in case you never heard of it, webe tries to make some extra money by charging you if you want to use wifi tethering when on their network. they'll just forward you to some webpage if you have not activated (and paid for) tethering but tried it anyway:



there are several known methods telcos use to detect tethering, e.g.:
How can phone companies detect tethering

i'm thinking of identifying webe's method and publish a countermeasure here, but currently very busy with real work. any sifu here have looked at it?

@rizvanrp

You want to unlock the tethering? The way the block tethering is same as how American Telcos block tethering. You may go and have a look how Verzion block tethering.

u can bypass keep for yourself la.
webe not even open to public.

webe official launch tomorrow,.. RM79 unlimited data quota

Really? Feel so excited.

This post has been edited by mztang52: Aug 15 2016, 05:15 PM

Unlimited also no use mah if cannot use tethering

If u know how, it can be done

Yeah Malaysian wireless fb pages announce it just now.. will see tomorrow whether any last minute changes

TQ for our valuable information.

i'm sure T&C + FUP may apply

You probably wouldn't hit the limit if you didn't abuse it.

For only 1 device, I highly doubt you can reach the limit
Hence the reason why they only allow the use on 1 device

Pandai Webe ni

Anyone knows if Webe also blocks the usage on MiFi?

webe now live launching at FB

WeBe is now live on fb.

https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid...464245243782959

how much can you use without tether... with phone only mobile data...

50GB?? If you're super hardcore

Connect phone to a mobile router. Surely can bypass.

Yeah. You got it. But they can detect your activity even though you bypassed it.

Sure? Because a mobile router will detect as 1 device by the Telco.

The telco can detect what is the device connected to their basestation. But anyhow, they still cant block you. Can send out warning letter only.

If coverage is good in my house, I can cancel my streamyx, maxis postpaid+BB, and replace with Webe+Hotlink n save money.

They can detect based on MAC / IMEI of your mobile router (If there's dedicated range for these devices)
TTL as explained
Browser Agent as explained

So, yes... there's way to detect your traffic pattern...

im interested in this WEBE and would like to share it in the house... wonder if someone already know the solution to this tethering...?

You can use VPN if you want to tether it in your phone.

do u think yes4g is better? i heard there is trick to make it unlimited..

im stuck with streamyx 1mbps for long due to the reason they said my housing do not support 4mbps and above and no unifi...

say launch but website not allowed other than invited to subscribe?

Yeah. Another lie by webe.

What if we use it with MiFi or wireless router with built-in sim card slot such as ASUS 4G-N12 & TP-Link TL-MR6400 can they block this method?

No.

Have you tested WeBe using this method?
Any source that you can share on how you know Webe can't block MiFi / Wireless Routers with built-in SIM card?

Other people just wrote that they can use it on MiFi. Check it out in other threads.

No offense but don't tell people that it works without solid proof
Just because other people is saying it, doesn't mean it's true

For now, let's just wait for someone to test it in the real world

i have done it but i won't share how cos later they found out~ but i heard someone friends got charge RM500+ and got banned due to this and i'm trying to contact him whether he use the same method as mine or not cos till now i didn't receive any warning message or line banned.

if postpaid better don't play with this

the bill can shock someone

even not reflect in immediate month bill, they can add into coming bills

they sure have contract terms that won't let the co. make big loss, then defaulter would end up in ctos database again

one may disregard p1, but now is TM, no play play

it's ok, if they can detect multiple mac address i can tell them my line is stolen and i need to terminate it cos if really tethering is happening, they should send me a SMS that i must pay for it before use it. somemore there is a RM500 credit limit and they can't charge more than that if really bill shock.

Unlikely that they can detect unless they go by device type. Tethering is detected by user agent. Multiple mac addresses are not detected by webe because the mifi has NAT.

they likely has DPI (deep packet inspection) filtering somewhere, the same technology used by TM to detect torrenting etc.

the best counter against that would be encryption, but that would require an external server. probably we install proxy in the main device (tethered devices will go through this proxy) with some tweaks to fool the filter to think that the traffic is genuinely coming from the main device alone.

even turtle stimix is better than this overhype webe, at least u get what u pay for.

I have just received an invitation from takeout@email.tm.com.my via bounce.webemember.com to subscribe for webe rm79 package.

I am thinking to try webe but don't know whether can I just put the sim card in an usb dongle then plug to router and get away with it

Someone said this is detectable.

Which USB Dongle or mobile LTE router brands supports 850Mhz band, Please Pm me as you all know anyone can read this.

I am still reading their tnc and fup. Their mobile plan is RM79 if users actively using certified device. Other wise RM60 discount will no be counted that month. So is it still worth paying 139 for unlimited data and you don't make calls from router or modem do you ?

2. Can I use my phone as a hotspot?
Yes. You can purchase the Personal Wi-Fi Pass at RM6.36 for two (2) hours (inclusive of GST). This pass is activated immediately upon purchase and valid for two (2) hours.


3. How many devices can I connect using the Personal Wi-Fi Pass?
You can share your Wi-Fi to a maximum of five (5) devices.

Fair Usage Policy

1. Can I use my service to download peer-to-peer content (e.g. torrent files)?
Yes. You can use webe services for peer-to-peer downloads at 64kbps speed.


2. Am I allowed to use the unlimited voice minutes to make calls for commercial purpose? (E.g. by contact centres)?
No. You are only allowed to make calls for personal purposes within the set fair usage policy.


3. Can I perform bulk SMS or SMS blasting using webe?
No. You are only allowed to send text messages for personal purposes within the set fair usage policy.

device same as tmgo.
if u dont make call/sms better go with tmgo unlimited rm99*
24 mth contract, free modem, good luck finding tmpoint with tmgo postpaid plan.

Also need to know how they detect the phone.. The phone discount is checking for every month. if used in other non certified phone more than 7 days 60 discount is not applicable for that month.

If I download my file from google drive, which is more than 1GB, do you guys think webe will block my connection?

Yes, they will.

UPDATE (3/9/2016): No, they won't. From now on,their unlimited data is not truely unlimited but actually is 20Gb of data only.

This post has been edited by mztang52: Sep 3 2016, 10:52 AM

Another Cons for Webe?

What? I thought it's unlimited so why block dwld file from google drive?

Temporaly block only. If they found out that it is downloading from Google drive then they will unblock i back. Because their system has some kind of anti DDOS attact system and they will also check are you using it to share your personal hotspot without buying pass. But if it is a 1Tb file, hehe then it should be permenant and you will need to pay for the penalty then only you can unblock it back.

Wow, you're so informative! Are you working with webe?

No. I studied all this, how ISPs and Telcos manage their business and their system.

if you use your webe sim on "non approved devices" for more than 7 days a calendar month, your "certified devices" discount for that month will be revoked.

can webe works with vpn?

Yes.

When you will received the certified/not certified sms? when 1st time power on? Anyone using here?

Why?

An emergency update!!

https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=81547611

umobile P98 plan more worthy than this webe

30gb
unlimited video streaming from youtube etc, won't eat up ori 30gb volume
unlimited voice calls to all network
sms? how many still use it on regular basis?

Yes it is more worth but heard that too many new signups recently and clog up its network.

Hi guys, any way to by pass the personal hotspot?

Use hotspot and share to watch video, it will use unlimited video streaming or our 30gb data?

Actually there is no unlimited data. The word "Unlimited" refer to that you are still able to browse internet but with control speed after exceed the high speed quota.

Anyway, bare in mind , there is still GST on the RM79.

You are referring to Webe or Umobile P98, cos the post b4 you refers to Umobile n RM79 refers to Webe?

i have used webe here in kelantan..and the ping is 33ms (LTE) while using speedtest app on my iphone5..the download speed that i reach is 29.9Mbps..I dont test the sim yet with the zte mf70..

please let us know your webe experience with zte mf70 later...

I am still trying to figure out how to bypass the tethering block of webe.
If can't share the hotspot, then it is no use to my family. Really hate webe doing this.

Blood sucker

It is geniune, but what's the use if only limited to 1 device, and can't even enable tethering as hotspot ?
No other telco even do this!
In this case, this is like RM79 for unlimited (some says it is actually limited to 20GB).

So, RM79 for 20GB, and not allow hotspot.

WTH, I am going to cancel webe right away !

It is truly unlimited now. Many users already used more than 100Gb.

Idk if you already know this method but for noob in here.. It may can save u from paying rm6.32 (2hours usage)

Method 1 (no root)
What you need:
1. android phone
2. A knowladge to setup proxy

A. 1st device
1. Download Proxy Server from google play
2. Setup your proxy server. If you dont know what are u doing, just create a new server and insert "8080" on port box.
3. Start the proxy server
4. Start tethering

2nd device
1. Connect your 2nd device.
2. Put ip "192.168.43.1" and port "8080" on proxy settings.
3. Now test your connection. If you still not have connectivity, sometimes you need to enter manually the dns. Just use google dns. "8.8.8.8" and "8.8.4.4". Sometimes restarting phone will help..


Note:
This method is suck and useless for those:
1. Playing real time online games like dota.. Fyi steam doesnt support proxy.
2. Downloading files that not support resume. As this connection is not stable, it will be a nightmare for those using almost every free sharing files site.

Method 2 (rooted phone)
*this method is more stable and can allow you to play real time online games. And ofcoz downloading with 30Mbps speed on your 5TB hdd desktop. As this is the best method right now, i wont share it on public.
Hint: encryption, fastest vpn server, reroute

Until now, this method is still working for me. I never get banned or get any warning on it.. Use at you own risk.

thank you for sharing.
eat shiiiit webe!!!!!

using modem can do or not? Don't feel like buying another phone and root it.

duck duck go found this
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4101967/all

if u have TMgo usb modem/mifi, then definitely can use

Some sifus here can start selling tricks or hardware for newbies like us.

Gone case. Webe sure will fix this soon.

But can Webe detect that u are not using mobile but usb modem/mifi, and terminate your line?

This post has been edited by MGM: Nov 8 2016, 08:44 AM

seen a fb post saying that webe can be used if USB tether from phone without additional charge.

is it true?

thank you

Wow~~ This is quite secret forum..

Can secretly share to me the way to prevent Webe detect?
Another thing is, since some of the telco service provider the speed throtted down once reach the quota.

Any idea can boost up the speed again without purchase add-on quota?

If it was selective throttle, you could use VPN to bypass that. If it is throughout output throttled, nothing could be helped.

Somebody can comfirm this? Can use usb thetering to pc?

from what i read, actually a few methods have been tested and found to work. just read this thread and another thread linked somewhere here, you may get some idea. and yes, some friends reported success in using usb (instead of wifi) tethering.

but i lost interest in webe due to a few factors:

1. horrible signal / service quality at my place (which could actually be due to celcom due to webe having agreement with celcom for 2G-3G).

2. the fact that they can always "detect" your workaround later and ban your line, or worse (in true P1 style, maybe you will get a bill of RM9999 and a threat to CTOS you if you do not pay). please read the fine print.

3. it's also a TM company now. TM already f**ks us upside down with streamyx & unifi. i don't have any extra hole to let them f**k me again.

Very well said. Webe doesn't have 3g, so if your location has no 4g then you are at its worst having to depend on Celcom.

Yeah. You need to apply some trick.

Haha.

You are all need to be selfish lah on this..

No need.

As Eu and Us already use this block thetering along ago.

Connecting USB-modem with Webe SIM is not considered as tethering, if based on this defination?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tethering

Tethering is connecting one device to another. In the context of mobile phones and tablet computers, tethering allows sharing the Internet connection of the phone or tablet with other devices such as laptops. Connection of the phone or tablet with other devices can be done over wireless LAN (Wi-Fi), over Bluetooth or by physical connection using a cable, for example through USB.

If tethering is done over WLAN, the feature may be branded as a mobile hotspot, which allows the smartphone to serve as a portable router; mobile hotspots may be protected by a PIN or password.[1] The Internet-connected mobile device can act as a portable wireless access point and router for devices connected to it.

He is asking USB tethering, not USB modem to PC.

host -- 192.168.*.* -- usb modem = tethering
host -- usb modem = ok

clear as crystal

Am using usbmodem 4g mf820d, cannot get lte for webe maybe becoz this modem not support webe band or my location cannot get lte signal (Maxis n digi can get lte in this modem at my location) If Direct plug usb to laptop webe can get connection. But if try enable ur laptop to be hotspot (cmd netsh wlan bla bla), the connected device cannot surf and will receive msg from webe.

Mifi device also cannot be used. Receive sms from webe.

Additional info:
I try using webe in my old rooted galaxy s3(not lte versio), but cannot get the data. Lenovo s650 also cannot get data.(believe these phone does not support webe band)

Xperia z3+ and the old zenfone4 able to get data. Hope this help.tq

can i usb webe sim with those regular broadband dongle?

webe LTE service run on FDD-LTE network with 850mhz band, a rare standard

only a few LTE usb modem models support this standard

put on regular LTE modem without this band support would put u on celcom 3g network, it still applicable, juz not being able connect to webe LTE network.
