I recently switched over to the new cricket service after it was bought out by sprint/at&t and got a new ZTE smart phone to match. One issue here, they have removed the portable wi-fi hotspot option in the new phone which I was using before I switched over to connect my laptop to the internet so I downloaded easytether(free version) which connects my laptop to the internet through my phone. Easytether is great and everything but it won't load youtube, any google service, facebook, twitter and most likely a whole lot of other sites that I regularly use. I'm very computer literate and used a proxy to load some sites on easytether(free version) but it's pretty harsh for example I can load a youtube page but it says the video is unavailable.

1. Is the purchased version easytether pro able to load all sites?
2. What is a better way to connect my laptop to the internet through my phone?
3. Can I alter easytether(free version) code to make it load sites?
4. Can I alter code on my new phone ZTE to add the portable wifi hotspot option and will it work or is the cricket service gonna block it?
5. is there freeware for the easytether full?

Free "lite" version of Easy Tether won't load any HTTPS secure sites, that's why FB, Google etc. won't load. Paid version does. Can't help with anything else.
