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...

@FlyingDog For sure the performance is worse when connected to the VPN. The previous several months this was always the case for me, I'd get about a 10-fold reduction in download speed and there was always massive latency.
My grey cylinder stopped working with my company just few days ago, maybe after they updated its firmware? How do I find out the firmware version?
Anyway, I just discovered using my cell phone hot spot as an initial connection helped me connect to company VPN using tmobile home internet. Anyone know why that might be? Here are the steps I used:
- Connect my Macbook Pro to cell phone hotspot
- Connect to VPN (GlobalProtect in my case)
- Switch wifi connection from cell phone hotspot to T-mobile home internet
- Wait for VPN to reconnect
- The VPN connection is now working over T-mobile home internet
