Im trying to bypass the 30gb AT&T hotspot cap. I enabled hotspot on my phone(pixel3a) and connected to it from my laptop.
On my laptop I have my ipv4/6 ttl set to 65, ive verified this via ping 127.0.0.1 it returns ttl=65. I also have a VPN running on my laptop to prevent deep packet inspection.
Under phone settings -> mobile data usage, Im still seeing the data usage for the Hotspot&tethering app go up. Is this just my phone seeing the hotspot app using data and reporting it as such, and on AT&T end they just see me using mobile data, or is this not the case and i did something wrong.
Question on AT&T hotspot cap bypass(am i doing this right)?

Re: Question on AT&T hotspot cap bypass(am i doing this right)?
Can you manually set the APN to a single APN? I think broadband is their non-hotspot APN. But it may have changed.
I believe ATT uses different APNs to discern hotspot and non hotspot use.

See this thread from here down. https://wirelessjoint.com/viewtopic.php?f=32 ... 630#p17616
That's me basically trying to do the same thing with a Samsung tablet.
I'm still not convinced that TTL matters for AT&T despite what Bill says there but APN certainly does. On my AT&T branded tablet you can't change APN so I've given up on that for now and will continue tethering with a Raspberry Pi running EasyTether and WireGuard which is actually working surprisingly well.
