iptables set TTL command not accepted
Posted: Sun Mar 21, 2021 1:25 pm
Thanks in advance for anyone taking the time to read.
I bought the ProntoNetworks 4G Modem PP14O and I am being throttled by Tmobile. I have tried to search how to avoid being throttled by the ISPs and it seems the only success comes from setting the TTL to 65. I am having trouble because there is no setting for TTL on the GUI. The modem it uses is the Quectel EC25, the GUI is a clone of the Asus N56U. There is a Console emulator on the GUI and I am able to send commands.
I have tried sending the following variations of the command unsuccessfully:
iptables -t mangle -I POSTROUTING -o <ModemName> -j TTL --ttl-set 65
setting <ModemName> to:
wwan0
usb0, usb1, usb2, usb3
ttyUSB0, ttyUSB1, ttyUSB2, ttyUSB3
reply is "iptables: No chain/target/match by that name."
I am thinking that I just do not know what the modem name is but to be honest I am not at all knowledgeable and I have gotten this far by reading forum posts and I need detailed instructions to get anywhere.
Am I on the right path here?
