My Windows laptop connects wirelessly to a LAN (with internet). My Raspberry Pi 3 B+ is wired to the same LAN. I can control the Pi from the Windows laptop using AnyDesk (remote desktop software).

Now I want the Pi never to use the internet from the LAN and instead use internet from an Android phone connected to it via a USB lead. Is this possible?

  • Modern routers can deny internet access of defined IP's – Guy . D Jul 11 '18 at 11:02
  • We have to reconfigure the default route on your raspi. To achieve this we have to know the current settings. Please can edit your question and add the output of ip route before connecting the Android phone and afterwards? And please address me with @Ingo. – Ingo Jul 16 '18 at 21:51

If you enable USB tethering on your Android device, it should be (don't know for sure) visible as a network device on the rpi. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_yhJ_QBfaU

  • I have that working. But how do you ensure that the PI does not use the Internet from the LAN even though it's attached to and controlled through the LAN? – Malcolm Johnson Jul 10 '18 at 15:12
  • You would have to check the routing to see what the default gateway (or routing in general) is. ip route show – eftshift0 Jul 10 '18 at 15:13
