in most cases, FoxFi does not use the phones built in hotspot app

that masks the data as phone use data, instead of showing as Hotspot data
the key here is too use a third party APP (there are several) and Not the built in hotspot feature provided by your carrier, which identifies the data usage
As you mentioned they maintain a net server that acts as a VPN. A few years ago they went down and there was a lot of unhappy people, Foxfi users thought Verizon had somehow compromised the Ap but finally Foxfi owned up to there issue.
