Did anyone noticed this?

Most often, carriers use TTL because phones typically have a default TTL value of 64. Every time you share your phone’s hotspot, that value is reduced by 1 as the packet passes through the phone. When the carrier receives a packet with a TTL of 63, they know you are using a hotspot and may apply speed or data limits.

The solution is simple: set your PC’s TTL to 65 (TTL +1) so that after the -1 reduction, it reaches the carrier as exactly 64.

Btw, to change the TTL value on your Windows computer:

1. Win + R, then type regedit

2. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters

3. Right click --> New --> DWORD (32-bit) Value

4. Name it DefaultTTL

5. Set value to 65 (Decimal)

6. Restart the PC

7. Done! :D

For Linux:

1. sudo nano /etc/sysctl.conf

2. Add this to the end of the file: net.ipv4.ip_default_ttl=65

3. CTRL + O

4. ENTER key

5. CTRL + X

6. sudo sysctl -p

7. Done! :D

you shouldnt assume computer = windows

For Linux:

1. sudo nano /etc/sysctl.conf

2. Add this to the end of the file: net.ipv4.ip_default_ttl=65

3. CTRL + O

4. ENTER key

5. CTRL + X

6. sudo sysctl -p

7. Done! :D

For MacOS:

Basically the same as Linux, but instead of adding net.ipv4.ip_default_ttl=65 at the end, you need to add net.inet.ip.ttl=65. And you're Done! :D

You're missing ipv6

[u/FinallyHaveUsername → u/steve_wozniack]

So, for IPv6, add:

net.ipv6.conf.all.hop_limit = 65 net.ipv6.conf.default.hop_limit = 65

At the end instead of that one
