Cake-VPN VS gnirehtet

I am now starting to understand the connections better and find the implementation of https://github.com/ashraf789/Cake-VPN a lot clearer. Only thing I can't figure out now is that I'm now loading an AAR file of open-vpn that I previsouly bought from Codecanyon. But the "Cake-VPN" apparently does not work with the functionalities within that AAR library.

I don't understand how is your data related to a software update, nor how is a screen replacement related to wifi and mobile data... Moving on, if you want to transfer your files with smart switch, you would need a USB-C to USB-C cable and connect the 2 phones together, then on the new one open smart switch and select to receive data and then follow the instructions. If you want to update your phone from your laptop, also use smart switch on your computer and follow the instructions from there, it will ask you the phone model and some other stuff. If you want to give internet from the laptop to the phone using a cable follow this guide https://github.com/Genymobile/gnirehtet

You can also try reverse tethering over a USB cable: https://github.com/Genymobile/gnirehtet

Yes, but in Virtual Desktop it requires some hackery (side-loading a Settings.apk onto your Pico to enable USB tethering), and it can often result in BSOD's on your PC. If not mid-gameplay, then often when disconnecting. My PC crashes every time I quit out of Virtual Desktop with this method, even though while gaming it's fine. There are some driver tricks to reduce the problem but nothing really 100% fixes it. There is also reverse tethering with more hackery, but I can't speak to how well this works. These are all the reasons you see people using ethernet tethering instead of just USB.

I am using https://github.com/Genymobile/gnirehtet (Java version, cause rust implementation causes random disconnects every 15 seconds). And the process is much simpler, than using default tethering.

Reading from the link that I sent, it seems Virtual Desktop works with USB on Quest as well but it's a bit more complex than with Pico since it requires the installation of can app called gnirehtet. It would be pretty nice to have this feature on Virtual Desktop itself without needing all those extra steps though.

It would be cool if something like this is possible, but I'm not too optimistic. An alternative might perhaps be reverse tethering like Gnirehtet (assuming it works on newer Android versions), if you don't mind using a computer as a middleman.
