TetherLink v1.0.2 Official Release

🛠️ What's New in v1.0.2

• Connection & Setup UX Improvements: Streamlined client authorization flow and optimized initial connection handshake dialog.
• Installer Upgrade: Enhanced setup process for smoother in-place upgrades over previous versions.

❄️ Zero Thermal Throttling & Phone-Friendly Architecture

• No Wi-Fi Overheating: Unlike conventional Wi-Fi hotspot proxy apps that overheat your smartphone and degrade battery health, TetherLink transfers raw packets directly over the low-power USB hardware bus.
• Sustained Maximum Throughput: Download massive 100GB+ games on Steam or stream 4K for hours while keeping your phone completely cool and charging simultaneously.

🚀 Quick Setup

1. Install APK (Android): Download and install TetherLink_Mobile.apk on your phone.
2. Enable Debugging: Turn on Developer Options and enable USB Debugging on your phone. (⚠️ Do NOT turn on "USB Tethering" in Android settings. Keep it OFF.)
3. Connect & Authorize: Connect phone to PC via USB cable. When prompted, check "Always allow from this computer" and tap Allow.
4. Run on Windows: Launch TetherLink_Setup_v1.0.2.exe on your PC.

📦 Previous Updates (v1.0.1 Hotfix)
