I got sidetracked on this project and stopped working on it, it was not a funded project so there was no rush anyway, I just wanted to see if it would work on ios and it did.

I am not giving it away, it is by no means tested, your phone must be jailbroken and I can load it for you but not give the script to you, I only used it on and made it from files from an iphone X and am not sure if it will even work on other newer iphones, it may need a specific file made from the device it is going to be used on, I am not sure I have not compared it with other models and since it is not qualcomm there may not be much compatibility, idk, I use to fool with iphones alot but not much anymore.

Rich's method turns an iPhone's limited hotspot data into unlimited without a router.
Since this script sets a custom TTL value internally, the iPhone must be jail-broken.

Without jail-breaking/rooting, you can connect any iPhone or Android to a Windows PC or MAC via a USB cable, and bypass the hotspot data limit by setting the proper TTL via a couple of commands lines below.
Replace <TTL> with 64/65/66, test each value till it works.

Windows PC - In the CMD window copy and paste each line, replace the <TTL> value, and press enter

Code: Select all

netsh int ipv4 set global defaultcurhoplimit=<TTL>
netsh int ipv6 set global defaultcurhoplimit=<TTL>
MAC - In command terminal enter the first line, add the second line to the list, replace the <TTL> value, Save and Exit

Code: Select all

sudo nano /etc/sysctl.conf
net.inet.ip.ttl=<TTL>
Then press:
Command/Ctrl + Shift + O then Enter to save
Command/Ctrl + Shift + X to exit

Or connect any phone via a USB cable or WiFi tethering to a router running GoldenOrb's, and set the proper TTL for unlimited data.

Maybe someone can test that (not me :) ) I don't think it can work because by the time the data is handed off to the pc
the ttl has already jumped and has already been decremented on the iphone before that, so it needs to be done from the device that is supplying the data and not the device the data has already jumped to.
