Okay, so I found a way to bypass the throttle (sort of) on my home PC. I purchased samsung dex, and connected my monitor and sound system. Now i can Netflix, surf, trade and download all I want. Not a total solution, but for now, its pretty usable (except for gaming). F U Verizon and all USA carriers.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discuss] rostar17:
Any details forthcoming?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discuss] IJoxer:
Those are the details, though I'm not sure how or why the Dex would help bypass the data usage.

Interesting...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discuss] middleearth1010:
Because, its not tethering. Its the actual phone running the Monitor, keyboard, mouse and speakers. The new generation of Computing baby.

I figured it out...sorta. USB tether via PDANET registered so not crippled to PC. That connection is 'shared' with the normal LAN. That cable is moved to the 'Internet' port on my router so it can feed other devices. So the PC is the middleman here so to speak.

** No throttling!

Cons...

**PC must be running

** charging only from USB cable so unable to use my QuickCharger 3.0
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discuss] Zylo003:
Can you explain this to someone who is computer literate, but completely phone/networking illiterate? For example, I'm not sure what you mean by "via PDANET registered." I've never tethered before either, but I've seen that as an option when I plug USB into my computer, so I think I can figure that out at least.

I'm stuck in a hotel for a month for training for my work and the hotel internet is awful (only .2 down) so I decided to pay up for Verizon's unlimited data plan and hotspot it, but now I've hit the ridiculous 600k throttle.

For the record, I have with me my laptop running Windows 10, and my phone is a Samsung Galaxy S6 (purchased at a Verizon store).

The worst part is I was really hoping for an ethernet port in this hotel room but there isn't one unfortunately.

Edit: Just realized this is under Galaxy S8+... My mistake, I found this thread via a google search. Not sure if you can help me or not since my phones an S6, but would still appreciate any and all help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discuss] chadbh74:
PDANET app on Android is free but crippled to slower speeds and https (secure) traffic is blocked. But I registered it. Install the app on phone and the Windows counterpart to get USB tether to that PC
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discuss] Zylo003:
Okay, so I installed it both on my phone and my PC, tethered it, and my initial speedtest result was 38.79 Mb/s down. I would link the image of this, but my account is too new so I can't.

Is it worth paying the $8 to buy the full version? I can't seem to find what the usage limit is in free mode, other than there is a limit.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discuss] chadbh74:
Well I would say yes. The free version blocks HTTPS secure sites, which is used by most financial sites. So you may find sites you use that you can't log into.

I am trying to use your method in order to connect my phone to my PC and from there, connect my PC to my PS4 to have free FAST data on there except I've run into problems. Firstly, connecting my Ethernet Cable from my PC to PS4 doesn't do anything. The PS4 registers but I don't really have an internet connection. It fails when checking for an IP address. (I'm pretty network illiterate so I have no idea how to fiddle with the manual settings.

I got PDANET to work fine, it streams full speed data to my PC and I am able to surf the web flawlessly. I got a peak of about 40 MB but it's then connecting it to my PS4 that's the issue. Any solutions?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discuss] chadbh74:
The problem is that you are trying to cable your PC straight to the PS4. I cabled my PC to a router's 'internet's port that's usually used by a cable modem. The router provides DHCP and assigns IP addresses on your network. Now, you could do it cabled straight from the PC to the PS4 but you would have to manually set up your IP addresses. Its not hard. Basically you assign your PC LAN a dummy IP address and your PS4 another one consecutive to the one you used for the PC. Then manually set the Gateway address on each to the IP of the other. Then you've linked the two devices together with one cable and no router required.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discuss] Ronaldo.L:
Is there any criteria to meet when setting an IP and gateway?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discuss] chadbh74:
I recommend trying these settings...

=== PC LAN===

IP: 192.168.0.100

Gateway: 192.168.0.101

Subnet: 255.255.255.0

=== PS4 ===

IP: 192.168.0.101

Gateway: 192.168.0.100

Subnet: 255.255.255.0

** Don't forget to go to your 'Network Adapters' on your PC and enable 'Sharing' on your PDANet connection and select the LAN to be shared with or it won't share.

P.S. Newer Ethernet devices should be OK with a regular CAT5/6 Ethernet patch cord on this if they have internal crossover capability. However if you try this on older PC with older network card it may require a actual 'Crossover' cable. These can be found at electronics stores that sell PC networking gear usually. They look exactly like a regular cable but some wires are flipped at one of the connector ends.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discuss] Ronaldo.L:
Hmm, I'll have to look into that. I think my PC is new enough. Laptop actually, it's an MSI mid-low end casual gaming laptop I bought in 2015. Got it to play Fallout and Skyrim when I couldn't bring my consoles with me. I'm not sure I can tell what exactly is all inside there

Does anyone know of any way to tether my iPhone? I️ am getting slowed to 600k as well and all of my data goes to my online college work... I️ usually dont even have enough data to do a months worth of work. :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discuss] Ronaldo.L:
I finally got a chance to try your method for routing my connection via Ethernet from my laptop to my PlayStation. I've ran into some problems however. I can now successfully obtain an IP address however right my PS4 obtains IP address it says connection failed. (to my internet)

Keep in mind I left everything else in the manual set up blank or as it was. (Including dns and proxy)

I also remembered that you told me to enable internet sharing on my laptop in Network adapters however upon entering these settings I cannot find any option to share my Network. Solution?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discuss] jbrown30:
As far as the Ps4 issue... I've found a few fixes, as long as you pay for pdanet(foxfi). When you connect your phone to your pc/lap top via pdanet, it gives you a beta option to use wireless Tether on your computer which works well enough to stream and game, but it temporarily disconnects sometimes. With my new update on windows 10, I can connect my phone to the computer via pdanet and then use the computers Hotspot option and I don't lose connection at all. Speeds are not lte but definitely good enough to stream and game online. P.s. You can't disconnect your phone from the computer. Only let down. I've accidently lost connection mid game a couple times disconnecting without realizing it haha

Read my last post ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discuss] Ronaldo.L:
Yeah, I was trying the Wifi solution yesterday but it only contributed to many of my problems I was having

I don't want to go through every problem I had but let's just say I was up fiddling with settings on my laptop from 8-12

I got it working with both LAN and Wifi one time each but each time I ended up fiddling with something and ended up breaking it to where I can connect successfully again. Finally I got it working with LAN again and I haven't changed a single setting since. It was a huge headache and I'm completely computer illiterate. If I could have done it all from my phone would have been a different story but man, it was a huge pain. My 600kb hotspot actually works fine for gaming (Rainbow Six, Destiny, Fornite)

I need the faster speeds because I'm trying to download Call of Duty WWII and Wolfenstein and it takes way too long on my slow hotspot. I left my phone connected and laptop up and running for the night but it actually shut off by itself either because an update or power saving (even though it was connected?)

Either way, bummer.

I need to find a way to have it not shut itself off over night

---------- Post added at 10:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:04 PM ----------

Also, I get around 5mb -30 mb down to through Ethernet (if I get to work properly)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discuss] chadbh74:
There are several things that can bottleneck the speed on shared connection. The big one is the CPU of the host PC that is connected to the phone/PDANET. Also a 100mbps LAN might have slightly less real world throughput than a gigabit LAN connection
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discuss] Ronaldo.L:
Yeah, the only real problem I have left now is a lack of consistency in the connection

I can perform the EXACT same steps to try and get it to work through my Ethernet and it'll run successfully like 1/10 times

Really frustrating and time consuming

I know I'm probably doing something wrong but I don't know what, everytime I disconnect PDANET I have to keep repeating the same steps to try and get it to work

I don't know how to set a dummy IP on my laptop like the gentleman from earlier said

I can do it on my PS4 but doing that by itself doesn't do anything but pass the IP test to only fail at the internet connectivity test. Frustrating..

I agree with this. There is one way, and that is to bridge your hotspot to your VPN. Big Red is using the latest Layer 7 Firewalls for DPI. They're also using Man-in-the-middle attacks to decrypt packets in transit. This is why our non-root efforts to hide tether don't work. Another FYI...These tactics are an industry wide practice, especially the designed man-in-the-middle attacks. I know because I work for one of the largest banks in the world, and attend the conferences where these tactics are verbally proliferated.

VPN method works like a charm for me. Purchased ExpressVPN to test this, and it was successful.

Using Verizon edition Google Pixel running 7.1.2, hotspotting to a Windows 10 laptop with TTL set to 65 and express VPN.

You are my hero, middleearth1010. Those bastards are charging 35 dollars to "data boost" out of 600Kbps hell (for only 5 more GB of unthrottled hotspot...), which is terribly problematic for people who travel for a living like I do.

Weird info

I wanted to add what I have found out for others trying to figure out a permanent solution as I am stumped

Just changing the Default ttl bypassed the throttle for me and I cannot figure out why

I have hide tether usage on foxfi enabled and foxfi connected to a dd-wrt router that I use to push internet across all my network devices and to provide a firewall but the hide tether usage option doesnt seem to do anything but I am saying it as it MIGHT be why as I cannot figure it out

If I use my vpn on my router connecting via openvpn it causes the throttling to come back however if I disable it it goes away and this is regardless of if I have my vpn connected on my PC or not

My setup is foxfi wifi tethering default settings other than hiding tether usage option ddwrt v2.4-sp2 wireless client connected to foxfi pia vpn using the settings linked below with a bypass for my HTPC

This seems to cause the bypass not to work however when I disable open vpn on ddwrt and use pias native windows client with dns and ipv6 leak protection it doesnt seem to matter and the bypass works fine but as I stated above the bypass works regardless of having my vpn enabled or not

Side note I never use ipv6 and it is disabled on all my computers

privateinternetaccess com *bslash* pages *bslash* client-support *bslash* dd-wrt-openvpn

*I am adding this post for tech people trying to figure out how to bypass this I DO NOT recommend not using a vpn regardless of if it works without one or not you still can get caught as your traffic is open for Verizon to see and they use dpi to do so and WILL catch you they also use a special header which is used to track you and without a vpn they WILL know who you are and what you are doing*

You don't. Android doesn't have a windows registry to use regedit on. You do that in Windows.

On Win10 at least (I'm mostly a Linux guy),

Press Windows key and X , then click 'Run'.

Type 'regedit' without the '

Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters

Change the value, or add it if it's not there in the Parameters folder.

To add it: select the Parameters folder you navigated to; Click 'Edit-New-DWORD (32-bit); Name it 'DefaultTTL'; set the value to Decimal and make it 65.

Reboot your machine to complete.

OR

You can probably use a netsh command on the command line:

netsh int ipv4 set glob defaultcurhoplimit=65

**replace ipv4 with ipv6 to change it for ipv6.**

Reboot your machine to complete.

Iphone 8 Verizon Worked-So Far!!!

I was a little skeptical at first because I refuse to jailbreak or do anything harmful to my phone or computer. The internet i have is a grandfathered time warner plan before the spectrum merger and my landlord wont upgrade but i cant complain because its free. However if I needed to download a game or any large file, it would take a week.

I have an iPhone 8 and Verizon unlimited plus. And after following these steps it worked. I just downloaded Divinity original sin 2 at 35gb at 80 mbps and it didn't hit my 15gb hotpot limit.

I used Private Internet Access as a VPN. I enabled it both on my computer and my phone. I tethered my iPhone and disabled the ipv6 on the Ethernet connecting to my iPhone and the one that appears to the vpn, just in case. I also did the registry thing changing the ttl to 65. Maybe they haven't caught on, but i am sure they have the ability to look deeper, but so far so good.

So i want to try this with my IPhone X, do you tether by turning on your hotspot and using a USB or using the wifi? Or are you using a router of some sorts? I would really like to find a solution to my internet problem, has where i live I can’t get “hardline” internet
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discuss] Reaperherpderp:
Doesnt work

I tried this and it didnt work for me.

Used ExpressVPN on both my phone and my PC, disabled ipv6 on all my network adapters, changed TTL to 65 on the decimal.

Idk if its because i was already over my data cap when i started trying this or what but im currently getting .10-.15 mbps during the day with verizon.

If i missed something please someone let me know i really need this to work but atm it is not a solution for iphone x on verizon
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discuss] jagster936:
What happens if I tether hotspot to router then computer to a router? Would I need to set TTL to 66? Since the packet hops twice?

I have been unsuccessful reliably getting native hotspot data to traverse through vpn with any of the vpn tether apps. Usually data just hangs on devices and nothing happens. I have lifetime vpn and would like that to work also but I guess I could use on the computer. Unless I could initiate the vpn from the router itself. I could also try sharing it through adaptors in pc but that’s kind of complicated.

I have Verizon s4 dedicated for hotspot use. Rooted. I’ll try disabling ipv6 to see if this helps the vpn and Tether vpn stuff. I’m not sure vpn unlimited app supports ipv6.

I’m very surprised doing this with Verizon and no vpn would work at all using only ttl and no ipv6. What does ipv6 have anything to do with hotspot detection or throttling and that?

On the script I can just add it to unit.d folder using es explorer or such? Does that work on 5.0.1 PL1 firmware on Verizon s4?

Thx

I tried vpn and hotspot and using various apps to route hotspot through vpn. It did bypass 600k but won’t reliably keep routing data through vpn. Not sure how this works wouldn’t it not change ttl?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discuss] marinegundoctor:
Here's what I did: drop the TTL on my laptop by one (this is permanent until I change it again) . Connect the laptop to my phone's Hotspot. Start the VPN on my laptop and that's all. I usually run a speed test to make sure I've got good speeds if I'm going to be playing a game or a large download. If it is slower like 4Mbbs then I'll connect my VPN to a different server.

I use vpnsecure.me and have a lifetime subscription I bought on sale for $70.00 US a couple of years ago.

When I get home I can give you more specific info on changing the TTL on your computer if you want. Or refer back to post #49
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discuss] jagster936:
I run a mofi cellular modem. You can specify 64 for ttl in the modem settings. Then ttl to 66 on my pc. Doesn’t seem to matter 65 or 66. Then they sometimes throttle sometimes don’t. They also packet inspect see. Turning on vpn allows full speed ever since I’ve tested. Don’t abuse it they will kick you off.

My iPad and iPhone always remain full speed as they are mobile devices and phone routes to 64ttl. So I’m happy with vpn only on computer and not just router level. But also experimenting with router level network vpn

I have a vz rooted note 7 on 6.1.

I'm interested in this but not to use in combo with a pc. I want to be able to have my firestick not be reduced speeds due to throttling.

It appears changing the ttl from 64 to 65 or 66 (not sure the which, but both appear they'll work?) is as simple as downloading an app and applying at reboot.

The second step may only apply if I'm changing my network settings on my computer.

Is there a variation that will work in combo with my firestick? PS. Not sure what the firestick doesn't like about me trying to cover my tracks, but running a vpn and a vpn tether app (an old method of bypassing throttling) causes the firestick to have problems with connecting to the network put out by my phone's hotspot.

Let me know what you think. Thanks.

a simple bypass around this is just use ICS through windows 10 (windows 10 is must needed) to a dd-wrt router. (latest build still is working fine)

no you cannot use networking bridging, ICS reroutes data. dd-wrt for forced DNS. a VPN is not required.
