EXAMPLE

You have 15GB of fast hotspot data, after that, it slows to a crawl.

THE GOAL

Make it appear as if you are not using hotspot, when you are, to avoid throttling.

WHAT YOU NEED

1. Rooted Android phone

2. VPN Hotspot apk

3. VPN connection (a free option, if you always leave your home PC on, or router is compatible, is Tailscale with an exit node)

INSTRUCTIONS

Download the app, grant root access.

Turn on your VPN.

In VPN Hotspot toggle the items in my screenshot below:

That’s it!

Your connection speeds will vary based on the quality of your VPN, but will most definitely be faster than your throttled data.

I don’t know which method works better, but this works without root.

TetherFi (3.1 MB) - Use hotspot, whether your carrier likes it or not, without using hotspot data.

The first app, vpn hotspot, needs vpn and root, the second app, TetherFi, doesn’t.
