  "github_readme_excerpt": "# Gnirehtet (v2.5.1)\n\nThis project provides **reverse tethering** over `adb` for Android: it\nallows devices to use the internet connection of the computer they are plugged\non. It does not require any _root_ access (neither on the device nor on the\ncomputer). It works on _GNU/Linux_, _Windows_ and _Mac OS_.\n\nCurrently, it relays [TCP] and [UDP] over [IPv4] traffic, but it does not\nsupport [IPv6] (yet?).\n\n[TCP]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_Control_Protocol\n[UDP]: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_Datagram_Protocol\n[IPv4]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv4\n[IPv6]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv6\n\n_**This project is not actively maintained anymore, only major blockers (like\nbuild issues) are fixed. It should still work, though.**_\n\n\n## Flavors\n\nTwo implementations of _Gnirehtet_ are available:\n - one in **Java**;\n - one in **Rust**.\n\n\n### Which one to choose?\n\nUse the **Rust** implementation. The native binary consumes less CPU and memory,\nand does not require a _Java_ runtime environment.\n\nThe relay server of _Gnirehtet_ was initially only implemented in Java. As a\nbenefit, the same \"binary\" runs on every platform having _Java 8_ runtime\ninstalled. It is still maintained to provide a working alternative in case of\nproblems with the Rust version.\n\n\n## Requirements\n\nThe Android application requires at least API 21 (Android 5.0).\n\nFor the _Java_ version only, _Java 8_ (JRE) is required on your computer. On\nDebian-based distros, install the package `openjdk-8-jre`.\n\n### adb\n\nYou need a recent version of [adb] (where `adb reverse` is implemented, it\nworks with 1.0.36).\n\nIt is available in the [Android SDK platform tools][platform-tools].\n\nOn Debian-based distros, you can alternatively install the package\n`android-tools-adb`.\n\nOn Windows, if you need `adb` only for this application, just download the\n[platform-tools][platform-tools-windows] and extract the following files to the\n_gnirehtet_ directory:\n - `adb.exe`\n - `AdbWinApi.dll`\n - `AdbWinUsbApi.dll`\n",
