You will need do a reverse tether. As far as I know, the phone must be rooted for this to be done.
Here are instructions at XDA Developers - HOWTO: Ubuntu USB reverse tethering
Here's the closest to a "one-click" solution that I got to.
Prerequisites
Rooted Android device
Root access on the PC
ADB installed on the PC (apt-get install android-tools-adb
on Debian-based distros)
USB Debugging enabled on Android
Procedure
Run the following script:
#!/bin/bash
WAN="wlan1" # interface providing internet connection on the PC
LAN="usb0" # usb interface on the PC
AND="rndis0" # usb interface on Android
LAN_IP="10.0.0.1"
AND_IP="10.0.0.10"
NETMASK="255.255.255.0"
DNS1="8.8.8.8"
DNS2="8.8.4.4"
sudo su -c "echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward"
sudo iptables -F -t nat
sudo iptables -F FORWARD
sudo iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o $WAN -j MASQUERADE
sudo iptables -A FORWARD -i $WAN -o $LAN -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
sudo iptables -A FORWARD -i $LAN -o $WAN -j ACCEPT
sudo ifconfig $LAN $LAN_IP netmask $NETMASK up
adb shell su -c busybox ifconfig $AND $AND_IP netmask $NETMASK up
adb shell su -c busybox route add default gw $LAN_IP
adb shell su -c ndc resolver setifdns $AND "" $DNS1 $DNS2
adb shell su -c ndc resolver setdefaultif $AND
adb shell ping -c4 $DNS1
adb shell ping -c4 google.com
Done!
Notes
You probably need to adjust the interface names LAN
, WAN
and AND
.
I found that some apps would either not recognize the network connection or only work partially. I was able to fool them using Fake Wifi Connection module for the Xposed Framework
