Tethering is the best way to share your phone's Internet Connection with your Desktop or Laptop. It's the best solution for those who mostly use Cellular Internet Connection on their phones and want to use the same Connection on their Desktop too.
Tethering can be done in three ways, via USB, via Wi-fi or via Bluetooth. USB Tethering is nice but why would you want to use a USB cable when you can tether wirelessly. Wi-fi tethering is again good but not economical, it drains the battery of your phone quickly. The best way to wirelessly tether your desktop using your phone is using Bluetooth Tethering.

Using an Android phone as the tethering device on a Mac is actually very simple. In fact the latest and current versions of Android phones have the software support built in on the device itself so that you can tether your Android phone directly to a Mac computer without installing any devices or any form of configuration. There are a few options to tether an Android phone on a Mac OS X. I will omit the option that will require you to set the network settings and dial using your mobile since that option failed to work for me.
Option 1
Tether directly with your Android phone
This method requires absolutely no additional software or configuration. If you take a look at your Android phone under Settings => Wireless & networks => USB tethering setting. You will notice that tapping on it allows you to choose between Windows or Mac OS X.
Simply leave the settings set at Mac OS X before you hook up the Android phone to USB of your Mac computer. Tap the checkbox of 'USB tethering' and you will see a new prompt stating that a new network interface is detected. Simply click on the 'Advanced' button to enter another page and click on the 'Renew DHCP Lease' button. Wait a few seconds and it should show a series of new IPs.
Start your Mac browser and you should be surfing without any issues. Tentacolour mac os.

Mac Os Mojave
What I liked about EasyTether is its clean concept where there is no need to start another program in Mac OS X before you can connect. Speed wise, I feel that the max downlaod speed with PdaNet is faster.
EasyTether claims that the full version of itself is cheaper the PdaNet. I will prefer to buy the full version of EasyTether and use the free version of PdaNet if there is a need to go for faster speed during downloads. Besides, it could be just luck that EasyTether is slower during my test.
I hope these Android tethering methods are useful for people who are trying to find simple ways to provide internet tether to their Mac OS computers.
