Root [MetroPCS] Tethering for MPCS.F6....!!! All Roms **VIDEO for stock only** UPDATED 12-02-14

What does the VPN do? I have used VPNs for quite some time now on the PC side. What roles do they play in this process of tethering to console that's different from the process of tethering to a PC? And, if you use them, can they eliminate the need for a "User Agent" plug-in for your browser on the PC side?

I'm not sure what it does to help but If you use a vpn, you will not need a user agent string for pc

This is pretty significant. The "User Agent", for me anyway, was a pain the ass until it was done. Using a VPN, seems easier on the surface, unless there is a decrease in download/upload speed?

WiFi Hotspot and USB Tether app
1. Easy to configure
2. Was able to use encryption and open.
3. I didn't need to "kill" system/bin/hostapd.
4. Still need an "User Agent" on the PC side.

How is your speed?
 
I used Speakeasy Speedtest and got 17.x Mbps up and down. That's cell data. WiFi where I am now is 1.85x down and .66x up


EDIT: Are we always sharing cell data [AND NOT WiFi] with these tethering apps?

With wifi tether u do not share cell data.
It totally jump calls and sync. Which runs on wcdma or Gsm
Our phone does not hav voice over LTE.
It gives u internet data only thats why u can make calls over wifi or wcdma or gsm
Thats why When u make a call ur phone will drop to 4G (wcdma,gsm)
My data speed its about 13-50 down n 9-23 up.
Depending where im located.
The only one is a bit more faster is through usb tether.
But like i said it all depends in locations.
