Network blocking UDP?
I use mosh (https://mosh.org/) to connect to some servers and have for years, which has normally worked fine, but for the last couple of weeks it has not worked over the tmobile network at all, the U...
They are indeed blocking UPD connections on 5G networks
For the unaware; UPD is a network protocol that allows you to send packets of data without waiting on a reply from the host server. It is commonly used in Live or real-time services such as voice communication on discord or online gaming, or other low-latency applications.
Customer service appears to have no knowledge of this which means it is software engineers and higher up management.
It may be to clear up the network for their home internet service which also uses 5G service.
Apparently my last comment got hit by moderation and I do not remember using vulgar language in that one so I dont know.
For me, they blamed inseego for the issue. In any case, the only current fix to using UPD is to lower your network to 4G LTE which sucks, I know. In my case, 5G is 35ms, 4G LTE is 70ms, so it really hurts.
Hopefully they revert the changes to the backend.
Your only other choice is to move to a different company.
