I mean, they’re not wrong. But it’s not tiktok, it’s almost all social media and consequently, 99% of the internet.

This worked for me, but for OP: don’t forget to enable it back on after login. It’s not required to watch Twitch, only for ‘the first’ login.

They require an extra fee to share connection via Wi-Fi.

Essentially, they can detect that your phone sends two types of ttl packets (your own and recipient device’s).

When they detect it, they cut 99% of your connection speed and redirect you to page with “Enable wifi sharing for 1$/day or continue at 60 kb/s”. (airplane mode toggle removes the speed cut-off).

I use a very simple solution:

echo 63 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_default_ttl

This line is executed at boot by djs magisk plugin. When the default ttl is 63, it’ll match the ttl value of all Linux and Android recipient devices.

But I still haven’t defeated the Windows detection: for a start, Windows ttl is 127, but even if I change it on the recipient PC, my carrier could see windows-related packets and still blocks me out. I even tried the vpn, but that’s still not enough.

I still root my phone for Freezing System Apps, reVanced, AdAway(system-wide adblock), Shell automation, circumventing Hotspot restrictions from my Carrier.

I’ve also been a customization junkie before (mainly with audio mods and UI plugins for Exposed). Not anymore.

But since then rooting to me become not only a means to the end, but an essential part of my phone, as in I get to control and choose what and why is installed/active, not the Vendor/Google. I would root my phone even if I didn’t had the need, just cause I like owning things, opposed to modern standard of “everything is a service”.

I only need a mobile data, no cap, 5-10 Mbps for 4$/mo in East Russia.
