tethering droid to ubuntu hardy

I don't know why nowhere on the web I can find this information. For the record, here are the steps:

1. Download azilink from http://code.google.com/p/azilink/. There are two files: the apk file and the zip file. Apk is to be downloaded on the phone. The zip file is to be downloaded to the Linux host.



2. Install openvpn on linux



% sudo apt-get install openvpn




3. Install adb on linux, if you haven't done so. Go to android sdk download page, download the one for linux, then extract the executable named adb.
   
   
4. Unpack azilink.zip. You'll need just one file, azilink.ovpn. Edit this file and add the following line
   
   

   proto tcp-client

   
   
   The overall file should look something like below:
   
   

   
   dev tun
   
   proto tcp-client
   remote 127.0.0.1 41927 tcp-client
   ifconfig 192.168.56.2 192.168.56.1
   route 0.0.0.0 128.0.0.0
   route 128.0.0.0 128.0.0.0
   socket-flags TCP_NODELAY
   #keepalive 10 30
   ping 10
   dhcp-option DNS 192.168.56.1
   

   
   
   
5. Start azilink on the phone. It's an icon that looks like a small moth. Check "Service active" checkbox.
   
   
6. On linux, issue the following commands:
   
   

   
   % adb forward tcp:41927 tcp:41927
   % rm /etc/resolv.conf
   % echo "nameserver 192.168.56.1" >xxx
   % sudo cp xxx /etc/resolv.conf
   % sudo openvpn azilink.ovpn
