I was throttled last month after I went over my 7 GB. I also got the 1 GB warning text from T-Mobile others have posted on this forum. As a MSCE and Cisco network engineer, I wasn't going to tolerate being throttled and monitored. Over the last few weeks, I've been using my networking skills to monitor how T-Mobile monitors packets to figure out how data is going to the mobile or if it's being sent over a hotspot. More importantly, I've been working to bypass their monitoring. I'm happy to announce that I've figured out a way around it.
In initial testing, I've been able to use as much data as I want on both a PC and Android tablet without it increasing Hotspot data (T-Mobile thinks the data is still going to the phone and its data increases instead). There are two requirements:
1) You have to be on a T-Mobile Unlimited data package with either 5 GB or 7 GB of hotspot available.
2) You can not currently be over your hotspot limit and throttled
3) You have to use a VPN on the device you're sending data two. I've tested it with two paid VPN services so far (I'm behind both as I post this from a PC).
Things to do:
a) Test with a a free VPN service (doing this later today)
b) Test with crApple products (need to find a friend with a Mac, iPhone, and/or an iPad...over the years I've convinced everyone I know to switch to Android)
c) Make installers for easy use
I expect release this weekend or early next week.
PS: Because I've already had a few PM's asking if I needed help testing. No, thank you. I know it works. I'm currently at over 17 GB of hotspot usage without any throttling or warning texts from T-Mobile even though I got them last month and I know my account is being heavily monitored.
Also, when I said I'll be releasing it soon, it'll be a paid product. I haven't decided on a price yet, but since apps like Foxfi Key and WiFi Tether Router no longer work, it'll be more expensive than them. This will include updates IF T-Mobile discovers a way to stop my current method (I already have other contingencies/modifications in mind).
Everyone wants proof, so here's two images that I'm connected to a VPN and still receiving unthrottled data
