if your mobile provider tries to stop you tethering (including when roaming) using your allowance, it's worth trying (on mac):
sudo sysctl net.inet.ip.ttl=65
sudo sysctl net.inet6.ip6.hlim=65
this adds +1 to the time to live of your computer's packets and fools simple detectors which try to block tethering on the basis that it is one extra hop from computer to phone before going to the telco. #netneutrality #deviceneutrality
