What is the difference between cellular data being used on my phone and cellular data being used on my notebook? Data is data.

A less complicated method that I used for years:
-D 8888)localhostport8888It doesn’t redirect all traffic (you’d want to avoid system updates, for example) but might be easier than messing with iptables.
It may be easier to just run a VPN on the phone and route the traffic through it? WireGuard runs on Android. I’ve never tried configuring it to forward data through it though, but it should work.
I tried that, the carrier could still differentiate it from local traffic (or at least my speed test results were vastly different).
It’s possible they’ve gotten smarter these days.
I don’t know how ISPs are allowed to do this when it’s a very obvious violation of net neutrality.
If I recall correctly, they justify it by claiming they need to do deep packet inspection to balance traffic. There’s a fuzzy line between them needing to optimize their network equipment and respecting privacy, and the rulings seem to favor the former.
There is an app that can change TTL value through
iptables. It requires root.
