VPN issues

All devices and home network are good. Signal strength is 2 bars (weak, but functional).  Spouse needs to set up VPN to work from home, but even IT from the office could not get VPN to work via T-Mob...

I had this issue and resolved it with my job's IT team.  You have to change everything to just IPv4.  I am a complete layperson, but here are the steps to resolve for me, using Windows 10 and a CISCO VPN:

Remove IPv6 from your Wifi:

  1. Go to Control Panel
  2. Click “Network and Sharing”
  3. Click the hyperlink after “Connections” for the section named after your WIFI Hub
  4. Click the “Properties” button in the bottom left of the pop-up box
  5. De-select “Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6)”

Remove IPv6 from your VPN:

  1. Click Start
  2. Click Settings (looks like a gear)
  3. Click Network and Internet
  4. Select “Change Adapter Options”
  5. Right click on your VPN
  6. Select Properties
  7. De-select “Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6)”

I know that the Wifi and VPN Propiedades screen can be accessed either way, but I wanted to show that there are two ways of accessing them.  

Hope this helps someone out there!

So I tried your IT's suggestions but I have a Asus RT-N66U between my Trashcan and home network with 3rd party software on it but if anyone has a device like this between there's the can go into settings and turn off IPv6 on the router completely. The VPN should work but it's slow. Also this trashcan just plain sucks for pulling in a signal. This is what I have to do to get 3 bars really T-Mobile I can see the frigging tower! The speedtest is with IPv6 turned off when it's turned back on, ping time increases, download increases, and upload stays about the same. But then no VPN. 1 simple firmware update adding bridge mode in and this piece of ---- may be worth it.  More to come...
