Re: DNS Blocking on T-Mobile Gateway, Gateway Refuses to Accept Connection

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. They actually told me on the phone IPSec and IKEV are not supported on their Dual-Stack system. Also I discovered my computer is only routing IPv4 Traffic to the VPN, when I turn off IPv6 on my physical NIC then everything goes through the VPN. It's all kinds of shifty.36Visto1like0ComentariosRe: DNS Blocking on T-Mobile Gateway, Gateway Refuses to Accept Connection

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. My VPN is broken. I got it connected over PPTP but it still shows T-Mobile as my carrier and not my VPN. So Idk if that will work. Also for some reason IPSec and IKEV VPN connections are broken!?14Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: DNS Blocking on T-Mobile Gateway, Gateway Refuses to Accept Connection
I've been on the phone with them a couple times to complain about the dual-stack issue. I'm on the phone again right now and I've been subjected to 30 minutes of silent hold so far. I'm about to call up Verizon and see about their fixed wireless home internet service.41Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: DNS Blocking on T-Mobile Gateway, Gateway Refuses to Accept Connection
I actually noticed this myself. My Apple TV was using the Cloudflare DNS 1.1.1.1 and it's been blocked, my dad's Chromecast uses Google's own 8.8.4.4 and 8.8.8.8 DNS servers and it can't connect to ANYTHING and I can't change the DNS on the Chromecast. I also had nothing but issues from my Desktop (Windows and Linux), Laptop (Linux), and Tablet (Linux). Until I changed off the Cloudflare DNS to Automatic DNS.61Visto1like0Comentarios
