Description

Are you tired of paying for expensive mobile data plans or struggling to find a reliable Wi-Fi connection? Look no further than HoRNDIS for Mac, the driver that allows you to use your Android phone's native USB tethering mode to get Internet access on your Mac OS X device.

Pronounced "horrendous," this driver may have a funny name, but it delivers serious results. Compatible with Mac OS X versions 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) through 10.8.2 (Mountain Lion), HoRNDIS has been tested mostly on Galaxy Nexuses running Jelly Bean and is known for its reliability and ease of use.

But don't just take our word for it - the author and some of his friends have run HoRNDIS full time on their own personal computers without issue. Of course, as with any driver installation, caution should be exercised when installing HoRNDIS or any other software onto your computer.

So how does HoRNDIS work? Simply connect your Android phone to your Mac using a USB cable and enable USB tethering mode on your phone. Then, install the HoRNDIS driver onto your Mac and voila! You now have Internet access through your phone's data plan.

But what sets HoRNDIS apart from other drivers? For one thing, it's completely free - no need to pay for expensive third-party software or mobile data plans anymore! Additionally, because it uses native USB tethering mode rather than creating a separate network connection like some other drivers do, there is less chance of interference with other network connections or devices.

HoRNDIS also boasts fast speeds and low latency thanks to its efficient codebase optimized specifically for Mac OS X devices. And because it is open source software under the GNU General Public License version 2 (GPLv2), users can modify and distribute the code as they see fit - making it an ideal choice for developers looking to customize their own solutions.

In summary, if you're looking for an easy-to-use and reliable way to get Internet access on your Mac using only your Android phone's data plan, look no further than HoRNDIS for Mac. With its compatibility across multiple versions of Mac OS X and proven track record among users, this free driver is sure to become an essential tool in any tech-savvy user's arsenal.
