If you're like me, a PdaNet customer running Linux who's sad that there's no build of PdaNet designed for Linux for hiding tether usage over USB Tethering, then fear not! After some research I've devised a plan to hide USB tethering usage from carriers that DOES NOT require PdaNet!. I've tested this myself on T-Mobile and Verizon, and on both of these carriers it looks like it works just fine. This does not mean that it will only work with these carriers, these are just the ones I've tested myself (with the exception of the appended notes below). If you have another carrier not mentioned here, please test this out and let me know if it works for you and I'll add it to the OP at the bottom
Here's a precaution I'd take on Android too, just to make sure the carrier really doesn't find anything out:
Go to Magisk Manager and get yourself the OpenDNS or DNSCrypt addon and install that. I think Verizon is catching on that I'm tethering somehow through DNS, even when I use VPN. By setting my DNS on my phone's LTE connection to something that's not-verizon, this should allow me to dodge that. I recommend you doing it too as a precaution
Here's what you have to do for Linux:
1) Hop over to your Linux machine, open a terminal emulator, and type the following commands (with root privileges):
sudo sysctl net.ipv4.ip_default_ttl=65
echo 65 | sudo tee /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_default_ttl
What this does is sets your PC's network packets to have a Time To Live of 65. This is to make it seem like the packets were originated from your phone instead of your PC. Android's default TTL for its packets is 64, so when the PC sends packets to your phone through tethering with a TTL of 65, they have a TTL of 64 by the time your phone sends them out to T-Mobile's towers (the internet).
2) If you want to have the PC's TTL set to 65 on every startup so you don't have to keep entering the two commands above again and again every time you reboot, add the following line to your PC's /etc/sysctl.conf file and save:
net.ipv4.ip_default_ttl=65
Here's what you have to do for Mac: (credits for the instructions and post going to @BrettB0727)
For those wondering how to do this on a Mac, it can be done temporarily using:
Code:
sudo sysctl -w net.inet.ip.ttl=65
Or permanently by creating or editing /etc/sysctl.conf to add
Code:
net.inet.ip.ttl=65
if you end up creating the file, you will need to be sure and do:
Code:
sudo chmod 0644 /etc/sysctl.conf
sudo chown root:wheel /etc/sysctl.conf
Here's what you have to do for Windows:
1) Open up regedit and go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters
2) Make a new REG_DWORD entry in there called DefaultTTL and set it to 65
3) Reboot
NOTE: I've found that downloading files can be finicky. I was able to download an MP4 video before without it detecting I was using tethering data, but when I tried to get a .zip file from ModDB T-Mobile found out what I was doing. Just take warning that not all forms of network traffic will be hidden when tethering.
NOTE 2: Confirmed by @triggerlord to work with WiFi Hotspot, as well as with Simple Mobile
NOTE 3: If you're one of those people who have trouble hiding their data with this method, take @niry's advice and see if it helps: he said to remove `dun` type from pcweb.t-mobile.com APN and add it to the end of the fast.t-mobile.com one (if it's not already there)
Lol, this fixed my Simple Mobile (powered by T-Mobile) tethering issues. Nice! This works with the WiFi hotspot feature too BTW.

Were you able to browse the web (hidden) without changing your browsers user agent? I find that if I don't set Chrome to look like Android its 50/50 if it gets hidden or not.

Everything works fine. I didn't need to change browser agents or anything. (I'm using chromium though.) I've only tried this via WiFi hotspot. EDIT: And I didn't need to change the APN setting either. Changing the TTL was enough to get it working.

Can you supply more information.
I'm looking at switching carriers due to my location(In the mountains with just about nothing for service providers) and want to know how much data you actually use.
What's the most data you have used with this TTL method?
Have they throttled you? and if so, how much?
Any information you can supply is extremely helpful. Thank you! =D
I've used 60gb no throttle.
That's awesome. Thank you for that information.

It works in combination with altering the `type` string in the APNs: remove `dun` from pcweb.t-mobile.com one and add it to the fast.t-mobile.com one so it will read `default,supl,hipri,fota,dun`.

OK, this took a lot of trial and error, some bravery on my part, and SEVERAL calls to AT&T, but I finally got it working!* I am not a Dev anywhere CLOSE to the likes of DG, but I do have extensive knowledge of hacking mobile devices in general, GSM networks, CS/PS infrastructure, and industry experience from the NOC side of several MSOs (aka ISPs), so I tackled this problem from a "what would I implement if I were AT&T and wanted to force a tethering package on subscribers?" Point of view, and worked backwards from there.
Many have tried the solution already posted, and I give credit to the poster of that original "fix" while respectfully pointing out that using this "fix" accomplished AT&T deleting my data package twice, and provisioning a tethering plan automatically once, all automatically done by the system. This was not the solution I was looking for.
So, without further introductions/banter on my part, here is the step-by-step... I will try to keep explanations to a minimum for now, if they are asked for I will put them in post #2.
*Prerequisites: ROOT
*Tools required: Root Explorer, SQLite Editor (both available in market, yes they are paid apps but they are WORTH EVERY PENNY!)
----note: this can also be accomplished using adb and a sqlite database editor on your pc, but requires many, many more steps, and won't work after reboot unless you have a working busybox and can successfully chown/chmod the .db file after you copy it back to the device, and even then I still had trouble with it after reboot, so... I had success with these paid apps, so I'm writing the tutorial assuming you have them. If there is enough demand I'll write an alternate tutorial on how to do this using free tools.
*******
++++++++++++ Edited, now shorter! Thanks to all for testing these settings, the new steps are confirmed working!
*(if you used the steps prior to my editing them, you're good, your settings will work fine, the changes reflect a different, shorter way to do this)
1) Create a NEW access point setting using the following settings: (SETTINGS>WIRELESS AND NETWORKS>MOBILE NETWORKS>ACCESS POINT NAMES> {press menu} NEW APN
Name: whatever you like here, I use att
APN: wap.cingular
Proxy:
Port:
Username:
Password:
Server:
MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com
MMS Proxy: wireless.cingular.com
MMS Port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
Authentication Type:
APN Type: default,agps,fota,supl,fota,tether,mms
(all settings I left blank, leave blank, make sure you press menu, save to save)</br>
2) Enable Airplane Mode
(hold power button for three seconds, select Airplane Mode)
3) Open Root Explorer
4) Navigate to: /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/
5) Click on "telephony.db"** (this should open the db using SQLite Editor)
6) Select "carriers"
7) You should see a long list of APN settings for various carriers, the ones you are interested in are rows 4, 6, and 7. Scroll ALL THE WAY TO THE RIGHT and the last column should be labeled "preloaded." You will notice that each is labeled "true" press and hold the word "true" in row 4 and select "Edit Field" from the pop up menu. Change the "true" to "false" and click "Save". Repeat this step for rows 6 and 7.
7b) Edit the type field of row 6. Right now the field says "tether". Change it so that it says "default,agps,fota,supl,fota,tether"
7c) Change the APN field in row 6 from BROADBAND to wap.cingular
8) Press back twice to close the SQLite editor and you should be back in Root Explorer. Close Root Explorer.
9) Disable Airplane Mode
10) Go back to the list of APNs you saw in step 1. You should see that the "locked padlock" is now unlocked on the preloaded APNs named AT&T US, AT&T US HSDPA, and AT&T TETHER. You now need to edit the one labeled AT&T TETHER. Change the following settings:
APN: wap.cingular
Proxy:
Proxy port:
APN type:
Press menu, save.
11) Select the radio button for the APN you created in step one. AT&T Tether.
12) Reboot phone.
13) Enjoy! Mobile Hotspot should now work first time no issues!
Note: (Due to some pre-existing (bug?) in the software, you do need to have wifi turned on BEFORE you enable Mobile Hotspot for it to set up properly. If you forget it will hang until you enable wifi.)

After staying up all night to figure this out, I have confirmed that using the Webtop without dock MOD combined with mine you CAN use webtop with your 3G/H+ connection!!! No wifi required!
Steps to make this work:
1) Connect Webtop
2) Using the window that allows you to control the regular phone interface, navigate to the ACCESS POINT NAMES menu described in step 1 above.
3) Select the radio button next to "AT&T Tethering"
Done! Open firefox and enjoy!
Credits to Fenny, author of the MOD to enable Webtop without dock!

It should, though I personally own neither, and therefore have not tested that particular functionality. There is no way that I am aware of that AT&T SHOULD be able to tell any difference between traffic from tethered devices and traffic from the device itself, so unless they are packet sniffing (illegal for ISPs, somewhat hazy regulation on wireless service providers, but would be a BIG shock to me if they were) or there is something in the actual webtop ubuntu software that would inform AT&T that webtop is being used somehow (also HIGHLY unlikely, as it would be a HUGE invasion of privacy) the answer is YES!
PLEASE if you have access to either of these $$$$$ expensive docks if you wouldn't mind test this for me and report back to confirm that indeed it does allow use without wifi.

I hate that you are probably on final steps, but... You cannot re-create the AT&T Tethering profile manually, as this will break the functionality of the script that Mobile hotspot uses to "Verify" that you have a tethering plan...
Please go to your APN list, and press MENU>Restore Default Settings
Then (sorry) start over from step 1

I can confirm that this works great - you no longer get stuck at "setting up data link" (so no more changing APNs to fix that).
Although, I tried the newly found webtop hack which allows you to just connect the HDMI cable to a TV and run webtop - it does not work without wifi. If you try turning off wifi and use 3g, it says "communicating with ATT to see if webtop something something" and nothing loads.

Wifi hotspot works, but it does not seem to work with the hd dock over 3g only with wifi. There must be another check somewhere along the way. Too bad, hopefully we canfigure it out soon though.

Nice job! This hack is based on the same principle as the TBH NVRAM tether hack that we released for Droid devices except yours is done by changing the APN in the system and ours is done by changing the Tethered NAI(Network Access Identifier) strings in the NVM because that is where the carrier data authentication components are actually stored in CDMA phones. With GSM all of that is stored in the SIM card itself and is not accessible in the NVM.
The change does functionally the same thing, that being making all data use appear to the network as internal data rather than flagged as an externally tethered device.
Congratulations!
uhm I tried this, when i launch with internal viewer, i cannot edit. but when i try to launch with the db editor, it wont open cuz it says no network connect (since we turned on airplane mode)
EDIT: nvm I needed to download the editor from the market since I didnt have one installed.
Can we delete all of the other APN settings without ill-effect?

ikenley,
I am less familiar with your network, and I'll also need more information:
1) Are you using a US, AT&T branded Atrix?
2) What are the DEFAULT, working APN(s) for 3/Vodafone "smartphone" data plans?
3) Do these APN(s) require login credentials, and
4) Do they proxy their smartphone data plan
Unfortunately, if the answer to #4 is yes, then the answer is no, it (probably) won't work. Also, if they require a login, it depends on the type.

LOL, I was hoping that you wouldn't say that
Every time I personally tried I couldn't get it to stick on reboot, I think I may have been doing something wrong with the chown or something. Give me a few days I'll keep at it ;-)
BTW, if you have a basic knowledge of adb, and bash or busybox or any linux based command line terminal, basically you follow all steps the same except when you are editing the .db you'll need to copy that file to the sdcard, then to your pc, then edit it, then copy it back to sdcard, then back to /data/data/com.android.provider.telephony/databases/ and THEN you have to use adb shell to chown/chmod the file to the proper settings. I think it may be that the group ownership is changed to sdcard when you move the file... Anyway I'll work on it.

Blatantly ripped off from richhed's thread. I'm a cheap [email protected]$#^&* so I wanted to enable wifi hotspot without paying for apps. Here's how.
I'm writing these instructions for Win7 x64, and assuming that your USB drivers and busybox are working. YMMV. No, I won't help you fix your phone if you brick it, and won't be responsible if it doesn't work for you.
1. Download Superoneclick 1.6.5 for rooting your phone. Your phone needs to be rooted, if you haven't done this yet you need to do it now.
2. Download SQLite database browser on your PC and unzip to some folder. Remember where this is.
3. Plug phone into PC and turn airplane mode on.
4. Open a command prompt as administrator (right-click, open as administrator)
5. Navigate in the command prompt to where your Superoneclick is unzipped (for me, it's in a folder on my desktop)
6. Run 'adb shell'
** note** all commands from step 7 to step 12 are in the ADB shell
7. su (if you rooted in step 1, you may have to allow access, watch your phone as it may ask)
8. mv /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.old
9. chmod 777 /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases
10. chmod 664 /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.old
11. exit
12. exit
13. in the same command window which your second 'exit' command dropped you to, type 'adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.old ./telephony.db'
14. Run SQLite database browser and open the telephony.db file that you downloaded to the Superoneclick folder in the last step.
15. Click 'browse data' and select table 'Carriers'
16. You should see a long list of APN settings for various carriers, the ones you are interested in are rows 4, 6, and 7. Highlight row 4, named 'AT&T US HSDPA'. Scroll ALL THE WAY TO THE RIGHT where the title of the last column says "preloaded." Double-click the field that says 'true', and in the resulting dialog box change the "true" to "false" and click "Apply Changes". Repeat this step for rows 6 and 7.
17. Edit the 'type' (3rd last) field of row 6. Right now the field says 'tether'. Double-click and change it so that it says 'default,agps,fota,supl,tether' and apply changes.
18. Change the 'apn' (6th) field in row 6 from 'broadband' to 'wap.cingular' and apply changes.
19. Click 'save' and exit the DB browser.
20. Back in the command window, type 'adb push ./telephony.db /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.new'
21. Run 'adb shell'
** note** all commands from step 22 to step 32 are in the ADB shell
22. su
23. cd /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases
24. su radio
25. cp telephony.new telephony.db
26. chmod 660 telephony.db
27. rm telephony.new
28. exit
29. cd ..
30. chmod 771 databases
31. exit
32. exit
33. Disable airplane mode
34. Go to Settings>Wireless + Networks>Mobile Networks>Access Point Names. Select radio button for AT&T Tether.
35. Reboot phone.
36. Mobile Hotspot will still validate but will turn on when using this APN. You might have to switch APN's after a reboot, I've had to and at least one other user has had to.
If you ever want to revert, we saved the file as /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.old in step 10. Just 'su' and 'cp' that puppy overtop of the existing telephony.db, remembering of course to enable airplane mode.
Not trying to start anything, but theres already a pretty good thread on this bro.

is this without modifying the sql db's??
stop linking android-wifi-tether.
Infrastructure AP (what this and richhed's method and others enable) > Adhoc (what android-wifi-tether enables)
Google the differences. Ill give you a couple reasons to start
1) a lot of corporate laptops disable adhoc connections
2) Adhoc only allows WEP - crackable in 30 seconds, a huge security risk. Infrastructure allows WPA2...

Number 2 is kinda a mute point as if your using your phone to tether i doubt its going to be your primary connection. Also the fact that your not even going to see your phone after about a 100ft for tethering it would be pretty easy to narrow down someone hacking into your wep

Number 2 is pretty important; it only takes about a minute to hack through WEP when the connection is in use.
Yea think you missed it completely

Yes. I flashed Motorola Atrix 4G U4_1.5.2 last night, restore my apps with mybackuppro this morning and this was the first thing I tried.
Just loaded it. Didnt have to do jack. Changed SSID, changed encryption. Not letting me change password, wanking the 13 character requirement when I enter a 16 character ASCII password is too short.
But the app worked beautifully. I have tried the other methods, modding db's. That didn't work until I added this below.
Tether without at&t tethering plan: (thanks to Fixter)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=193
after doing this. mobile hotspot is still greyed out in settings. It says 'high speed coverage required'. granted i am on edge with no way to test 3g atm. I am wondering if this is normal and if there is a way to enable the hotspot over edge? (yes i know it would be impractically slow)
Finally got around to doing this and it worked great.
A few corrections to your steps.
Step 3. Plug phone into PC. (I know stupid explanation, but some people may forget.)
Step 15. Select Table 'Carriers'
Step 34. 34. Go to Settings>Wireless + Networks>Mobile Networks>Access Point Names. Select radio button for AT&T Tether.
Finally, I had a ton of APNs listed in my phone. Something like 80. The ATT ones were listed near the bottom. I am not sure if this is because who I purchased my phone from, Walmart, but maybe you should give some description of rows 4,5, and 6 so that people will not get confused. I figured it out fine, but you never know.
Finally, this works in webtop, but it appears that on every reboot of the phone you have to change the APN setting when you first use webtop. It doesnt seem to matter if you are already in tethering, you have toswitch away and then switch back. After you do this once everything works fine until the next reboot.
Thanks again.

It isn't so much someone could access your wifi tether, but more that the data can be captured and easily decrypted. Anything you do over that connection may as well be broadcast for all to see. (Unless you're using https etc for everything)
I use the android-wifi-tether app on bluetooth only, unfortunately it also sucks battery more than the usb port on my mac can supply so the battery depletes in a few hours.
Thank you to the OP for providing a way to enable the built-in tethering.

I am not sure if it made any difference to it working, but as I'm with Telstra (Australia) I added 'default,agps,fota,supl,tether' to the entry for "Telstra Internet" and it works perfectly.
Not sure if this has been beaten to death yet, but do we for sure know that AT&T cannot track this? How are connection speeds?
I've read a few posts expressing concerns about AT&T automatically switching people to the tether/4GB plan (I have the 2GB plan), and also slow (<1mbit) download speeds. Can someone shed some light on this?
i think they can tell when we swtich from "phone" to "wap.cingular," it showed a record of me switching between the two. I also looked up my data usage and got 2 reports of usage rather than just one. still my data plan has remained unchanged. this also happened when i would switch out my sim card b/w my windows 7 samsung focus and my dell streak, and att didn't do anything. i figure if they contact me about this i can just say i've been swapping my sim card between phones. don't think they can tell the difference there (may be wrong).
My First Guide. Hope it Helps..
HOW TO REVERSE TETHER YOUR PHONE / INTERNET PASS THROUGH
Reverse Tethering / Internet Pass through is the method in which you can make your android phone use the internet connection of your computer without a WIFI and by using a usb cable. It is helpful for those people who don’t have a WIFI at their place and for those who don’t have a good internet plan for their mobile.
BASIC REQUIREMENTS
Rooted Phone With S-OFF
SuperUser [QR Code]
BusyBox [QR Code]
Terminal Emulator [QR Code]
Windows O.S. [I am using Win-7]
USB Cable for your phone
THE PROCESS
Connect Your Android Phone to your PC. Make sure you are rooted and have terminal emulator installed. Turn on USB Tethering from
SETTINGS -> WIRELESS AND NETWOKRS -> TETHERING AND PORTABLE HOTSPOT -> USB TETHERING.
Screen
Next you will get a new connection in your PC. Open Networking and Sharing Center from
CONTROL PANEL -> NETWORK AND SHARING CENTER
You get a scene in a similar manner.
Screen
Now There will be one connection which will be your Main Net Connection and the Other one will be your Android Phone’s Created Connection for tethering. Click on your main net connection i.e. the one you use for Connecting to net Local Area Connection(in my case).
You will get the following screen.
Screen
Now click on Properties.After this click on sharing and tick on Allow other network users to connect through this computer’s internet connection and click ok for any dialog box shown and click ok to come back to the main networking screen.
Screen
Now click on the new connection made by the android phone Local Area Connection 2 (in my case)
You will get the following screen
Screen
Click on properties. Then go to Internet Protocol version 4(TCP/IPv4) and click on properties.
Screen
Now You need to enter 192.168.2.1 in IP address and enter 255.255.255.0 in Subnet mask and keep remaining things empty.
Screen
PART ON THE PHONE
NOTE:- ALL CODES HAVE TO BE WRITTEN WITHOUT QUOTES
Open Android Terminal on the Phone and type "su". Provide it superuser permissions.
Screen
Now type “ifconfig usb0 192.168.2.2 netmask 255.255.255.0”
Screen
“busybox route delete default”
Screen
You may get an error here but it does not matter.
Now type “iptables –F –t nat”(* -F in caps is must)
Then type “busybox route add default gw 192.168.2.1”
Screen
“setprop net.dns1 8.8.8.8”
Next (setprop “net.gprs.http-proxy” “” ) [*Note :- here the code is written in bracket to avoid confusion.. The quotes(“”) are required.
Screen
CONGRATS.... YOU ARE DONE!!
RESULTS
Works on Android Browser.(FOR ME)
Works on Opera & Opera Mini.
Works on XDA Premium App.
DOES NOT Work on Android Market.(Finding a Solution... if anyone gets it working please tell)
You may need to repeat this process each time you connect the phone to PC.
Works even without a SIM inserted.
Nice guide
To enable the market click settings under the sharing tab and add a new service called market with the port number 5228.
how use other app for internet
No resolution
currently m using a wildfire and cannot switch on USB tethering until mobile network is connected followed all the steps but no luck
I am also a wildfire user. I did so many searching for reverse usb tethering, what I searched for were similar to the script of this thread. I follow all the steps but also not success.
I did do some searching, I just GUESS the main problem is the router at my home. My computer access the modem via router, maybe the router cannot give my WF a IP so my WF cannot access the internet? I dunno.
I didn't try access the internet with my computer connecting directly via modem without router since my home wire connection is so so so so complicated, but I believe that it will success. Would somebody try it and share your experience?
I think you can write a batch file for this. Using netsh and adb it would be easily done just from PC
thanks for the guide worked for me.
Problem though is that after i turned off the tethering and disconnected my phone from the pc then reconnect it again just to check if it works the 2nd time, if found that usb tethering is having an error and does not turn on.
question is how to disable this or how i disconnect my phone from pc the right way? well after restarting, tethering is again ok and
I did it on linux!
The configuration on the PC is next:
Code:
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
ifconfig usb0 192.168.2.1 netmask 255.255.255.0
iptables -A POSTROUTING -t nat -s 192.168.2.1/24 -o wlan0 -j MASQUERADE
On the phone same az you did, but I had to edit
Code:
setprop net.dns1 8.8.8.8
to match my DNS server i.e.
Code:
setprop net.dns1 87.120.131.2
worked !!!!!!!!!!!!!
After about two months of searching I finally found this guide which makes it work. Thanks a lot! Surfing everything is fine but downloads just don't start (market or browser) I'm using G2x by the way so I guess this should work for most people.

Is this out yet i really need tether so i was wondering if its out or be out soon for native tethering thank you
i tether on tmobile all the time. i have an unlimited high speed data plan, that comes with 3gb tethering. i use the default tether app until i hit my 3gb limit. after i hit my limit, i use the wifi tether router app(need root). using that app, tmobile has no idea im tethering.
Which app is that I tried an app it says my carrier has blocked it or something thank you

Developer asked that I test, and I can confirm that the latest version of WiFi Tether Router is working.
Settings he provided:
Interface wlan0
Method 2
Channel 1
Encryption wpa2-psk
"No Firmware Reload" <- UNCHECKED
Then reboot, then give it a try, it should work (root required, it resets the radio).
Does this really work on the Nexus 6? i have tried editing the build.prop but that didnt work. I sure hope this works.
You can use native tethering without T-Mobile knowing with the sqlite edit. You don't need an app.
Does the sqlite edit of adding in tether_dun_required work for unlimited tethering as well? I've only used 3.5gb of my 5gb in my plan. I have T-Mobiles unlimited LTE data plan and I want to make sure it will allow me to tether without any additional apps.

It uses your unlimited data plan, not your tethering allotment.
There are two easy methods:
1. Go to Settings-> "More..." (under Data Usage) -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names
Click the APN "T-Mobile US GPRS" (or whichever is selected), scroll down to "APN Type", click that, and add ",dun" to the end of the list (so the
list should say "default,mms,supl,dun")
then hit okay.
*2 .Open the following file in SQLite Editor (or transfer to computer and open there):
/data/data/com.android.provider.settings/databases/settings.db
Open the "global" table and add the following entry:
label: tether_dun_required
value: 0
Exit and reboot
*Depending on your method of choice, there are SQLite Editors, free and for purchase, for both Android and computer.

All you need to do is execute the following command:
Code:
adb shell content insert --uri content://settings/global --bind name:s:tether_dun_required --bind value:i:0
Just make sure you enable adb and have proper drivers to make it work. No root needed, no special edits needed either.

This module *should* hide you data usage while tethering, allowing you to have, in theory, unlimited tethering. I just threw it together and it is NOT fully tested to see if it 100% prevents monitoring of data usage. Let me know you thoughts.

Might be a good idea to share the methodology basics you are using instead of folks needing to install and stress test their limited tethering. From what I have seen on my T-Mobile account, creating a noprovisioning custom prop like this https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-3-xl/how-to/how-to-native-tethering-rooted-pixel-3-t3858662 is working and continues to work on Android 10.

The method used is my module is exactly the same as your link, with the addition of also editing the T-Mobile APNs to add "dun" to the APN.

Good deal. I have been hesitant to add DUN to the apn type since I am seeing no tethering charges. Mind you, I also use it so infrequently that even if they were to see my usage it wouldn't exceed my cap.

Since I have everything else done already, can you send me the value string you have saved in the APN type?
Hey @dustintinsley, first I appreciate this little mod. Thank you.
I just flashed via TWRP, I will do some testing to see if it's working, but one thing you mentioned, it also adds dun. Well after I flashed and booted, I went to settings mobile data apn and reset the apn, and I'm not seeing ,dun under apn type. Should it be there? Or no?
Thanks Dustin
EDIT: ok, few hours later, after I flashed your mod in twrp.
I watched YouTube for like an hour straight, and I just got a notification saying I used a certain % of my hotspot data. So unless I did something wrong, it's being reported as hotspot and it's definitely not working for me..
I'm on the OnePlus 7 pro, Android 10 on T-mobile. With TWRP 3.3.1-70 by muaranofrio and magisk canary.
Please advise. Thank you again Dustin
No need to reset your APN after flashing. Can you take a screenshot of your APN settings? DUN should be there but I may have missed some APNs so a screenshot could help

One other thing that I'm thinking might be important to mention, after flashing ur mod, while there are no changes made to the apn in settings, I did notice there are a bunch of different changes in the apns xml file in system-etc

Yeah, that is exactly why I asked. Unless it is editable in the first place, the workaround I thought was always to create a new APN. Your screenshots looked like the module was trying to make in-place edits unsuccessfully.

But this mod is specifically for TMobile and the op has the same device as I do. Maybe it's Android 10. Although didn't you say earlier that on Android 10 there is a way to get it working?
Hope Dustin can work his magic anyway. ?

Same. Also Waiting for Dustin to update hopefully.
As far as the other thread, ill pm you.
Used it while at work today, and can confirm it's working on the OOS Q beta! Ran through about ~20GB of data today, and none was reflected in my hotspot usage. I will note, however, I was using a VPN on my phone all day as well, and everything still worked like a charm (don't know why it wouldn't). Thank you!!
Termux Bypass
I've done this for ever and it's not going to be restricted to who you have but it will 100 percent get around any data throttling.
Download Termux app and install openssh-server on it. Go ahead and hotspot your phone, then run ifconfig inside Termux to get your current tethering local IP. It will be the only 192. spit out when you run ifconfig. Save this. Run sshd -dD inside Termux which starts an openssh server waiting to be connected to in debug mode to audit traffic. Now pop onto a PC or router you can SSH into, whatever and connect it to your hotspot from your phone. Now SSH tunnel all the traffic from the device back through the openssh server your running on the Termux app. Now that you are on the same local network you can SSH tunnel into that IP address you saved earlier. As long as you make sure all your traffic passes through the tunnel it 100 percent shows that all your internet is being used by Termux app not your hotspot app so you need no other spoofing of hops or anything because to your phone and carrier you are just using a bunch of data in termux, you do it right you will never be throttled I've used 150GB data multiple times.
