@TamaniPhiri Do you know how to get the internet to work for the terminal? Firefox works great and like that. But i cant download or do sudo apt update for example in terminal. It continues to say that it cant fetch that downloads. I think there is something in the settings or maybe the proxy is interfering with the downloads from terminal. Any help?

just go to your pdanet on mobile and switch on the wifi/hotspot
it will bring up up the ip address and port number which the hotspot is using
then go to firefox browser on your PC
go to proxy settings and toggle the manual proxy so that you can type in the IP address and port number that pdanet gave us
then save and you are connected
note: always reset the proxy settings if you'd like to connect to a normal hotspot
