    The discussion begins with the assumption that free Wi-Fi is everywhere, yet it becomes elusive when needed most, especially in remote areas. It introduces tethering as a solution, allowing smartphones and cellular-enabled tablets to share their data connection with other devices like laptops. Tethering can be done via USB or wirelessly, turning phones into personal hotspots. The process to enable tethering varies between iOS and Android, requiring users to navigate settings to enable personal hotspots or tethering options, while considering security measures like WPA2 encryption to protect data usage from unauthorized access. Users are made aware of performance limitations due to cellular network speeds and potential data caps imposed by mobile providers, which can differ from home internet services. It emphasizes checking mobile plans for tethering allowances and mentions alternative methods some users employ to bypass carrier restrictions. The advice concludes with a recommendation to use a portable battery bank during extensive tethering due to high power consumption and introduces TunnelBear VPN as a means to enhance online privacy through secured connections.

  • 00:00:00
    as prolific as free wi-fi has gotten it
  • 00:00:03
    seems like
  • 00:00:04
    somehow when you most need it it's not
  • 00:00:07
    available or maybe the problem is that
  • 00:00:10
    you just often find yourself needing to
  • 00:00:12
    use your laptop out in the middle of
  • 00:00:14
    nowhere
  • 00:00:15
    fortunately most smartphones and
  • 00:00:18
    cellular-enabled tablets these days
  • 00:00:20
    support tethering and no
  • 00:00:23
    i'm not talking about that dorky holster
  • 00:00:26
    that came with your phone case
  • 00:00:27
    tethering is the act of routing your
  • 00:00:30
    phone or tablet's cellular data
  • 00:00:32
    connection to another device such as a
  • 00:00:35
    laptop tethering can be accomplished via
  • 00:00:38
    a usb cable or even wirelessly which
  • 00:00:41
    effectively turns your phone into a
  • 00:00:44
    personal wi-fi hotspot
  • 00:00:46
    so then how do you make this happen well
  • 00:00:49
    assuming you've got a strong cellular
  • 00:00:51
    signal you can enable tethering on ios
  • 00:00:54
    simply by going into the settings app
  • 00:00:56
    and enabling the personal hotspot option
  • 00:00:59
    on android you'll go to the wireless and
  • 00:01:02
    network settings tap more and find
  • 00:01:04
    tethering and portable hotspot
  • 00:01:07
    if you're tethering with usb you might
  • 00:01:09
    need to connect your cable before some
  • 00:01:12
    of the relevant options will become
  • 00:01:14
    available but if you're using wi-fi a
  • 00:01:16
    bit of additional setup is still
  • 00:01:18
    required just like a home router you'll
  • 00:01:21
    need to enter a name or ssid for your
  • 00:01:23
    hotspot so your computer will know what
  • 00:01:26
    the heck to connect to and optionally a
  • 00:01:29
    password though i would definitely
  • 00:01:31
    recommend doing this and securing your
  • 00:01:34
    connection preferably with wpa2 security
  • 00:01:38
    if you don't anyone in range can use
  • 00:01:41
    your hotspot so they could run up your
  • 00:01:43
    data bill or even potentially see what
  • 00:01:46
    it is that you're doing
  • 00:01:48
    you can also tether via bluetooth but
  • 00:01:50
    due to its low maximum speed i'd
  • 00:01:53
    recommend against it unless you have no
  • 00:01:55
    other choice for some reason
  • 00:01:58
    once you've followed these steps and
  • 00:01:59
    connected to your hotspot on your second
  • 00:02:01
    device via the usual process you're
  • 00:02:04
    pretty much good to go
  • 00:02:05
    but tethering does come with a few
  • 00:02:08
    caveats the most obvious being that
  • 00:02:10
    you're going to be limited by how fast
  • 00:02:13
    your cellular network is and although
  • 00:02:16
    lte connections that can get to 100
  • 00:02:18
    megabits per second or more are becoming
  • 00:02:21
    commonplace these days your real speed
  • 00:02:24
    might top out far below what you're used
  • 00:02:27
    to at home if you aren't getting an
  • 00:02:29
    optimal signal
  • 00:02:30
    you also might be fighting data limits
  • 00:02:33
    imposed by your mobile provider
  • 00:02:35
    even carriers that promise unlimited
  • 00:02:38
    everything
  • 00:02:40
    sometimes have a separate cap for
  • 00:02:42
    tethering and or they severely throttle
  • 00:02:45
    your speed once you use a certain amount
  • 00:02:47
    of data often much lower than what your
  • 00:02:50
    home isp allows
  • 00:02:52
    and this assumes that your cellular plan
  • 00:02:55
    even allows tethering at all
  • 00:02:58
    if you bought your phone directly from a
  • 00:02:59
    carrier they may have hidden away the
  • 00:03:02
    tethering options or even gone as far as
  • 00:03:05
    to disable them outright unless you pay
  • 00:03:08
    a monthly fee so be sure to check the
  • 00:03:11
    fine print whenever you sign up for a
  • 00:03:13
    mobile plan although some resourceful
  • 00:03:16
    users have found ways around carrier
  • 00:03:18
    restrictions by jailbreaking or rooting
  • 00:03:21
    their phones which you can learn more
  • 00:03:22
    about up here or even installing special
  • 00:03:26
    apps that hide exactly how much data is
  • 00:03:28
    being consumed from tethering from their
  • 00:03:31
    providers
  • 00:03:32
    this particular practice caught the ire
  • 00:03:34
    of t-mobile back in 2015 when some users
  • 00:03:37
    were found to be consuming as much as
  • 00:03:40
    two terabytes of data per month
  • 00:03:43
    but even if you do have a cell plan that
  • 00:03:46
    doesn't place onerous restrictions on
  • 00:03:48
    tethering you may want to pick up a
  • 00:03:50
    portable battery bank if you're planning
  • 00:03:52
    to tether for any lengthy period of time
  • 00:03:55
    as pushing all that data through your
  • 00:03:57
    phone can drain it quickly especially if
  • 00:04:00
    you're doing it over wifi which requires
  • 00:04:03
    even more power to blast a wireless
  • 00:04:05
    signal to your other devices which is
  • 00:04:08
    really inconvenient if you're stuck
  • 00:04:10
    somewhere like fire festival and your
  • 00:04:12
    iphone is your only conduit to the
  • 00:04:15
    outside world
  • 00:04:18
    speaking of conduits to the outside
  • 00:04:20
    world tunnelbear vpn lets you tunnel
  • 00:04:23
    through up to 20 different countries
  • 00:04:26

  • 00:04:27
    use online services as though you are
  • 00:04:30
    some anonymous bloke or blow kit in some
  • 00:04:33
    other freaking country they have easy to
  • 00:04:35
    use apps for ios android pc and mac also
  • 00:04:39
    a chrome extension and all you got to do
  • 00:04:41
    is just choose a country in the app

    address gets switched so you show up as
