Hey just wanted to ask for some recommendations on tethering my phone to my laptop. Would be nice to have options to hide tether usage if possible. Thanks

If you mean you don't want your carrier to limit your tethering when you hit a limit, then there is this free and open source app called "TetherFi" that I use religiously. It's on the playstore. This is for android. Not sure about iPhone.

This worked great, thank you.

It did take me a while to figure out that wifi and location have to be enabled in order for it to work (don't know why exactly).

No problem. Pass it on, and tip the developer whenever you can.

will do!
