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...
Today (5/22/21),I was advised by tier 2 technical support that T-mobile does not support the use of VPNs through a cell phone hot spot. This was in response to my issue of not being able to establish an IKEv2 VPN from my laptop through the hot spot on a Samsung S20G FE. (I can do so using a different ISP without issue). When I asked for the document that stated as much, it was not immediately avalible. I was told I would have a copy within 72 hours. I am not holding my breath.
I can establish an SSL-based VPN connection through the hotspot, probably because SSL has to be supported for an internet connection to be of any value whatsoever.
I consider this a material failure since T-mobile does not make this information available when one signs up. I am considering legal action to negate the contract.
