How to bypass restrictions on Internet distribution: Beeline, Tele2, on your phone and computer

The design of modern mobile phones requires the presence of a hardware module that allows you to share Internet traffic and distribute it to other devices, for example, to another smartphone, laptop or personal computer. However, only a few users know about this interesting option. In the language of the most advanced, this action is called “distributing the Internet.” But, despite the theoretical possibility of such an action, in practice it is not always carried out. And there are many reasons for this.

Why do operators limit the distribution of mobile Internet?

Mobile operators control Internet distribution using TTL technology. They do not allow devices connected to Wi-Fi into the network. This is done to get more money for mobile tethering. This is the moment when the Internet equipment is distributed, the server detects a change in the TTL packet time and limits the speed.

It is worth pointing out that the standard operating time of the Internet package for mobile devices on the Android operating system is 64 hops. When the TTL network element connects, the total number of hops is reduced to 63. That is, at the moment of accessing the network from a mobile device on which the Internet was connected, everything remains as it is. But as soon as Wi-Fi turns on, the hop rate decreases by 1. The operator sees this and reduces signal transmission.

Note ! If we talk about a computer, the normal figure for it is 128 jumps. At the time of Wi-Fi distribution, the indicator decreases by one. An operator for commercial purposes can also prohibit and require payment for the distribution of Internet on a Megafon tablet or MTS laptop.

Tariff "My online"

How to connect and configure a Tele2 3G modem: parameters and entering the interface

“My Online” is a tariff plan with a fixed subscription fee, unlimited Internet access in the Russian Federation (except for some regions like the Republic of Crimea) and an included dialing of 500 minutes to mobile numbers in the home region and 50 SMS. The cost of connection varies and largely depends on the geographical location of the subscriber: in the capital you will have to pay up to 400 rubles* per month, and in remote areas - up to 600 or more.

The Tele2 operator allows unlimited resources, including calls and messages, to be renewed using the commands *155*24*1 and *155*24*2#. Without replenishment, the cost of calls will be 1.95 rubles per minute of conversation, and 1.95 for each SMS sent.

The operator allows you to connect “My Online” in your personal account, at the nearest sales office or using the digital USSD command *630*15#. The submitted request is considered automatically and, if there is a sufficient amount of funds in the account, it is activated.

What you need to know to bypass restrictions

Trying to outwit the mobile operator, test all the methods and end up not receiving an SMS with the text “your tariff limits the use of the phone as a modem”, it is possible, there is a workaround, but for this you need to know the exact methods of how to achieve the desired result - bypass the restrictions on distribution Internet. Below are effective ways to deceive the operator in your favor.

Changing IMEI on the distribution device

How to change IMEI on a 3G/4G modem to identify it as a smartphone

If you need to use a SIM card in a modem or distribute a signal from a Wi-Fi router, you need to replace the IMEI on the distribution device. You should distribute the IMEI from a smart phone that runs Windows. You can use any other IMEI, but then there is a risk that the operator will find out everything and block this function. Traffic to Windows is of no interest to anyone, since all devices run on this operating system.

It is important to understand that you need to ensure that the IMEI is not registered on the same network. That is, if two devices with the same IMEI connect to the Internet, nothing will work.

Change/fix TTL value

You can change IMEI using engineering mode or a console called a terminal emulator. In the first case, you need to dial the command on your phone *#*#3646633#*#*, go to Connectivity, select CDS Information > Radio Information > Phone 1. Next, add AT+ EGMR = 1.7, “your_IMEI”. Click on save and reboot your phone.

In the second case, you need to use a terminal emulator. It works the same way as the Windows command line. The utility is available on Google Play. The application is called Terminal Emulator for Android.

Practical ways to adjust TTL

There are two practical ways to adjust “TTL”. For the first method, you need to complete the following steps:

Enable “Airplane mode” on your smartphone;
Install and launch the ES Explorer application;
Open the folders in the following order – proc/sys/net/ipv4;
Find the file named ip_default_ttl;
Open it and change the value to 63;
Save the changes, return to normal mode and use the network without restrictions.

Note ! Using the second method, you can recognize and unblock extended Internet access from your computer. This information is given in the appropriate section below.

Adjusting TTL using apps

To adjust TTL using Terminal Emulator for Android, you need to enter the code

echo -e 'AT +EGMR=1.7,"YOUR_IMEI"'> /dev/smd0. If you have two SIM cards on your phone, you need to change the last phrase after the flash to pttycmd1.

You can also adjust it using the TTL Master or Yota Tether TTL program. For it to work, you need user rights (for advanced features).

Note ! You can download it through the regular application store on your phone. To do something as simple as changing TTL, you can use the free version of the application. All you need to do is enter the current indicator and indicate the one you need in the appropriate field. The program will automatically perform the action. Another program, TTL Editor, works similarly.

Instructions for fixing TTL on Android

To fix TTL on Android, you need to purchase license rights, fix support, PC, AndImgTool utility and Notepad++ editor. Do the following:

Install a terminal emulator from Google Play;
Type in the terminal su dd if=dev/block/platform/…/by-name/boot of=sdcard/boot.img;
Instead of the ellipsis, substitute the path to the next folder;
Point boot.img to AndImgTool;
Open the init.rc folder using Notepad++;
Paste the code class main.

Note ! Next, save all the settings and flash the file. Be sure to drag it into the AndImgTool folder.

How to change TTL on a computer

To change the TTL on your computer, you need to determine whether it needs to be fixed. To do this, you need to perform small manipulations. On your PC, go to Start and write regedit in the search bar. Next, open the folders in the following order: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters. Click “Create File” and name it DefaultTTL. Next, change the number of bits of the file by putting the number 64 in the field. Save the settings and restart the PC.

How to find out the current TTL on Windows

To find out the current TTL on Windows, you need to press the Win + R command and enter “cmd”. In the window that appears, type the command “ping 127.0.0.1”. Next, see the data. If it costs 65, this is the required indicator.

Editing the host file on your computer

The host file is a text file that maps friendly name domains to unfriendly ones. Editing it is necessary both to protect your computer from malicious systems and to speed up browsing of Internet pages. It is located at C:\Windows\system32\Drivers\Etc. Before you can edit it, you need to open it correctly. To do this, open it in the Notepad service and save it in the drivers under the specified name.

Note ! To edit, you must first specify “IP”, then the domain separated by a space. For example, 124.1.2.3 www.google.com. The entered data must be saved under the name hosts.backupfile.

from Beeline

The process of sharing the Internet between devices is called tethering. Sharing traffic from your smartphone is convenient when you need to access the network from a tablet or computer. In this case, by connecting one tariff and service, you can get unlimited access to all your devices. You can also share the Internet on Beeline with other subscribers. To do this, a package with unlimited Internet must be connected to the distribution device. It doesn’t matter what tariff the hosts have. Next, you need to configure the gadget as a modem and order it.

Distributing Internet traffic from an Android smartphone to several devices:

We go to the item with wireless networks through “Settings”.
Here we select the “More” section.
A new menu will open where you need to enable “Access Point”.

Now all that remains is to order traffic distribution from the provider. Make sure you have unlimited internet connected. The service can be ordered for 1 hour or 24 hours.

Options

Price	Validity	Traffic volume	USSD command for connection	USSD command to disable
“Internet distribution for 1 hour” (active until July 16, 2019, then it will be closed)	50 ₽	1 hour after activation	is not limited	1571#	Turns off automatically according to time
“Free Internet distribution for 1 hour”*	0 ₽	1 hour after activation	is not limited	15711# or call 06740998765	Turns off automatically according to time
“Internet distribution 5 GB per month” (active from July 16, 2019)**	99 ₽	30 days after activation	5 GB.	1571#	1570#
“Internet distribution for 24 hours”	150 ₽	24 hours after activation	is not limited	15724#	Turns off automatically according to time

What is the price

You can order the Internet sharing function for a day, in this case the cost of distribution will be 150 rubles. You can buy an option for 60 minutes for 50 rubles if the subscriber is on a prepaid payment system.

Postpaid customers can distribute Beeline Internet from phone to phone or other gadget for free. The main condition is that the distributing and receiving device must have a Beeline SIM card.

What tariffs are available?

The subscriber can share his gigabytes with other devices if he has one of the unlimited Internet packages connected. This is a line of “Everything” tariff plans and archived tariffs that are still valid, but can no longer be purchased. You can check with your operator whether your tariff is suitable for the service. To contact a consultant, dial 0611.

How to connect

To use your device as an Internet source, you just need to send a digital combination to the Beeline number. Command to connect:

Internet distribution for 24 hours: dial *157*1#;
Internet distribution for 1 hour: combination *157*24#.

After the purchased time has expired, the function is automatically disabled. The number of connected devices depends on the factory settings of the phone manufacturer. You can order “Distribution” as many times as you like.

Other conditions

* - “Free Internet distribution for 1 hour” is available to participants of the “Gigs for Sleep”, “Gigs for Detox” and “Gigs for Brains” promotions once every knock, of course, if the conditions of the promotions are met.
** - The option “Internet distribution 5 GB per month”, which Beeline introduces instead of “Internet distribution for 1 hour”, does not turn off automatically after the paid period or month, like the others. If you do not disable it, then in the next reporting period 99 ₽ will be debited from your account again, keep this in mind.

I can’t help but from Beeline for subscribers: “Internet distribution for 1 hour” closes on July 16, 2021, and opens instead, but the command to activate the option does not change. The request *157*1# will remain the same. Not all subscribers regularly read the news and many will be unpleasantly surprised when, instead of the usual 50 rubles, 99 rubles are debited from their account.

The number of connections for the option is not limited in any way.
When the option is activated, the operator does not limit the number of devices to which the Internet can be distributed.
does not work in Crimea, Sevastopol and international roaming.

Distribution methods

The algorithm for enabling modem mode is the same for all phones. The exact names of menu items may vary depending on the version and type of operating system. To share the Internet with other users, you need to follow the instructions:

Go to device settings.
In the “Wireless Networks” section, select “Advanced” or “More”.
Select modem mode in the subsection.
Select the “Access Point” function.
Set up the network. You will need to set a name, select an encryption type and set a password (if “No protection” is selected, then you do not need to set a key; the phone will allow all devices to connect).
Enable Internet distribution.

Distribution to laptop and computer

To connect to a distributed network from a personal computer running Windows operating systems, you need to:

activate the Wi-Fi wireless module in the PC settings;
select the distributed one from the list of found networks;
enter the specified password;
connect.

The password will only need to be entered once. When you reconnect, if the settings of the distributed network have not been changed, the connection will be configured automatically.

Distribution to phones and tablets

It's easy to connect to the hotspot from another smartphone running Android or iOS. Enough:

go to the device settings;
in the “Wireless Networks” section, go to the Wi-Fi management menu;
find the required identifier in the list;
enter password;
connect.

On MAC OS

To connect to the distributed network from a PC running MAC OS you need:

in the status bar in the upper right corner, find the Wi-Fi icon and click on it;
select the desired network from the list;
enter key;
connect.

How to disable the service

When the paid time expires, access will turn off automatically; no action is required from the subscriber.

To use this option, change the settings of your smartphone - turn on modem mode. You can use it at any time of the day. Every day for an hour you can distribute the Internet for free.

Disabling the service via telephone - procedure

On Beeline how to disable Internet distribution ? After it expires, the option stops working automatically.

To disable a function, just follow the order:

Wait until the purchased period of use comes to an end.
Deactivate the Wi-Fi hotspot option.
Block the connection of other users. It is recommended to come up with a strong password combination.

Each client independently decides which method to choose for him.

Algorithm for disabling Beeline service via computer

The algorithm of actions from the computer is simple:

Wait until the paid distribution time ends.
Go to settings, disable Wi-Fi distribution
Set a password or set restrictions for your home network to prevent other users from connecting and wasting traffic in the future.

Beeline has provided the most comfortable conditions for using the service, so the client is not required to perform many actions.

Bypass torrent restrictions

Setting up Wifi internet distribution from phone to laptop

To bypass torrent restrictions, you need to use The Onion Router, an anonymizer (proxywebsite.org, anon-ip.org, boomproxy.com), proxy or virtual private network.

Important ! Bypassing the block is illegal only by downloading movies to torrent. When downloading a file that is not protected by copyright, the fact of downloading is not considered a violation of the law.

Removing restrictions from the modem through the VPN settings

How to make an access point for Internet distribution from a Xiaomi phone

To remove restrictions from the modem through the VPN settings, you will need to install a special openvpn program to work with user services. To connect, you need to find a configuration file with all the necessary information. Launch the program to establish a connection. Exchange information encrypted.

Bypass on iPhone

To do a bypass on an iPhone, you need to use the same scheme as for a regular smartphone, but in a slightly different order. First, remove Wi-Fi. Then download the AndImgTool application. See the error window and click OK. Next, turn on the Internet and use the settings menu. Enable aviation mode, reboot the apple and disable the selected mode. Wait for the application to finish downloading and use it to remove the restriction.

Changing the encryption in the program

Try enabling encryption in your torrent client. It will allow the user to enter incognito mode and hide their traffic from the operator. Let's look at how to do this using the popular µTorrent program as an example.

To activate the encryption protocol, follow these steps:

Open µTorrent.
In the menu, select the “Settings” section.
Click on “BitTorrent” (in older versions there is no such item, in this case install another torrent client).
This section contains the “Protocol Encryption” option. By default it is always disabled. Click on the arrow and in the drop-down menu click “Enabled”.
Here, turn off udp support - the function uses traffic for technical purposes and overloads the channel. The operator can notice this and track the download by IP address. To disable, uncheck the “Enable UDP tracker support” checkbox.
Click the "Apply" button, then "OK".

Data encryption is not available in all downloadable programs. If you do not find such a function in your torrent client, find another version or application from another developer. Download it and install it. Using the same principle as in the µTorrent example, change the settings.

Here are the settings of another frequently used program - qBittorrent:

Go to the “BitTorrent” section.
Set the mode to “Require encryption”.
Check the “Enable Anonymous Mode” checkbox.
We uncheck the first three parameters - DHT, PeX and local peer detection.

Go to the “Connection” section.
The number of connections must be limited. We set the limit to 50, this is enough for quick downloading, but will not overload the channel.
It is worth disabling the uTP protocol, change it to TCP.
Disable the router's UPnP and use a random port.

Save the changes. During setup, you need to disable all file transfers. If the limit is set dynamically on the network, you will need to reboot the router. Now you can try downloading from a torrent.
