I spent a day trying to overcome the tethering restriction on my T-Mobile unlimited data prepaid Moto-G. I tried changing some tether_dun_required setting (mentioned in parent), which required me to root my phone. That didn't have any effect!

I ended up running a SOCKS5 proxy on my android phone (the app is called Proxoid, and is unfortunately rather buggy). That at least works, though with the app being rather prone to crashes and hangs, it is not the ideal solution.
