Tethering

Does anyone know how to hide that your tethering on a mobile device, or hide what date your downloading so the mobile network wont know if your tethering or not?.

traditional way to hide data is to use a VPN

Is that hard to setup?.

Easy on my iPhone

No need to faff around with VPNs. If you have an iphone (jailbroken) or android handset just search for 'PDANet' in cydia store or Android market and this will allow you to hide your tethering activities. Been using this for ages and works brilliantly! Not free but worth it to save tethering charges!

If you're on 3 they let you tether for free and even allow your iPhone to act as a wifi hotspot

They also do not block YouTube of iplayer like some operators

Can't go wrong!

Will this work with a samsung galaxy s2 if its not jailbroken, and will this stop the mobile network finding out how much data you've used and stop them sending you warning emails?.
