Why use the VPS? I’m missing something but as long the bandwidth is high enough and the latency is low enough it should work. As with any VPN, you’re not “directly” on the network so auto detect might not work.

Fair enough, this is 10 days of usage for me always being on.

“It incurs additional battery usage.“

Does it? I always use a vpn on my phone and laptop and it’s not even measurable. Sure there’s gonna be more CPU usage, but with hardware acceleration and whatnot it’s almost nothing.

The more usage the better, unused ram is wasted ram.

It hasn’t made a difference for me, I’m on Verizon if that matters. I’ve got Wireguard set to always on and all traffic but I still get the usage notifications. IIRC there’s a separate apn for any traffic that goes through the hotspot or tethering connection and that’s how it’s monitored. The traffic will be encrypted, but they can still see it.

Doesn’t matter, it still gets flagged as hotspot traffic.

What an awesome piece of art. 10/10
