Unlimited LTE Hotspot on PC via Phone or USB modem! -GlytchTips 

For anyone that's wondering: "Is this free infinite mobile data?" - *No, it isn't.* You are still limited by your phones data plan and this only works if you already have an unlimited mobile data plan. The video is about exactly those internet plans that are infinite, but have a cap in their amount of data shared in hotspots, meaning that at some point, you will download slower from devices in your hotspot. The video is about bypassing that throttle, it doesn't apply to every person. If you have for example a 5GB/month total plan, then you are only able to do this with 5GB of data, once you reach this, you won't be able to use the internet anymore, neither on your pc nor on your phone (technically many plans have then a "throttled" mode, but we are talking about kb/s then). You cannot bypass your phones [x]GB data plan with this, because this is in general not possible.

I had stopped watching Hak5 for a long while until Glytch started posting here. His videos are perfect for somone like me who understands a little of everything but really nothing completely.

I would like to see more GlythTips

Thanks man, I was lied to a sales person that I could use my plan on a sim modem, turns out theres a hotspot limit which i wasnt told, quite deserving.

one could also use a travelrouter with phone thethering support (example: "mango" from gl-inet for ~20€ or "shadow" also gl-inet for ~40€( has bettet processor and stuff)) ... for the ttl canging and rebroadcasting

Great tip. Not in any way affiliated, but Easytether also allows you to connect to just about anything, wired or Bluetooth. Has drivers for just about every OS. Supports Openwrt as well. I have my router set up with a hotplug to auto connect VPN on usb plug. It charges my phone while I tether on unlimited basis and auto connects to VPN upon plugging in. Either way... this is great information to know. I would love to be able produce the results of the app myself someday if the developer stops support. Keep the videos coming!

Does not work on T-Mobile unlimited data plans. I used up my tethered allocation and tested before the throttling it was 300Mbps and after throttling was 600 kbps regardless of TTL setting to 65 before they began to throttle it.

I did this on openwrt with a USB connection to a spare Android. It's configured as a failover connection and openwrt sets the TTL for the USB tether, which makes the entire wifi network operate at full speed :)

I started nomading a few months ago. I'm still wrestling to get decent internet. This tip and the other related tip is hopefully the light at the end of my tunnel. More Glytch!

I would never "thumbs down" a content creator I liked, and I don't want to discourage this new format (I think it's a great idea) but not only is the title of the video deceptive and click-baity, but.. there's no deep dive! You say "run this command" with no explanation on how changing TTL gets around the throttling, or even getting into the detail that @Das_Unterstrich did below about who this will work for, and why. I would like to see more accurate titles, and include the explanation of how and why it works. Good luck!

Heck yeah, man. I'd love to see more of this. Btw, are you recording these from a stealth van rv? That's rad as hell.

i was without internet (slow though it may be) at home for a month and a half while replacing a tower. i had to deal with 5 gigs and searched franticly for this answer. lesson learned and set for future emergencies. thank you.

holy crap for the first video seen by me on this channel I'm in 100% I want to see more of these it was easy enough for a novice like me to understand and execute flawlessly on my own device thank you

Outstanding video's / posts. Always look forward to them.

Video starts at 2:23

What about the stipulation in most cell providers terms of service for "unlimited" plans that usually states "after 65 gigabytes of data usage during one billing cycle, we reserve the right to review your usage and terminate your service"

How about doing a modern tutorial on how to root a modern android phone and all the software needed on windows to complete the tasks

This actually does work when using a phone or mifi as your AP. If your cellular provider sees a ttl of 128 they know it’s a Windows PC and charge you more.

This kid (Glytch) reminds me in the way that he looks, sounds and acts like my old phreaker partner in crime. Except my friend had long hair. But Glytch could be his son for all I know. I really have to look my friend up, see where he’s at after 32 years! We sorta lost sight when the 92 majority of our PBXes were made digital and there wasn’t a lot of phreaking and he (for some weird reason) failed many classes in college. Because I was the computer geek with a little electronics knowledge and in highschool he taught me electronics and vice versa. I guess that practical experience is very different from the extreme maths heavy focus in EE. But seeing this kid really brings back fond memories, of us routing calls across the planet trying to get the highest delay! And us downloading software from American BBS that we’d crack (mainly me but he was a great co-pilot) and sold in school for the cost of a floppy and a snack 😂 Gosh those early 90s and mid 80s when we met were the best time.😊

Maybe you could do a Mac version? Please. Thank you.

That Win Max in the thumbnail though lol

This is awesome, I wondered about this, I use Linux Mint, could you show us on how to do that as well on Linux?

About 2012,I was in Florida at an AT&T Store. They showed me their best Hot Spot and the upload speed was about 12 mb. A program I got from June Fabric's that I downloaded onto my Android phone could be used once I had root access to Android. I plugged in into my laptop and let them see the speed! It blew them away that my speed was over 300 mb's compared to theirs. They wanted to know what I did, and how I did it,but I just smiled,packed up my gear and left,and I also used a small usb amplifier.

i miss these types of videos :(

This will not work on a lot of carrier provided phones because they now open a second rmnet gateway for the hotspot. Changing the TTL will not work on phones that open a secondary gateway for the hotspot. You can turn the creation of a secondary gateway off, but it requires root.

this is perfect, would love to see more!

what is the command on linux/macos?

very nice m8, hope you have a great year!

How about best methods for hacking hotspot IMEI's?

Cool thanks Glytch - I live on my boat here in Juneau Alaska and Always Enjoy your posts.

no change in speed for me what so ever

thanks, I really like this style of video, it was really useful, keep it up!

Freakin perfect. TY glytch - love this content and all the van stuff.

Feb 2022! Worked like a charm. Thank you Extremely much!

What ever happened to the Darren/Shannon longer form videos? I know she moved but surely thats not all?

Used it a 3 gb plan and it worked.

Moar Glytch tips!

This should include what cell providers this works on. It for sure works on Verizon and Verizon resellers...But it does work on all providers

I am new to this channel and I am in love with the content !!! would love to see more of it...

Yessir finally I can watch a movie again

Yeah more glytch tips. this is dope.

Wow, thank you so much Glych, it works amazingly well. You've earned your angel wings.

If you wanted unlimited hotspot with ATT on a samsung phone, if you flash XAA (US Unlocked) onto your phone instead of ATT's firmware then they cannot see when your tethering vs when your just using data.

Help doesn't work I still get 50kbs download

Lovely! Kindda that APNs stuff. Need more 🔥

i don't get it. is this allowing your throttled unlimited plan to be unthrottled? not sure what the hack here is.

So something I do want to mention is that your phone is not designed for constant use of data that your computer will push. I've actually had a phone overheat while using it this way and the battery failed. Failed as in it expanded twice it's size and since it was a LG G4 it was difficult to remove (battery slides out the bottom). With that said I had regularly used about 700GB/mo mostly without issue using a similar trick.

This TTL hack won't work with AT&T. They don't use TTL or the User Agent string to determine hotspot data, rather they use the APN. They have separate APNs for on-device data vs hotspot data. Additionally, the more people find out about this TTL trick, the more likely Verizon and T-Mobile are to change the way they detect hotspotting/tethering. So I wouldn't count on this continuing to work a year or two from now.

I wish I knew about this when I had slower internet but will be useful if my internet ever goes out

I liked the OCP logo in the beginning.

How do you do this on a rooted Android device?

Just shows how ambiguous the data limits are. :D

Why does my regular Wifi Connection improve when I run this command? I am on my usual home network and I can get slightly faster speeds.

Hey Glytch, looking forward to more like this! Also interested in how you're doing CAD on your phone. What CAD software are you using, and how is the performance?

This also works on iPhone/iPad hotspots! Improved my otherwise throttled connection 9-fold on my Visible plan.

So after my 50gbs ran out my speeds slowed down to just bytes and update downloads say expected complete time more than a year...

Love'n glitch tips! Keep it coming bro!

Can't help but notice Glitch's GPD Win Max

Awesome man. 👍🏼 Keep 'em coming!

Effective CAD on a phone? Please do tell! iPhone.

You in a van bro? Cool asf tbh

Awesome video man. Very smart, and it works!

Thank you so much Glitch. I love your videos.

How do I see what people are doing on my wifi network? Like if my kids are talking to who their supposed to be, is there a way I can see their text messages, or their Facebook messenger messages? I have access to the phones which are android galaxy Z fold 2's.

Glitch I love your videos so much knowledge you share thank you man

Can you explain why this works to trick the phone / modem into thinking the Hotspot data isn't coming from the hotspot?

How does it work? I mean is it really possible to get unlimited internet data JUST by setting that hopelimit=65? Don't we have to do anything in mobile phone??? Anyone please?

Very cool, glad to see this easy method

A VPN would not accomplish this. This is because a VPN uses normal packets (with default TTL) that encapsulates the VPN frames inside. Since the outer packets are routed as normal packets, the TTL is not overridden in this way.

You need to do this with a WiFi pineapple. This is such a tip and I love the van at the moment

I haven't researched how this works internally yet but would it be possible to do something similar to bypass the data limits on residential and commercial ISPs?

is the carrier only limiting based on the TTL?

I love the GlytchTips

I have the Samsung Z Fold2 as well and would love to see some of your tips and tricks for it.

Hello Dudes! does it still work in 2024 verizon ?

Me and Glytch have the same blanket :)

Any chance you could show us how to do this on a macOS system?

To you have any updates on this? I was using it but now it doesn’t work my cellular provider said I used up all my hotspot data when before I was using it a whole lot more without issues?

just had big nostalgia seeing cmd and remember watching star wars in ascii

This doesnt seem to work anymore for the services I have tried in 2023. It seems carriers are finding ways to disable these simple "hacks".

love this video, tried it but it didnt work.

Still works in 22, thanks for the tech tip

I was so excited for this because I was wondering the same thing. My LTE carrier throttles tethered Wi-Fi data down to 512kbps. Sadly setting my laptop default hop limit didn't work to get around it. Still at a measly half MB

I get around 1000Gb a week at 350-480mbps. only pay around Usd 1.30 in malaysia.

i want to see more of this!

Very good, but description could be more clear (less click baity) otherwise, I am impressed by the video! More like this please. Hack the planet!

now this is epic

Can you do this on a Linux computer? I'm not using windows anymore. Thanks!

This is an issue I did not know existed. Where I live I can get unlimited 5g connection for ~25 USD. Works with my phone as a hotspot as well.

Yooo.. greetings from the east coast! nice video, ive been using pdanet(win&android) w/connectify then into router to have all my iot devices to connect.. im bussing min 250 gig monthly on my current setup..been on it for years.. Loyal fan wishing i had a van..

In Cmd push up arrow and the last command will be shown. No need to retype such a similar command.

Great tip. Much obliged.

yes.

This works for downloading games and updates. But if you try to play CSGO with it set to 65 it will make you have 600+ ping. I know that some apps don't work with this and playing counter strike is one of them.

I am also really interested in how you are using your phone it seems really unique.

Instead of a VPN could you just use an encrypted DNS like 1dot instead?

How about for linux?

does this also work with usb tethering form an iphone to a travel router wired to a PC? if so you just solved all my issues

Man u made my day ! Thanks a loooot

Excellent video!!
