Show HN: DIY solution to enable hotspot, when your eSIM does not support it

&gt; I wondered: why can&#x27;t I use my phone&#x27;s LTE data to hotspot?<p>I heard of this 10 years ago, but is this still the case in the US? You can&#x27;t just hotspot? I thought iOS and Mac devices did this automatically when they were near each other.

So, regarding the title: &quot;support&quot; is used euphemistically here to mean &quot;permit&quot; (an editorialization not present in the article). This euphemism is usually used by companies who want to de-emphasize their exertion of control over you - Apple is particularly fond of it (as when they say they do not &quot;support&quot; downgrading iOS - there is no technical restriction, they just don&#x27;t want you to). Here, though, it seems to be to de-emphasize the &quot;rule breaking&quot; nature of this hack - the original title is far more blunt: &quot;Bypassing hotspot limits on iOS&quot;.<p>It is interesting that this hack is <i>entirely</i> about defeating a conspiracy between Apple and a network operator to control what goes on beyond the netop&#x27;s endpoint, and it does this - barely - by exploiting the fact that an iOS device is still a general purpose computer despite Apple&#x27;s best efforts:<p>&gt; After an hour or two of constantly running sshd on iSH, your phone gets warm and toasty. This is because iSH emulates all of its commands—-but for good reason, App Store approval!<p>This is not a good reason.

Thanks for sharing!<p>&gt; When you use a hotspot on iOS, your device treats your hotspot&#x27;s network packets differently than the network data that apps use. Hotspot packets get routed differently, and they get metered<p>The OP doesn&#x27;t mention it but it looks like a case of where the operator monitors TTL of packets to detect tethering.<p>E.g.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;piped.video&#x2F;watch?v=alMsu_tfZPE" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;piped.video&#x2F;watch?v=alMsu_tfZPE</a><p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;RiFi2k&#x2F;unlimited-tethering">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;RiFi2k&#x2F;unlimited-tethering</a>
