I have calyx hotspot/ tmobile home internet. Ive been having issues with my work Palo Alto Global Protect VPN and tailscale. Neither of them seem to stay connected. They will work for a bit after I reboot my modem. I am using the glinet spitz 5g modem. Any tips for band, MTU, or APN for better experience?
How is your speed and connection quality otherwise? The fact that your work VPN doesn’t stay connected – I’m assuming the client is running on your PC – is odd. That makes me think there may be some issues with signal strength or tower congestion. TMobile also gives home internet a lower priority than cell phone traffic.
It probably has to do with being native ipv6 and needing to ride a 6to4 nat to reach the broader internet.
Start at 1400 and walk the MTU down by ~50 until you find stability, then id creep it back up by 10 to find the ‘perfect’ size, but that part isn’t really needed if you’re impatient. :)
E. I found 1290 was needed for reliable VPN over an ATT nighthawk hotspot.
