forcing encryption.
