This project is a wrapper around Genymobile's gnirehtet tool. It
provides reverse tethering over adb for Android, allowing devices to use
the Internet connection of the computer they are plugged into. It does not
require any root access (neither on the device nor on the computer). The
wrapper allows Android devices to be automatically detected and configured as
clients.
Gnirehtet v1.0 comes packaged with gnirehtet v2.4 and adb v1.0.41. No additional software is required.
The Android application requires at least API 21 (Android 5.0). You must also enable adb debugging on your device(s).
Download the latest release for macOS.

A "key" icon appears in your device's status bar whenever Gnirehtet is active:
Additionally, the menu bar extra lists all active devices:
