Can't connect to internet via usb tethering to iphone with IOS 12.3.1

I connect my iphone to the computer with usb cable. I successfully pair my phone using `idevicepair pair` command, however there is no internet connection. How can I investigate the issue?
IOS version is 12.3.1
libimobiledevice version is 1.2.0+87+g92c5462-1

I know that page but it didn't help. I successfully tethered using the

ip link

command. First I found the interface name of iphone using

ip link

Then enabled the interface by

ip link set interface up

After that iphone is tethered when i connected it via usb. However this phone that I tested is another iphone not mine. I still can't tether to my phone. I can't even connect to it using wifi. My network manager wicd gets stuck at 'obtaining ip address' when I try to connect to its wifi hotspot.

I found out that the problem is related to the APN settings for the hotspot. Following the steps in this answer solved the problem.
