Hey just wanted to ask for some recommendations on tethering my phone to my laptop. Would be nice to have options to hide tether usage if possible. Thanks

    If you mean you don’t want your carrier to limit your tethering when you hit a limit, then there is this free and open source app called “TetherFi” that I use religiously. It’s on the playstore. This is for android. Not sure about iPhone.

    PDAnet I’ve tethered a laptop to a phone via usb and bluetooth that way. Nowadays I just run my SIM in an LTE router and share the connection via wifi.

    hide tether usage if possible

    Some solutions involving tweaking TTL.

    I’ve never had to do any sort of configuration for tethering. It just works as expected with the network managers built into whatever DE I was using at the time.

    I don’t know what you mean by hiding usage. Like using a VPN? That should work fine while tethering as well.
