Look into modifying the TTL of your TCP requests. IIRC that's how at least one wireless ISP measures hotspot data different than from-phone data.

- cm2187 8y agoInteresting. Is there any other way? Like is there a flag in wireless data that tags tethered traffic? I was always curious of how an ISP can tell.
- mathieuh 8y agoThey could look for requests to things like Windows/MacOS update servers, URLs that phones will never be accessing basically.
- cm2187 8y agoBut that would allow them to tell that tethering is being used, not to measure the traffic to make it contribute to a cap.
- Klathmon 8y agoOn some Android devices they have the OS report it separately which is one reason they hate the ability for you to root your own device.
- lozaning 8y agoBack in my Nexus 5 days while on t-mobile all you had to do was tell the phone to use the same gateway IP for tethered traffic as mobile traffic. Quick ADB command later unlimited tethering.
