Q:

How to change Host (IP address) and port number to connect to wifi internet in Xubuntu 16.04?

I explain my situation: I downloaded from google play store NetShare app to make my smartphone as WiFi extender, it works with no problems, BUT I need to change the host name (IP address) and port number in my laptop to get it working!! My system is xubuntu 16.04 and there are NO options to do that via GUI!!! Any suggestions how to do that automatically???? I couldn't find so far a solution. thanks. vladi

A:

From the Netshare Google Play store page,

This app will require you to manually setup a proxy for the client device with the IP address and the port shown.

So all you need to do is set up a proxy in Ubuntu, specifying your phone as the proxy server, along with the port for the proxy server. This is an already asked question, and for the answer, refer here.
