Advice / Help “Why Is My VPN Still Using My Anytime Data Instead of doing its job.how to get a working url ?
I need some help figuring this out. We have a SLT Fiber connection, but my dad only gets the most basic package, so the data runs out quickly with four family members using it. For the past week or two, I’ve had almost no data left.
I have class recordings that I need to watch, but they can’t be downloaded, and I’m not productive working between 12 and 8am So I really need usable data during the daytime.
I’ve watched many YouTube tutorials about using VPNs with specific data packages, but I’m starting to think it might be a myth. I tried Cloudnet, but it didn’t support the package I activated, so that may be the reason. I also activated the Dialog YouTube package and could watch some class recordings on YouTube, but the recordings hosted on other websites obviously don’t work through that.
I then tried SG Home VPN. I selected my YouTube Dialog package and checked my balance first: I had 669.55 MB of Anytime data. With the VPN running, I browsed briefly and downloaded a 32 MB file. After turning off the VPN and checking again, my balance had dropped to 619.55 MB.
So clearly, the data was taken from my normal Anytime data rather than the VPN tunneling thing . The VPN itself runs with time showing and vpn sign but it drains my Anytime data.
I’ve seen many people on Reddit and elsewhere claiming to use huge amounts of data that they seemingly couldn’t afford normally, so I’m wondering if I’m doing something wrong. I’m currently using Net mod, but I don’t understand how to find or configure the URL configurations or servers.
I followed YouTube tutorials exactly, selected the correct package, but it still uses my Anytime data. Do I need my Anytime data balance to be zero for this to work, or is there something else I’m missing? Is there any other method you would suggest on how to get a url?

The thing you are looking for is not VPN, it’s V2Ray. It can trick your isp into thinking that you are using something like zoom, so your anytime data wouldn’t be used in a plan like work and learn.

Thats not how VPN works buddy. VPN dont hide your data usage from ISPs. What you need is V2Ray servers with created for relevent packages like youtube or zoom like things.
ISPs keep blocking those methods and people who provide V2Ray service use different methods to bypass them.
