Artifical restrictions placed on tethering make it difficult to work from home for those not fortunate to have a high-speed ISP
* Your mobile provider cannot prove this method (link:https://github.com/RiFi2k/unlimited-tethering[among some others]) is being used, since it's thorough with getting around their checks
* Your mobile provider can speculate based on data usage patterns (especially if no VPN is used), so use lots of data at your own risk
* Your mobile provider cannot:
** Entirely prove this method (link:https://github.com/RiFi2k/unlimited-tethering[among some others]) is being used
* Your mobile provider can (if no VPN is used):
** Check for specific domains being connected to that only a Windows PC would connect to, but not an Android phone, to assume the current month is all tethered traffic
** Using link:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_packet_inspection[DPI software], traffic can be shaped/tampered/manipulated/throttled based on certain criteria(s), such as Video Streaming (making YouTube videos or Netflix buffer more, some like T-Mobile force lower video quality)

.Good paid VPN providers do the following:
* Transparent communication, and all software used is open-source
* Use only dedicated/physical servers (faster and more secure than virtual servers, called "VPS" or "VDS")
* Servers are only located in countries with lots of transit capability (for South America, is only Brazil)
* No fake server locations (unless for streaming purposes on specific domains/websites, and is stated as such)
* All server locations allow all forms of traffic except outbound port 25 (to prevent email spam abuse)
* Word of mouth advertising; not shoved in your face by sponsored YouTube videos and Google Ads
* VPN's company is not based in a tax haven country; tax haven = profitability is heavily considered, meaning they'd likely sell your data to earn more profit
For your own research, avoid all websites recommending VPNs under the parent company "Kape Technologies": https://restoreprivacy.com/private-internet-access-kape-crossrider/
