Hi, I'm reacting to the "firewall" thing. I'm not sure you really understand what a firewall does?! A firewall acts on the data traffic incoming or outgoing to simplify its job is to prevent incoming unsolicited traffic. It won't protect you when accessing your banking account. When browsing, the user is willingly connecting to a server, in doing so rendering a firewall useless if the server is compromised. Of course a firewall can block known malicious addresses or allow only known IPs but it is restrictive and not that effective. To go back to the main topic here : Ubuntu Touch The hotspot is a bit tricky to activate but it works for most of the devices. Regarding the move to 20.04, the technical limitations are unknown at the moment so the foundation (or anyone) is not able to give a statement on whether a device CAN or CANNOT be ported to 20.04. The foundation already gave a list of devices on which they are working. This list will most probably see a port to 20.04. For other devices it will depend on the porter or if someone step in to do the job ; the core team will be able to help but they cannot port each of the tens of devices supported right now. I hope this clarifies some things.

so ive changed the setting in the tweak tool to the above suggested.. and plugged a cable betwen UT and ubuntu on a desktop on the desktop i now get a network icon as though it is recognising the possibility of this usb connection it continues to say network connecting but no more and no internet via browser just network connecting.... any ideas from here just for reference, i plugged into windows machine no joy their either hmm
