You might even be able to bypass hotspot limits on mobile data by setting client device's TTL to 65, which gets reduced to Android's default of 64 once routed through your phone. This can be done with sysctl on Linux.

Alternatively, if that doesn't work, just run an HTTP proxy server on your phone. Tinyproxy is easy to set-up, and is available in default Termux repository.

Unfortunately my PC is out if commission at the moment but I'm saving your comment for when I get it working. In the meantime I will definitely look into the local proxy server option. Thanks for the suggestions.
