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

I’ve read somewhere that USB tethering bypasses this very easily.
Does it? Interesting. I’ll have to try that. I wonder why?
There used to be other ways to bypass it as well, like PDAnet, rooting, flashing custom OSes, etc.
From what I heard is that a phone used as USB tether identifies as a modem on the computer, and then the traffic is somehow detected differently. I haven’t tested this personally though since my ISP doesn’t cap or throttle me when using hotpsots.
Is easytether still a thing? That app saved my butt several times.
I’m not sure tbh, my ISP doesn’t throttle my speed or data when used as a hotspot, luckily, so I didn’t have to look into it for a long time.

Have you tried running a vpn to your phone while tethering?

I experimented with it a little bit, but it didn’t go anywhere when I discovered my phone already proxies/NATs all my traffic.
