Hey just wanted to ask for some recommendations on tethering my phone to my laptop. Would be nice to have options to hide tether usage if possible. Thanks

PDAnet I've tethered a laptop to a phone via usb and bluetooth that way. Nowadays I just run my SIM in an LTE router and share the connection via wifi.

hide tether usage if possible

Some solutions involving tweaking TTL.

I've never had to do any sort of configuration for tethering. It just works as expected with the network managers built into whatever DE I was using at the time.

I don't know what you mean by hiding usage. Like using a VPN? That should work fine while tethering as well.

99% chance they mean hide the tethering usage from their provider.
