Re: DNS Blocking on T-Mobile Gateway, Gateway Refuses to Accept Connection
Check to make sure you are using their dns to start with before you initiate the vpn connection. I am using a software based vpn and it connects without issue. If you are using a hardware appliance vpn, it might be hardcoded to use another dns (which should be a feature) so you will have to check the manual to modify the configuration to get it to work. Once you establish the vpn connection you will be good, yes they can block it but it is unlikely as many people have these vpns to connect for work and many employers even ship vpn appliances to employees to enable them to have many company devices all separated out from the employee's home network. If they had messed with this, now they would get businesses and some of their biggest corporate patrons upset.Re: DNS Blocking on T-Mobile Gateway, Gateway Refuses to Accept Connection
Well, some others have reported that some of their devices are hard coded with other dns providers. I have a smart thermostat and who knows what else that are dead and can't connect till either they knock it off or I figure out a good work around. Only fool proof work around that would turn everything back on is a whole network vpn to forward all traffic.Re: DNS Blocking on T-Mobile Gateway, Gateway Refuses to Accept Connection

It says I am not on ip6, it only picks up a ipv6 on the local computer/network but it isn't a valid ipv6 address for the internetRe: DNS Blocking on T-Mobile Gateway, Gateway Refuses to Accept Connection

Yep, I was trying to think of an innocent answer to this problem. Just maybe they have t-mobile using a private dns for name translation for servers needed to connect on the t-mobile network and since other dns providers don't have the ability to translate these names into an ip address the connection fails. If so, who ever set this up failed to realize how badly they had broken everyone's internet connection.
