How to bypass the restriction of distribution of unlimited mobile Internet. About the World Wide Web

First of all, I would like to tell you a little about the tariff itself from MTS, which made quite a lot of noise due to enough low price monthly fees and great features. And after that we will tell you about ways to bypass the distribution of the Internet to other devices.

IMPORTANT! Article updated 01.02.2019 . A VERY important innovation from MTS has been added. Information at the end of the article.

According to the Wikipedia site - TTL (Time to live) is the maximum period of time for which a data set (packet) can exist before it disappears. Wherein maximum value TTL=255. The usual initial TTL value for phones and tablets is 64 (Linux, Mac, Android, iOS), For Windows TTL is 128 . As you can see, the ttl value for phones and Windows is different, because of this, the Internet is not distributed.

If we draw small conclusions, then we get that for the distribution need to change TTL:
Android - TTL 64 ( dispenser) = 64 (TTL) WiFi
Windows - TTL 65 ( receiving device) -1 = 64 (TTL) WiFi
Windows - TTL 63 ( dispenser) = 63 (TTL) USB modem 3G/4G Huawei
Android - TTL 64 ( receiving device) -1 = 63 (TTL) "Mobile hotspot" Wi-Fi

As an example, to bypass the distribution of the Internet, mts tariff for a computer / laptop, we will use the program TTLPatch. You can download the program for Windows.

Official update of the tariff from 01.02. 2019 :

Good speed everyone! If you have any questions, ask them in the comments. Also share the speed of your internet.

It happened just under two months ago. And then I managed to get another 60 rubles. Moreover, this is not my inattention, but simply money stolen from me. Well, I didn’t start this war, and I don’t need to explain about “technical errors”. But in turn, I now feel that I have every right to tell people how they (well, at least me) are being scammed for money, and to get the right to dispose of my own internet(well, at least if the phone is on android) - and how to get around the rule introduced from November 10 by MTS to charge an additional fee of 30 rubles a day for whether you decide to use Wi-Fi Internet on your phone, or decide to distribute it to your own computer. (UPD. It should be noted that everything written was true for the first version of Unlimited, which now appears in the archive tariffs under the name Smart Unlimited 052016; and the introduced new unlimited is not any unlimited, read more and). But about everything - in order, under the cut.

So, a little over six months ago, MTS rolled out its new tariff plan- Unlimited. At that time - not to say that it was a breakthrough, because they had something similar, but among the other three operators - it really was an event. And the most important thing in this no-limit was that people no longer needed to take themselves home or to the office additionally wired Internet(well, if they are not torrent downloaders, of course), and they could easily switch the mobile phone to the distribution mode, and continue to use this Internet at home and sitting at the computer, and not just sticking it into the phone on the couch. At the same time, the MTS support service especially focused on this, here is just one screenshot from the correspondence:

Yep, people are happy. Advertising a pearl from all the slots, screens, posters, Nagiyev - has already specifically pulled up with his "It's not just moisture - but ...". And now, after 6 months, when most of of the interested people changed the tariff / transferred from other operators for the sake of this opportunity, MTS - makes a feint with its ears: it announces that now it will charge for distributing the Internet at the MTS Unlimited tariff. At the same time - with the cost of the tariff of 590 rubles, the additional payment for distribution will be one and a half times more - 900 rubles per month (30 rubles per day)!

How was it there? Unlimited? No, Unlimited! So here. To say that this is shitty is to say nothing. This is Dokhrenishcha! Probably, if the operator had approached this adequately, and set a reasonable price, well, half of the tariff, let’s say, people would hiccup and swallow (not by night we’ll mention the beeline, which generally allows you to distribute for crazy money - but there it’s more like a closing measure so that people do not use this service).

Well, I will not speak for the whole people, but I will speak for myself. So, even with this price, I - honestly - hiccupped, and swallowed. Should I pay more? Well, I’m kind of like a law-abiding citizen, here’s the concluded contract, which means I’ll pay, especially since, as indicated in the SMS sent to me in advance and in the description of the tariff on the MTS website, that money is debited only on the day when the service is used - once, and 100 MB per day is free - two.

One day I cry, the second I cry. And so, on Saturday-Sunday, when I don’t use a computer at all (it just stands and buzzes quietly in a corner in standby mode), I leave the Internet distribution on the phone with a calm soul. And what - 100 MB is included, updates are all disabled on my computer, so the maximum that he can do is pull the phone a couple of times, saying that I'm here. And suddenly, I get a message on Tuesday that my number is blocked. To be honest, I'm a little perplexed, because theoretically there should have been enough money there until Thursday, and on Wednesday I thought to replenish the balance.

Immediately I order the bill details, and what do we see? And on Saturday and Sunday - a maximum of 20 kilobytes of traffic out of a hundred free MEGABYTES was used (I repeat with letters - TWENTY, not even MEGABYTE, but KILOBYTE!). At the same time, 30 rubles were written off (excluding VAT - 25 kopecks) for the distribution service. Here is a screenshot of the detail for the 19th, for the 20th - the same is there. I deliberately added one line before this day, and one after, so that you can see what it is for this day:

Thus, MTS threw me 60 rubles with a fairly slight movement of the hand. And this is only one person, I don’t know how many such people are sitting on unlimited, but even if we assume at least a million, then we will receive 60 million rubles on an innocent write-off for one weekend alone, about which we can then shrug our shoulders, apologize and say - well, what happens, a technical error, of course we will return 60 rubles to you - you are the only one so corrosive who was able to detect it. No guys - it's already a matter of principle, and I don't believe one iota (funny pun) that this mistake is accidental.

All this prompted me to study this issue, and see what people think and offer, and how to get around this limitation. After all, stealing from a thief is not a crime, and if you also distribute it to people, then in general Robin Hood is pure water.

So, how does MTS graze those people who distribute the Internet from their devices? Well, in the sense - how does he know that a person turned on the distribution on the phone?

Exactly - no one will tell us, but theoretically - there can be several ways.

Firstly, these are applications like My MTS. If you have it, there is a non-zero chance to receive SMS of happiness. Away from sin - we demolish.

Secondly, these are Windows updates for desktops. Think for yourself from the side of MTS - if you do not distribute the Internet, then why do you need them on your phone? Hence the conclusion - connected from a computer to a phone that distributes the Internet - turned off WINDOWS updates, well, or put up with an update at a price of 30 rubles.

And thirdly, this is the so-called TTL, stands for Time To live. TTL is such a thing that every packet on the network has, it contains the number of nodes (servers, computers, routers) through which it can pass, each node, when a packet passes through it, reduces this value by 1 unit. For example, if you turn on the “Mobile hotspot” (tethering) mode on your smartphone, the TTL from the connected devices passing through it will be 1 less than expected.

Each device has its own TTL. For example, on smartphones - it is 64 by default, on computers / laptops - 128. Thus, if a packet with a TTL value different from 64 arrives at the router on the provider's side, it means that something else is connected through our device. A package with a value of 63 arrived, which means the tablet is connected. Came with a value of 127 - it means that they connected the Win computer. And from here two simple conclusions:

1. The TTL coming to the provider must be hard-coded and not differ from one packet to another, regardless of which connected device sent it
2. It should be fixed at a value of 64. Any other value - MTS will immediately burn, like using a smartphone for distribution using special programs (which we will talk about later).

And of course, it immediately becomes clear how to deal with this TTL check.

If you have Internet from your smartphone distributed only to a stationary computer / laptop, and not distributed to other smartphones / tablets, then everything is elementary, there is no need to even do something with the phone from which the Internet is distributed via Wi Fi. All we need is to force our computers to send packets with a TTL value of 65, when passing through a smartphone, one will be taken away, packets with a value of 64 will come to the MTS. Thus, it will be possible to distinguish them from packets sent by the smartphone itself. no longer possible. Bingo!

So how do you do it? Also very simple. All you have to do is make changes to the registry.

For 32 bit windows:

1. Run the registry editor. The easiest way is to press Win + R, type regedit and press Enter.
2. Open a branch at:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters

3. We create a DWORD parameter (32 bits) there with the name DefaultTTL, open it, select the decimal system and drive in the required TTL as the value. In our case, this is 64 + 1 = 65.
4. Click "OK", close the registry, restart the computer.

For 64 bit windows- everything is the same, only an identical QWORD parameter (64 bits) is created.

For those who are afraid of all the above lines of making changes to the registry - good people posted ready-made Reg files who will make the changes for you. All you need is:

• download the file for the corresponding version of Windows (note - for 32-bit windows - in the body of the message, but for 64-bit - in the comments, because in the body of the message a curve file)
• double click on the file
• agree to amend the registry
• to restart a computer

Well, the final chord is checking the result on a computer:

1. We start distributing from a smartphone
2. We look at the ip of the phone (for me it is a click on the Wi-Fi icon> right-click on the distributed network> Status> Details> Default Gateway)
3. On the connected PC, call the cmd command line
4. Enter the command ping, space, phone ip, enter
5. The exchange of packets begins, we look at what TTL value they have. If 64, all is well. If any other - MTS will burn you.

Everything is much more complicated if, in addition to a computer, you need to distribute the Internet to a tablet, TV, or some kind of iPhone. Well, or Samsung - depending on who has what preferences. And there are two ways to go here: the first is to change the TTL on this very tablet, TV, smartphone in the same way as we changed the TTL on our computer. I will not describe this path, since the way to change the TTL on the device connected to the donor depends directly on this device, for most devices it is very difficult, and these devices from different manufacturers are a wagon and a small cart.

Therefore, you can use the second way - this is to force our smartphone, which distributes the Internet via Wi-Fi, to rewrite its header before sending the packet to the provider, setting the TTL we need. It also doesn’t work on all smartphones, and for example, on an iPhone without a jailbreak, nothing will work, and on Android smartphones, if you can’t get root rights, it’s also not a fact that it will work. But if it works, then will work for all devices connected to it, including the computers and laptops described above, so you don't even have to use the first described method with changing the TTL to 65, and poking around in their registries.

So the methodology is:

1. We get Root rights for your smartphone, which will act as a donor and distribute the Internet via WiFi. How to get these rights is individual for each device, in general, there are corresponding programs on w3bsit3-dns.com and relevant sections for almost all devices with detailed instructions on how to do this. Enter the name of the device and the word root in the search bar - press the search button - we get the result. For example, I managed to do this using the Framaroot program, although not the first time. For someone - KingRoot may be suitable, for someone - 360Root. In general, try it.
2. We go again to w3bsit3-dns.com and download the wonderful TTL Master program. Please note that we needversion: 3.0.1!!! If you download version 4.01, then you will not succeed, this version is only suitable for (I don’t know about version 2.01) !!! Although, judging by my previous publications, I understand that ~ 10% of people still can’t read, and they will write in the comments that nothing worked for them, but that they downloaded the wrong version even into their head will not come. Here you will see.
3. Let's start this program. By default, it contains settings for, i.e. 63 and looks like this:

We need the number 64 in the circle, and it looks like this:

To do this, you just need to change 63 to 64 🙂 But, as I said, version 4.01 does not support changing this parameter, this can only be done in version 3.01 (and possibly lower). How to change? Everything is simple. We enter the settings by clicking on the gear in the upper right corner, and in the menu items "TTL value" and "TTL value in the input field" set the value to 64.

Now we press the buttons "Apply" or "Bypass restrictions" (depending on whether you have the second or third version) and mandatory - "Try the ipTables rule"(not sure if it is in the second version). After that, we transfer the phone to the flight mode, and return it back to the working mode so that the phone reconnects with the new settings to the base station.

You can check from a computer using the Ping command, accessing the donor phone, like me.

In general, of course, the situation - when the provider decides for you on which YOUR devices you use the Internet - smacks of nonsense. Imagine that wired Internet comes to you, then it is distributed through a router via WiFI, and the provider says - you can use it from your phone, but from a tablet and computer - no, no. Imagine that you bought a car, and the manufacturer says - you can carry yourself on it, but your wife and cargo are no longer there, or you can, but paying the manufacturer of this car for every day when you drove together - a certain bribe.

I see a direct need to raise before the FAS and other regulatory bodies the issue of the admissibility of charging for the Internet consumed when it is transferred to other devices, especially given the fact that the Internet can only be consumed within a limited radius from the location of the distributing device; as well as the admissibility of deceiving customers by writing off a subscription fee for a service not actually rendered, as happened in my case, when 60 rubles were debited from me, despite the fact that there was no actual distribution. And if today I decided to limit myself to just this article, then a couple of such tricks from MTS - and I do not exclude that someone will get tired of this business, and MTS will already have a class action lawsuit.

In the meantime, I hope this article will help you, in which I tried to summarize all the publicly available information that I collected bit by bit from the Internet.

UPD. 03/30/2017: It should be noted that everything written is true for the very first version of Unlimited, which now appears in archive tariffs called Smart Unlimited 052016; and the new Unlimited, introduced on March 27, is not even close to any unlimited, limiting traffic to ten GB; you can read more about it in comparison with the old original unlimited, and how to replace it now -. In short, MTS has a connect4 tariff (but you still need to deal with it, everything is written in the description that the devil himself will break his leg). If you don’t want to figure it out, but you still need a lot of Internet, then you still have to go to the limit, just with large quantity included traffic:

After the advent of high-speed Internet, MTS subscribers no longer have to look for open access to WI-FI. In addition, it is possible not only to use unlimited access to the World Wide Web, but also to share this opportunity with others.

How to share traffic for free

So, how to distribute MTS Internet for free? This can be done by any subscriber who is served by the MTS operator, and also has a smartphone that supports the necessary function.

It is worth noting that all modern smartphones that allow the owner to access the Internet can also be used as an access point.

In this case, traffic is distributed from the phone, which can be used not only through other smartphones, but also through a laptop or tablet. This feature is very convenient, as it allows you to connect to the Internet through a computer. Despite the wide functionality of modern smartphones, there are still a lot of tasks that are most conveniently performed through a computer, while having access to the Internet.

Basically, there are three main ways that allow you to distribute the Internet through your phone with a SIM card from MTS:

• By WI-FI. It works on the same principle as through a modem. To distribute the Internet through your phone, you need to go to its settings, visit the "Wireless networks" section and open the "Modem mode" section. After activating all the necessary settings, the phone can be used as a modem.
• Through USB. It is enough to connect the phone to the computer and again activate the necessary function through the phone settings. It is possible that the device will require you to install special drivers, without which you will not be able to share the Internet with your computer. Such drivers can be found on the Internet or on the installation disk with programs.
• Via bluetooth. It's not the best the best option, but still become an assistant in a critical situation. With it, the Internet will be distributed at a low speed, while over a short distance. You can activate the function through the same "wireless networks" section.

Paid distribution of the Internet through the phone

Subscribers who used and continue to use the “Smart Unlimited” tariff plan were often interested in how much it costs to distribute MTS Internet and is it possible to do this at all? Initially this service was unavailable, but since December last year, MTS took into account the requirements of its subscribers and activated this function. The Internet that can be distributed is really unlimited, but there is a limit on free traffic per day, which is 50 megabytes. For all other traffic, you will need to pay 50 kopecks per day. Given the low monthly fee, the fee for using the service is more symbolic.

Distribution of the Internet at a distance

The emergence of mobile operators tariffs with unlimited internet made users happy. This is especially true for those who cannot have a network at home, and mobile communications are the only way out. Finally, here it is - the Internet accessible to all! However, in reality, everything turned out to be not so rosy, because the operators introduced large surcharges for distributing Wi-Fi or using the phone as a USB modem. However, there is still a way around the restriction: Yota has not closed this loophole yet, although they may do so in the near future.

How the operator identifies the device

Not only on this moment no operator has unlimited mobile Internet without restrictions, so tethering (using the phone as a USB modem or for distributing Wi-Fi to other devices) is possible only for an additional fee. How do operators find out about such actions? At first glance, it seems that this is some kind of complex technology, and "big brother is watching us", but in reality everything is as simple as shelling pears.

The main thing to remember for those who are looking for a way to get around the restrictions is the possible blocking of the SIM card. The operator reserves the right to block any SIM card that has "suspicious" activity, and there is no way to help here - you will have to go to the office for a new one.

Each device has a so-called TTL, which indicates the lifetime of a data packet in the IP protocol. It is through it that operators can track the distribution of the Internet via a USB modem or Wi-Fi. If the user has turned on the modem mode on the mobile device, the TTL changes immediately - it decreases by one, and the provider instantly responds by issuing a blocking window. That is, bypassing the restriction (Yota, MTS, Beeline or any other operator) is associated with changing this parameter, and nothing more.

First way

It is immediately necessary to clarify that the bypass of Yota restrictions described below applies on android devices, as well as on Lumia models. iOS owners can also try it, but will most likely have to use a different algorithm.

So, first you need to bring the TTL to a "non-suspicious" value, that is, literally make the laptop say to the cell station: "I am a smartphone." Since the TTL on mobile phones is usually 64, and decreases by one during distribution, it is enough to set the value to 65, and everything will be in order. On Lumia and other phones based on mobile Windows, the calculation is: 129 + 1 = 130.

Changing the TTL does not mean changing any hardware settings, it will not affect the loss of the device's warranty period in any way, and besides, it can return to its original value after a reboot.

Editing the registry

We go to the Start menu, after which you need to enter regedit.exe in the search bar and run the program with administrator rights. When it opens, you will need to go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters (to bypass Yota restrictions on Windows 7 and higher, you will also have to fix the registry at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip6\Parameters) .

In the area on the right, you need to right-click, then in the drop-down menu that opens, select "Create DWORD (32-bit)" and name the new parameter DefaultTTL. The next step is to change the value to 65 if the user has Android or iOS, and 130 if Lumia and others are on the same OS. The value should be set in the decimal system, and after completing the edits, be sure to restart the computer.

Capture methods

Until September 2015, bypassing the Yota restriction on WiFi distribution was just that, simple and unpretentious. However, mobile operators, as they say, are also not foolish. When users began to use the circumvention of restrictions, Yota and other operators did not respond with some complex actions in the form of changing algorithms. They began to analyze behavior on the network, because it is often very easy to understand that a person has accessed the Internet from a computer for a number of reasons.

If the TTL is changed, and the operator still blocks the Internet, then the mechanism described above is working, and the main advice here is that the user must filter his behavior on the network.

First, you should visit only those pages that can be opened through a smartphone. It follows from this that popular online games, such as World of Tanks and the like, betray the user with a head, because their IP addresses are publicly available and can be entered into the mobile operator's database. Secondly, to give out that a person is working not from a smartphone, but from a computer, maybe ... an operating system update server, so it's better to immediately disable Windows Update, but this may not be enough.

Forbidden addresses

The list of sites and services that cannot be accessed from the phone includes all the addresses of the popular Steam program, so for gamers, tethering and bypassing the Yota speed limit will be much more difficult. This list also includes addresses that the operating system and modems visit to update. This includes the addresses at which updates are computer programs(including antiviruses, graphic and video editors). The IP addresses of the servers of many online games for a personal computer are also considered "suspicious".

Fans of computer games have a difficult job VPN setup and proxy, but for other users there is a simpler solution.

We wean Windows

In addition to updates, there are still a lot of means by which your own operating system can issue a user to mobile operators. To do this, you need to correct the hosts file, which can be found through the explorer in the system folder (address: C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc). Next, open the file in notepad and enter the addresses of the sites through which the operator tracked down the user into the file. There is no universal list here, because you can only get it directly from the company itself, however, it is recommended to use the lists provided by users on the relevant forums in topics discussing circumventing Yota restrictions (w3bsit3-dns.com or rednager, for example), and hope that Elon Musk will soon give everyone world free Wi-Fi.

What you need to know about the hosts file

This file is responsible for regulating domain addresses on the Web. Simply put, editing it will block access to addresses where operators can track the user. The number of these addresses is increasing every day, but repetitions in hosts are highly undesirable, so you should edit it carefully. In any case, you can save a backup copy so that you can quickly and easily return everything to its original state.

Sometimes this problem occurs: the file is opened as an administrator, but the operating system still does not allow saving it. In this case, you can copy hosts to any other directory, edit the copy, and then replace the original with it. With this algorithm of actions, access problems should not arise.

Free operating systems

And good news for those who use Ubuntu or Linux. These are operating systems that are similar to Windows, but they are completely free. How will this help to bypass Yota restrictions? w3bsit3-dns.com and other forums contain many articles on installing these operating systems on top of the main Windows, and this is exactly what will allow you to use unlimited Internet without restrictions. For some reason, mobile operators do not block requests coming through "Ubuntu" or "Linux"!

As you know, there can be several operating systems on one computer, for installation it is enough just to allocate a separate local disk for the new OS, on which it will install its files. Free "Linux" and "Ubuntu" have the same functionality as the usual Windows, moreover: most of the basic office programs, with which you can print documents, create presentations, and the like, are supplied in the toolkit of the OS itself, they do not even have to be installed separately. The only thing that can cause problems is with computer games created specifically for Windows.

Change TTL to "Ubuntu"

To bypass the Yota WiFi restrictions for a computer on which the Ubuntu OS is installed, it is enough to take a few simple steps. To start, call the terminal with the key combination Ctrl + Alt + T. In the window that appears, enter the command sudo vi /etc/init.d/local.autostart and press "Enter". The system will ask the user for a password, after entering it, you need to press i, which will allow you to enter edit mode.

Since the Yota restriction on Wi-Fi distribution is bypassed by "cheating" the cellular station, at this stage you need to use the simple formula for calculating the TTL to bypass Yota restrictions again: TTL must be one more than on the device from which tethering is performed. If it is Android or iOS, then the indicator will be 64 + 1, if Lumia, then 128 + 1.

In edit mode, enter the script:

#!/bin/bash
sudo iptables -t mangle -A POSTROUTING -j TTL --ttl-set 65
(the last digit is the value that should be changed to the desired one).

The end of editing is initiated by pressing the Esc key, and you can save the file by pressing the Shift + Z keys.

The final step is to set the launch rights for the new script:

sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/local.autostart

Now you need to set the new command to autorun:

sudo update-rc.d local.autostart defaults 80

We press enter. Now you do not need to change the TTL on the computer every time, this will be done automatically by the operating system itself.

Another way

There is another, more radical bypass of Yota's restrictions on distributing Wi-Fi: changing the device's IMEI. Under this abbreviation is the name "International Mobile Equipment Identifier". Each device has its own unique IMEI, changing it will allow you to use a SIM card in the modem, which is intended only for use in a smartphone or tablet. The ID number must be changed on the dispensing device, but if this device is a smartphone? What number to give him? The answer is pretty simple.

Since cellular operators track many addresses associated with operating system requests, if you change the IMEI of a smartphone to a number from any Windows Phone, the provider will not have any suspicions, because mobile version Windows uses the same resources.

For a modem, it is better to take a number from a device that will definitely not be on the network, for example, from an old Nokia 3310 or from a broken phone of any brand.

There are several things that a user who decides to change IMEI should know. Firstly, if the "rented" ID number is registered on the same cellular network, it will not be possible to connect from two phones at the same time, but you can generate a new number using the Generator WinPhone program or similar. And secondly, after changing the number, the owner can say goodbye to the warranty on his mobile device, as well as to any statements to the police on the occasion of theft: it will not work to prove the right to own the device without a factory IMEI.

And third: changing the number to Apple will not work, this applies to any products of this company.

You can change the IMEI by entering the engineering mode on your smartphone or through the terminal emulator. The second option is suitable for many devices, including modems, laptops, and tablets.

Legal "restriction bypass"

Yota provides its users with really favorable rates, especially when you compare rates with other operators. In fact, most people do not need terabytes of traffic, and they can use a completely legal way to bypass the restrictions. The fact is that prices for tariffs for different regions can fluctuate, sometimes by more than 50%. As a rule, if the traffic is limited, then mobile operator it does not matter how and on what device these gigabytes will be spent, it is even beneficial for them that the user downloads videos via torrent and plays online games.

It is worth looking at offers for the same tariffs, but for other regions, and this is especially true for large cities: Moscow, St. Petersburg, Novosibirsk, Omsk and others. It is enough to go to another region or agree to buy a SIM card with friends, the main thing is to make sure that the Internet connection is available throughout Russia without roaming. In this case, bypassing the Yota Internet distribution restriction will not bother the user.

About the World Wide Web

Considering how tightly the Internet has taken root in our lives, it becomes clear why providers and mobile operators give out the coveted gigabytes of traffic in such a dosed manner, and users are constantly looking for bypassing the Internet distribution restrictions of Yota and other mobile operators. However, billionaire and inventor Elon Musk, the prototype of Tony Stark - iron man from the Avengers film series, plans to give the majority of the world's population the Internet at a speed of 1 Gb / s. To implement such a project, he plans to launch several thousand satellites into Earth orbit, which is several times more than is currently used by all countries together. Musk's idea is being implemented by his company SpaceX, and with a budget of ten billion dollars, they may succeed. In any case, he declared his intention to supply free internet the whole planet back in 2015, but on September 1, there was an explosion while refueling a rocket worth two hundred million, due to which the launch of satellites was delayed for some time.

Well, we can only hope that the plan will be crowned with success. Then users will not need to bypass restrictions, Yota-modem, Wi-Fi router and other devices that take money and time.

Today, many subscribers are wondering how to get around the “Unlimited” restriction from MTS for distributing the Internet. After all, before the new rules that came into force this year, it was possible to distribute traffic for free. Is it possible to do this now, and what methods are available for this?

Summary of the article:

Initially, the MTS operator introduced the new "Unlimited" tariff as a tariff with the possibility of distributing traffic for free. On the SIM card, when it was installed, the distribution of Wi-Fi to other devices was possible without any restrictions. In November 2016, the MTS company announced that from now on, for every 100 MB of distribution, the subscriber will have to pay 30 rubles.

The idea of ​​paying for the distribution of the Internet did not appeal to users. Increasingly, they begin to wonder about how not to pay for the distribution of the Internet. Various forums have already presented whole schemes of how to get around the restrictions and, of course, avoid unpleasant consequences from the communication provider.

Bypass options

Immediately make a reservation that all options are tested and work like clockwork. Choose yours and share the internet with these steps.

• IMEI replacement for the distributing device;
• Change/fix TTL;
• Making changes to the host file on your PC.

How to change IMEI

Replacing IMEI is one of the answers to the question of how to bypass the MTS "Smart Unlimited" lock in the modem. For a SIM card installed in a device used as a distributing device, it is necessary to change the IMEI to the code from a smartphone running on Windows OS. Traffic from Windows OS will not arouse suspicion, because mobile phone running on Windows functions just like a computer. In order not to have to pay more, let's deal with the intricacies of IMEI.

You can change the IMEI in two ways:

• Using the engineering mode;
• Using the console (terminal emulator).

The first option: run the command *#*#3646633#*#*. Engineer mode opens. Go to Connectivity and select CDS Information → Radio Information → Phone 1. Above the line AT + write EGMR=1.7”your_IMEI”. Press SEND AT and reboot the device.

Important! If nothing happened after the reboot, then try adding a space after AT +.

The second option: the terminal emulator works similarly to the Windows command line. It can be downloaded from PlayMarket (Terminal Emulator for Android). After installing the application on your phone, you must enter the code in the line:

echo-eAT+EGMR=1.7”your_IMEI”>/dev/smdo.

If the phone is designed for two SIMs, then for the second card you must enter echo-eAT+EGMR=1.7”your_IMEI”>/dev/pttysmd1.

Parsing by fixing / changing TTL

Let's deal with the abbreviation TTL. These three letters indicate the duration of the data in the IP protocol of the device. Operators use TTL to detect traffic usage by another device. If your smartphone starts to work as a modem of a distributed WiFi network for another device, then TTL will become one less. If there are two connected devices, then two units and so on. The provider responds to changes in TTL digits, so the “bypass” scheme must be turned so that this value does not change, then the restriction can be outwitted.

Interesting! Standard TTL values ​​are unchanged (iOS and Android - TTL=64, Windows - TTL=128).

TTL can be fixed in several ways. The first is to download any application: TTLFixer, TTLMaster, TTLEditor. It is important to obtain superuser rights (root rights). For Android OS, you can get superuser rights by downloading the Framaroot utility or Kingo Android Root. The latter allows you to work not only from your phone, but also from a personal computer / laptop.

To work through Framaroot, follow the instructions:

• On the site framaroot.ru, find and download latest version utilities
• Install it on your Android device (to do this, allow installation of applications from unknown sources in your phone's security options)
• Choose a rights management method - Superuser or SuperSU
• Click on any of the exploits. If one fails, try another of the exploits
• If all actions are performed correctly, a smiley will appear on the screen
• Reboot your phone for further work.

If your phone does not support Framaroot, don't worry. There is also the Kingo Android Root utility, to use which follow the algorithm:

• Change the settings in the “About phone” item. Click on the "Build number" line again until it says that you have become a developer. Then enter Settings → For Developers and check "USB Debugging"
• Connect your phone to a PC or laptop via the USB port
• Click on the ROOT button to start the process
• When Unlock Bootloader appears on the screen, use the volume control to select "Yes" and press the smartphone's power button to confirm
• When finished, the message Finish will appear.

Now the superuser rights have been obtained, and you can proceed to TTL latching as the most reliable option to distribute the Internet. We will also need to find out if there is support for TTL fixing in the phone's kernel. Using Explorer, find and activate the /proc/net/ip_tables_targets file, check if it contains a TTL string. In its absence, you will need to look for an alternative fixation method or part with MTS. But if suddenly such a line is present, we continue to act further.

We find and pull out boot.img. To do this, install the Android Termanal Emulator and type in the smartphone terminal su dd if=dev/block/platform/…/by-name/boot of=sdcard/boot.img. In place of the ellipsis, specify the path to the by-name folder. We transfer the boot.img file to a PC / laptop and point to the pre-installed AndImgTool. In the pop-up folder, run init.rc using Notepad++. Insert at the end of the text:

service freebie /system/bin/iptables -t mangle -A POSTROUTING -j TTL --ttl-set 64

Important! If suddenly you have Android OS installed below 4, then the class main line will need to be erased. The last line in the file must be one blank line.

Save the file and transfer the folder to AndImgTool. The result is an img file that needs to be flashed.

At the MTS “Unlimited” tariff, bypassing the restriction is a feasible task if you perform the fixing procedure for TTL. After that, you will no longer have to waste time on such an activity, since from that moment TTL will go to the provider with a value of 64.

If you suddenly failed to fix the value in the above way, you can use the algorithm for changing the TTL, presented below. This method will also allow you to bypass the restrictions on traffic distribution:

• Activate flight mode for smartphone;
• With Explorer support, go to proc/sys/net/ipv4 and select ip_default_ttl;
• Change the numbers 63 here to the number 64;
• Don't forget to save your changes;
• Disabling flight mode;
• Feel free to distribute traffic to other devices.

To connect a personal computer and gain access to the network, you need:

• Click Start → Run command → type regedit;
• You will see a new window and find there HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters;
• We click with the mouse in the window on the right "Create DWORD (32 bits)", "name DefaultTTL";
• Edit → Decimal → 64;
• Save and hit restart. Continue after reboot.

Working with the host file

In order to finally figure out how to bypass the “Smart Unlimited” restriction from MTS on Internet distribution, you can use the host file, which is a collection of characters and IP addresses of all the sites you visit, including those through which the operator can disable distribution the Internet. It is a pity that it is impossible to develop a universal instruction that allows you to bypass the "Smart Unlimited" lock in the modem. But you can constantly edit the host and work out a more or less successful option that is suitable for you.

Finding the host is easy: press the Windows + R key combination on your computer. In the window that appears, in the "Open" field, type %systemroot%/system32/drivers/etc and click OK. In the opened folder you will see the file host. More detailed instructions on tracking sites can be found on the net or on special forums in discussions about circumventing MTS restrictions.

We hope that as a result of following the instructions, you managed to bypass the restrictions on MTS "Smart Unlimited". We wish you high-speed flights across the Internet without any restrictions!
