How DPI Traffic Accounting Works
To provide unlimited data for specific services, operators analyze incoming and outgoing packet headers (SNI). A secure tunnel turns all outgoing traffic into an impenetrable stream directed to a single endpoint: the cellular company's billing system cannot identify the specific resource and therefore consumes your standard gigabyte package.
How to Preserve Your Operator's Unlimited Data Packages
- Configure split tunneling, leaving unlimited services on a direct cellular connection.
- Disable tunneling when watching long videos or streaming music for extended periods.
- Check your remaining gigabyte package in your carrier's app when running a tunnel continuously.
- Use an encrypted channel exclusively for secure work with confidential information.
