No internet when using hotspot (NetworkManager)
08-06-2020, 03:21 AM
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.
