What is the difference between cellular data being used on my phone and cellular data being used on my notebook? Data is data.

    I have been bypassing this with Pdanet app for over 10 years. I don’t think the app gets regular updates anymore, but it has worked for me on many different phones, and windows versions. Also different carriers.

    Doesn’t have to be usb either, I use the wifi direct setting it has and have used 100gb in a month. With minimal or no slowdown.

    I still use it almost daily, as fiber or any other form of internet isn’t available in my area besides satellite (not talking about starlink). I also play online games usually 80 latency, which sucks, but better than nothing.

      Doesn’t look like there’s a Linux client unfortunately.

        Ah, thats a shame. Pdanet also has an app called foxfi, which can active unlimited hotspot on some phones/carriers, so uou wouldn’t need the client app.

        Theres a free trial, give it a try if you haven’t already

        EasyTether+ might have a Linux client. It’s a similar app
