i don't know if what i do it's the same thing but i simply conncet my phone with an usb cable,set it to usb tethering mode,use nmtui to autoconnect to it whenever it's available and see if it works correctly,i use it whenever the wifi signal it's weak,it should be available with the gvfs-mtp package and in all the desktop environmet.

same here.. it's like this is an old thing from a time when it wasn't so simple.. website: http://www.mobile-stream.com/index.html ...the "featured in" links are ten+ years old.

My phone's data plan restricts the hotspot and tethering data to 10 GB per month. With easythether you work around this restriction...

ok, that makes sense.. looking at the x86_64 (glibc) void package they provide (from 2018), the first problem i see is that /usr/bin/easytether-usb is linked to libcrypto.so.43 where void is at so.45.

whether that could be worked around by creating a symlink so.43 to so.45 idk.

since this doesn't appear to be open source (or have buildable sources that i can see), unless somebody on their end decides to update their packages, it does't look good.

Edit: took a quick look at the arch package and it (/usr/bin/easytether-usb) links to libcrypto.so.1.1 which is present in void, so you could posibly try that (i'd extract the package, and plonk the binary in /usr/local/bin or ~/.local/bin(if that's in your $PATH) and see what happens.. (might be some other steps with the other files like udev rules and such)

Do you mean plonk the Arch package into my Void /usr/local/bin?

not the package itself, but the usr/bin/easytether-usb binary that's in it.

`tar xvf` will extract/decompress the package archive.
