Download PairVPN for Android, iOS, Windows & Mac. Step by step setup guide to bypass hotspot limits, protect privacy, and share data without throttling.

PairVPN is a lightweight app that lets you share your phone’s mobile data with other devices without it being detected as hotspot traffic. Mobile carriers often limit or slow down hotspot usage, even on unlimited data plans. PairVPN avoids these restrictions by tunneling your laptop, tablet, or computer’s traffic through your phone so it looks like regular phone data.

It supports Android, iOS, Windows, and macOS. The app runs in server mode on your phone and client mode on the connected device. Only one device can connect at a time, but setup is simple and doesn’t require technical skills.

PairVPN for Android

PairVPN lets you use your Android phone mobile data without the usual hotspot restrictions. Most carriers cap or throttle hotspot data, but PairVPN makes your laptop or tablet’s traffic look like normal phone usage.

• Run server mode on your Android phone.

• Run client mode on your laptop or tablet.

• Connect once, and all traffic passes through your phone’s data.

Only one device can connect at a time. Hotspot counters in settings may show usage, but your carrier account won’t register it as hotspot traffic.

PairVPN for Mac

PairVPN allows a Mac to use phone data without being flagged as hotspot usage. The Mac runs in client mode, while the phone runs in server mode. After pairing, the Mac’s traffic is tunneled through the phone’s data connection.

If your phone is an iPhone, the PairVPN app must stay active with the screen on, since iOS stops background apps. Hotspot counters may rise, but carriers won’t count it as hotspot.

PairVPN for iPhone

PairVPN lets an iPhone share mobile data as if it were normal usage. The iPhone runs in server mode, and the connected device (Mac, Windows PC, or tablet) runs in client mode. All traffic is tunneled through the iPhone’s data connection.

Only one device can connect at a time. The app must remain open with the screen on, since iOS does not allow it to run fully in the background. Hotspot usage stats shown in iOS settings can be ignored.

PairVPN for Windows

PairVPN lets a Windows PC connect through a phone’s mobile data without being recognized as hotspot traffic. Install the app on both the phone (server) and the Windows computer (client). Once paired, the computer’s internet runs through the phone’s data.

If the server device is an iPhone, the app must stay open with the screen on. Hotspot counters in phone settings may still rise, but your carrier account won’t register it as hotspot usage.
