Comment on I have unlimited cellular data on my phone but not if I use it as a hotspot.

Sometimes it’s based on the TTL of packets. TTL for hotspot clients will be one less than TTL for directly using data on the phone, since the phone is acting as a router, which adds an extra hop.

I think running a HTTP proxy or VPN server on the phone would mask it, but I’ve never tried.
