Not exactly what easytether is using to tether the internet from the X but it seems so much more stable than anything else eg. Wifi tether (even new AP mode release) and 3G hotspot. I find myself constantly reconnecting reboot and reprogramming the X to reconnect uses anything besides easytether. It doesn't require root so why can't we figure how their opening a port and make something similar that is free and doesn't block https websites?
Try barnacle wifi. I've been using it and seems a bit more stable.
If you don't need secure websites, I'd use EasyTether. Wired will ALWAYS be better than wireless
using these programs dont raise any eye brows at verizon? i dont want any extra charges.
I think if you tether, then hit UseNet and download 10GB of stuff overnight, it might alarm them.
For general internet use (checking mail, web browsing, YouTubing), it shouldn't since your phone does the same thing already.
I've been doing it for years and have never seen an extra charge.

When I am using the app the internet is really slow on my computer and takes a long time for a simple page to load. I know it is not my location because when I use the browser on the phone it loads a lot faster. Is there a fix I can do to make it faster?
Barnacle works great for my use, so I can only guss what your issue might be. You might try pdanet, easytether, or perhaps even proxoid.
I did a quick google search on the first two, and they will tether via usb. Not every wifi adapter likes ad hoc handshakes. Since you are connecting directly to a laptop, tethering via usb eliminates wifi (as a potential issue) from the equation. Just please don't abuse the connection over much.
Cheers and good luck.
Can I use my phone and connect to a wireless signal (gogo inflight) and use Wifi tether on my laptop?
2 reasons for this. it's cheaper to use Mobile devices with GoGo Inflight and if you can share it with a 2nd client, that's buy one get one free. LOL
Your phone won't be able to "repeat" the gogo inflight. It can't receive and transmit at the same time.

You might be able to blue tooth tether, but I don't know if wifi tether uses any connection or if it will only use 3g...

didn't even realize that we could BT tether, what about USB tether?
I'm interested in this too: has anyone tried tethering Gogo with a PC over USB, and have you been able to use the Gogo internet on your PC without Gogo complaining that your browser user-agent wasn't a mobile phone user-agent?

From lifehacker:
"Home and technology blog Unplggd offers a few tips on grabbing in-flight Wi-Fi on the cheap. The obvious suggestions are Googling coupon codes (or checking RetailMeNot) and buying in packages (you can cut out up to 35% this way), but it turns out you can grab a free Wi-Fi pass pretty easily through promotions. If you're renting a car, booking a travel package, or just getting a parking spot near the airport, there are often promotions to get a free in-flight Wi-Fi pass. Just call and ask.
Here's a bonus, semi-evil tip for getting a discount without any codes: identify your laptop's browser user agent as a mobile phone (Firefox/Chrome). When you fly, Wi-Fi for mobile phones is usually a few dollars cheaper than it is for bigger devices like a laptop or even a tablet. If you identify your web browser as a mobile phone when you sign up, you'll pay the lower price. Once the sign up is complete, you can switch back and browse normally."
I didn't find this one after Googling, thanks
(The point of tethering here is also to have both your phone and your PC connected to the internet with only one subscription, not only to pay cheaper)

Both Wired Tether and the built-in USB Tethering can be used to tether a wifi connection. I do this regularly as my laptop's wireless card is often allergic to access points.
A neat thing I discovered was that while you are on the plane, you can connect to GoGo without signing in. Most things won't work, but google maps and google voice will. I was texting everyone (GV) during my last few flights.
Anyone else discover anything else that works in flight?
Hello.
I have a rooted Chinese dual SIM phone. I've been tethering to my laptop using my phone networks unlimited phone data plan for the past couple of years but finally they've cut me off for cheating.
I've been googling how to get round the tethering detection solid for 24 hours now with no definitive answer. Almost all the responses on the search relate to either people in America having their tethering options removed (not me) or people who think all they have to do is switch their browsers user-agent.
Obviously any windows 7 laptop runs dozens of services that use the internet, even if its just checking for updates through the day, all of which can rightly be flagged up as tethering traffic.
I'm quite poor and don't want to spend more than I currently do for the internet, I use about 10GB a month just now with hundreds of calls and texts free for £12 (Giffgaff). I have another secret Giffgaff sim that isn't activated yet, the network coverage here is pretty good compared to the rest so I'm keen to stay with them.
I've read a lot about VPN's but tbh I don't trust them, I can't see why a network wouldnt be able to detect that straight away? Am I wrong there?
The ideal solution for me would be an app on the phone that routes all traffic through the device, so that everything they see looks as though it has come from my phone. Setting up the phone as a VPN server would work I think, then connect the computer to it when I need it, I've no idea where to start though.
You'd think this would be a problem with a common, working solution, given how useful it is. Sadly Google is clueless on this one.
VPN data should be encrypted so they cannot see what's in it. The only problem you have is trust/security. Do you trust the VPN server to handle your data safely.
Next solution would be to set your home PC as a VPN server. That way your data is your data. But that does mean leaving your PC on when you want to tether.
Data flow:
Laptop ===> Phone ===> ~~Mobile Internet~~ ===> Home PC -----> ~~Home Broadband~~ -----> To the internet
===> VPN secured
-----> Regular transmission
Well, I would suggest something like EasyTether, it's a USB tether from your phone/tablet to PC /Mac/Linux. But what exactly are you using to tether (not phone, as in app or setting)?

WIFI TETHER for Sprint S7 Sorry for typo
I am on a Sprint S7 G930PVPS4APK1 ANDORID VERSION 6.0.1. I live in the sticks and wifi tether is the only way I can get high speed for home. The quick reboot method no longer works. I have rooted other phones, but am no expert, and hesitate to try rooting my S7. Can't afford the ins if I brick it.
I have found From lots of reading (thanks to many) that using PDAnet+ alows me to use USB tethering to a laptop. The lap top will then work as a WIFI hotspot with what seems like reasonable speed. I was able to use the wifi on a tablet and stream Netflix, which is what I really want. Works great. It will be worth the $8 bucks to unlock PDAnet for unlimited data. So this works as Jan 2017 for free wifi hotspot.. I have seen no other recent references to this. i should mention i have unlimited data so have not
I do have a question While the WIfi hotspot from the tethered laptop works great, I can not seem to get my Chrome cast to connect to it. I really need this. It satys problem connecting to wifi router. I can't figure out why. The only clue? I constantly get a pop up on the laptop saying intel intelligent wifi is disabled while app running? any ideas would be very helpful TIA
This is more for people who live in rural-ish areas (Like Me), who can't get decent internet for gaming.
I HAVE NOT TESTED THIS METHOD ON BLUETOOTH OR WIFI TETHERING, ONLY USB.
People who use Verizon tethering as a everyday necessity for home PC access, knows there's a 10-15gig cap.
I'm sure you all use a app like PDANET+ or so on to bypass it, but don't you notice the increased latency?
(Can also cause increased speeds because you're technically using Verizon's tethering, not PDANET+'s)
This is a fix for that, more like a bypass I suppose.
1) Install/Purchase PDANET+ from play store.
(I'd link it, but this is my first post, they won't let me.)
2) Turn on USB tethering in app, BUT DO NOT CLICK CONNECT ON YOUR PC YET.
3) Turn on USB tethering on through your phone and connect it to your PC.
(Let this connect)
.4) Now connect PDANET+ tethering through your PC.
Very simple.
What I've noticed is that PDANET+'s connection is not used but in fact STILL hides all tethering usage.
By inspecting my Ethernet in/outputs through task manager I noticed PDANET+'s connection is not in use.
But the original phone tether is, if you watch it, while opening a website, it will show 0kbps sent and received.
BUT the graph will show that it's actually sending a full speed NON-throttled connection.
Which means you're getting fasted speeds, and better latency typically (not in all cases) than PDANET+'s.
That's about it for my first post, ya'll play around with it.
Thanks!
