Title. Basically I just want to use the Wi-Fi hotspot on my phone, it connects and everything but then no Internet.

    Careful doing just this. They actually track http request headers and look for desktop signifiers, so your best bet is to use a VPN in tandem with whatever setup you go with. (Tried doing this a few years back without the vpn, they sent me some very upset texts.)

      I use desktop mode all the time on my phone’s browser because mobile sites are too limited. How can they just assume nobody is doing this? Sometimes I even use desktop version of Firefox in Termux because mobile browsers tend to crash large uploads with locked screen.

      But I guess I shouldn’t be surprised if they already do this hotspot usage limiting. Greed has no limits.
