No internet when using hotspot (NetworkManager) - Subsentient - 08-06-2020

I've tried various methods, but I can't seem to get access to the internet from machines I connect to my phone's hotspot. I'm using NetworkManager's create new wifi network feature, though I've tried doing it manually too.

Just seems to refuse to talk to the modem's 4G connection.

I can get it working by using a SOCKS proxy (e.g. ssh -D root@myphonedefaultgw), but that is very limited and has a lot of issues.

I checked with my carrier (Consumer Cellular) and they have hotspot enabled on their end for my account so I doubt it's being filtered or something.

Anyone else have this issue and/or manage to figure it out? Actually posting via my semi-broken SOCKS workaround now.

what is the result of
cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

if it's 0,

echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

Works pretty much out of the box on Mobian/phosh - just select from "hamburger" menu in Settings, WiFi.

It's enabled, and so is IPV6 /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/forwarding.

Still no luck, still have to use a proxy.

Have you checked routes and route priorities, both on the PinePhone and the other device?

Found the problem -- somehow various masquerade and NAT kernel compile options got switched off. Attached is a working .config file.
