I've got a mikrotik setup that's been solid enough for a year plus. Recently I've noticed that there is hotspot data being used and I've narrowed it down to the PS5.
Does anyone have a clue why this would be and how I might be able to fix it? It's not a problem at the moment, but I'd like to have everything working in that nice unlimited data pile.
t-Mobile only PS5 data shows as hotspot data

Re: t-Mobile only PS5 data shows as hotspot data
Your router is likely leaking hotspot data through IPv6.
Try replacing the existing TTL rules under Network > Firewall > Custom rules > copy and paste this over the entire existing page:
iptables -t mangle -I POSTROUTING -o radio usb0 -j TTL --ttl-set 65
iptables -t mangle -I PREROUTING -i usb0 -j TTL --ttl-set 65
ip6tables -t mangle -A POSTROUTING -o usb0 -j HL --hl-set 65
ip6tables -t mangle -I PREROUTING -i usb0 -j HL --hl-set 65
Click on Save/Restart Firewall.
Go to Modem > Connection Profile > copy and paste the following:
Custom DNS Server1: 1.1.1.1
Custom DNS Server2: 1.0.0.1
Custom DNS Server3: 2606:4700:4700::1111
Custom DNS Server4: 2606:4700:4700::1001
Click on Save&Apply, reboot the router and test it.
