Tethering can be a very easy and useful way to get online via a laptop, tablet or other SIM-free device if you don’t have access to Wi-Fi. Tethering works by forming a local connection between one Wi-Fi enabled device to another – an iPhone and MacBook, for instance – and using one ordinary mobile data connection to connect the additional device to the internet. Find out about the basics of how a VPN works and how your Internet Service Provider, or ISP, can put an end to your tethering without one. To help you tether freely, this article looks at how tethering limitations work and how you can get around these restrictions by using a VPN. However, tethering isn’t always an option, as there can be limitations and restrictions put in place to prevent you from sharing your data allowance over more than one device. Whether you’re looking to stream movies on a train journey or working remotely and need to connect your laptop to the internet, tethering is an easy way to get additional devices online when you have no access to Wi-Fi – but do have access to mobile data.
