L11: USB tethering

I think that rather anonymous device would be the Librem 11’s keyboard. Did you have the keyboard connected at the time??

The keyboard was connected in that moment.

That said, many people would tether via WiFi, not via USB. Have you tried that tethering approach on the Librem 11?

I do not know what you mean with tether via Wifi.

At home, when the L11 and my laptop are connected to my AP, I just use SSH to connect from the laptop to the L11 (or L5). In my company both can’t connect to the same AP, the L11 (or L5) must connect to the visitor AP and my laptop normally connects to our office AP, from where I can do SSH to all places, but not into the visitor Wifi network (and vice versa ofc also not). That’s why with the L5 I do use tethering via an USB-C cable and run SSH on top of this link.

Outside, for example in cafes, I use any mobile phone as an AP to Internet and connect the L5/L11 and my laptop to this AP. This allows also SSH between L5/L11 and the laptop.
