Can't VPN unless you're using the ISP APN.
I know this thread is old but it seemed to be the most relevant place for me to respond.
First, what is meant by "ISP apn"? Which one is that?
The reason I ask is because I've been extensively testing and documenting my experience with openvpn over AT&T's 3G network using a Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket android phone.
The thread is at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1378970
My most recent conclusions indicate that the wap.cingular APN works, but the pta APN does not. The pta one works, but it doesn't resolve DNS queries so everything must be done via IP referencing.
As I know, android doesnt support WAP APN.
Does any body know can I configure APN to connect with WAP APN?
Maybe there is possible to write sth?
Reasone for this question: my mobile net. give access to some services only threw WAP protocol :/
Here is my current issue, is it possible to set manually the apn used for the hotspot? Using a tethering app won't do it as then it would be an adhoc connection, and those are disliked by most gadget.
Btw, the whole problem is that the apn Android uses for hotspot is different from the one I set for 3G connectivity, and that's quite expensive...

This section is pretty bare so I thought I'd share this app that I have been using to enable unlimited tethering. It was recently updated to work on LG 5.X devices and it really works. My phone does really heat up when it's enabled, but I guess that's a small price to pay to have to worry about the tethering cap.

I use it too, it was a little funky to set up but it works. I also agree on the heating up. It does have some issues charging while it is active. I left it on accidentally over night and it was plugged in. When I looked at it in the morning it was at 40% battery. Either way still worth it.

I've been successfully running WiFi Tether Router.
LTE Tether Patch is checked.
You have to set up an APN with IPv4.
Make sure you switch to the APN you set up with IPv4 protocol.
After you connect via WiFi to your pc, check to make sure WiFi Tether Router is using data from your unlimited phone data and not the Tmo Hotspot (5gb cap)

For what it's worth, if you have unlimited data with tmo you should have 7gb of hot spot. It was increased automatically when they updated their plans.

I'm still showing 5gb for some reason.
I'll have to check into it, as I see that it was increased to 7gb from 5gb.
Thanks

Set up the new APN with the same settings as your existing APN which is named T-Mobile LTE.
Double & triple check the settings.
The only setting which will be different is the IPv4 setting.
I named my new APN; T-Mobile LTE 2.
I also turned my WiFi off when I'm using WiFi Router.
Your pc should see WiFi Router which you will then connect to.
The above info is for my H811.
I see you have a Note 4.
I would think that my instructions should also work.
But look on the WiFi Router instructions to see if anything should be set differently for the Note 4.

Why is a second APN needed?

The APN Protocol needs to be IPv4, and I wasn't able to change my native protocol, the APN that's programmed into the phone which has IPv6, so I programmed a 2nd APN, which I am able to change. I use the 2nd APN when I use WiFi Router, and then I switch back to the IPv6 protocol APN when I disconnect from WiFi Router.
I didn't change no apn or check lte patch and so far I have used 40gb of wifi tether .

I just tried my original (native) APN w/IPv6 and unchecked LTE Tether Patch in WiFi Router, and it is confirmed working. Looks like the issue I was having previously regarding not connecting was unrelated to setting up a new APN, and coincidentally started working after connecting to the newly set up APN.

I'm using Method 2.
I am able to connect using either/or:
- APN Protocol IPv4
- APN Protocol IPv6
- LTE Tether Patch checked
- LTE Tether Patch unchecked
*Important*
When you connect to WiFi Router, check your data to make sure you are using your Unlimited Data and not your Hotspot alloted data.
Don't want to sound silly, but is there a proper guide on how to set up an apn on this phone? Would really like to tether my laptop.

To set up a new APN, press:
- Settings
- More
- Mobile Networks
- Access point names
- Press the 3 dots in upper right
- New APN
Using the settings from your existing T-Mobile LTE, fill in the following fields for your new APN, with the following changes notated with an * -
*Name
(T-Mobile LTE 2 or whatever you'd like)
APN
MMSC
MCC
MNC
*APN type
(default,supl,mms,dun)
*APN protocol
(IPv4)
I set up my new APN a while ago, but I am able to use my original APN (T-Mobile LTE) to tether without issue.
When you tether, check your account to make sure your data is being used from your included Unlimited Data and not from your Hotspot limited data.
So this app lets me use more then 7gb of teathering....so this is the teathering hack?
Hi,
I am wondering, if I am holding it wrong or if anybody else can reproduce my issue:
When using Wireguard over the mobile Network, I am only getting terrible speeds. WG over Wifi, all is well. Also, without WG, all is well. Tunnel off over Mobile, all well. Tunnel on or off over wifi: All well. Only Tunnel on over mobile network is giving terrible speeds. And this is only happening with the S21U. S20+, Tab S6 are fine with WG tunnel over T-Mobile DE.
Constellation: Using WG tunnel on the S21U over T-Mobile DE giving very slow speeds, only several hundred kilobit/s. Device is an SM-G988B DBT (exynos), 256GB.
I have tried:
- using another SIM-Card - problem in the S21U, fine in Tab S6
- rebooted S21U
- checked and reset APN settings
- use different WG endpoints in several countries and over several destination ports
- set the S21 to 5G, 4G, 3G - always slow speeds over mobile
As Wireguard is quite common nowadays, is anybody else expierencing this problem?
Thanks
Yes, trying to bump it, but seriously, nobody using a wireguard VPN?
I just did a wireguard connection, I'm getting 350mbps download to a local server (400mbps internet package), seems to work fine for me
Thanks, @aroy97 - over mobile network, NOT wifi?
Over wifi, all is well, only over data connection it does not work well at all for me.
I am still having this issue. Can somebody please be kind and test?
- Wireguard over MOBILE, not WIFI
- Speedtest
- Speed ok?
Have S21 Ultra and wireguard, use over mobile and works fine - tested over 4g and 5g - speed is fine
Wireguard is based on udp. Your carrier may be blocking udp.
I switched to Wiregaurd protocol in PIA VPN app a while ago as I get better speeds on the VPN connections. Not had any issues with it since flipping from OpenVPN stack to Wiregaurd.

I can confirm this situation. I have a S21, no plus or ultra. The issue is with both wireguard app and TunSafe app. Over Wifi no problem, over mobile - almost no throughput. Without WG VPN: no problem whatsoever.
I run the VPN endpoint myself, and so can see that on the other side of the tunnel, a lot of retransmissions (about 10%) and out-of-order packages occur. Tweaking MTU doesn't help.
My mobile provider is indeed also T-Mobile DE. When you tried "another" SIM card - was that also T-Mobile, or one of the other providers here?
Cheers
OMG, finally.
A workaround which makes it a little better is to disable 'Paketplaner auf mehreren Kernen' in Developer Options.
Bit you know what resolved the issue? Found out recently:
Switching the tunnel (not necessarily Transport) protocol to IP v6. It is, however, a bit of a hassle to set up, as I am using an UDM behind a Fritz.
You need to delegate a prefix from the Fritz to the UDM (did a /60), open the Fritz Firewall for the delegated prefix, set the UDM firewall accordingly, do v6 dyndns from the raspis (which are the WG endpoint).
Get yourself an account from mullvad for 5€ per month, there you can easily set up v4, v6 tunnels and test a lot. That is, how I found out.
I have no idea, how this issue can stay all the way up to the Android 12 beta.

This did not make any difference on my side. The connection was as slow and with the same retransmission rate as with this option enabled.

Can you pls go into details:
if you are behind a Fritz Box then we're talking about WiFi and not mobile data. Using WiFi along with a wireguard VPN works without trouble for me.
How do you switch the tunnel protocol? Do you mean to define only ipv6 addresses between the two peers, which means: encapsulate ipv6 traffic inside a ipv4 connection?
If so - how is the Fritz Box involved here? If your ipv6 traffic is encapsulated in the tunnel, the Fritz Box cannot see any of the contents, i.e.: doesn't know that there is ipv6 flowing inside the tunnel.
Thanks for a more verbose explanation.
PS: if I assing an ipv6 address only to the config of the mobile client, and the same on the counterpart config on the server, then still I can open the tunnel via WiFi, but not via mobile data. And even if the tunnel is open via Wifi, I cannot transfer data as ipv4 packets don't seem to flow through the ipv6 tunnel (or at least I don't know how to do that, not so experienced with ipv6).
So again - advice is appreciated.
Will go into more detail later, just quickly:
- Paketplaner is making a big difference for me. Interesting.
- I am hosting Wireguard on a raspi behind the unifi UDM, which is behind the Fritz. Everything in the row has an IPv6 address.
- Therefore I am on mobile data and connecting to my home WG instances - Problem is regardless of connecting to home or e.g. Mullvad. And yes, when the S21 is on wifi, no problem at all.
- Switching between protocols: Setting up the tunnel with an IPv6 destination address and being in an IPv6 network (like Telekom DE offers) makes the difference for me. You need to enable a native v6 connection wan side on the Fritz and also enable it on LAN. You need to set up v6 LAN side on the UDM and on the raspi.
- If you are using an 'external' VPN provider, just try setting up an IP v6 connection. V6 addresses, inside it can be v4. If there is v4 or v6 inside the tunnel (peer addresses are v4 or v6) is not making a difference for me.
Do you want more details on Mullvad? There you can get 1 month for 5€ and quickly create qr codes with different settings (v6 tunnel, v4 transport and vice versa or combinations).
All this brought me to the following solution:
The problem is the IPv6-to-IPv4 gateway of Telekom. This gateway comes into play when the APN internet.v6.telekom is used. This is the case on newer devices. Thus we don't see a problem of the S21 here, but what we see is the problem of a "new" device being autoconfigured to use the 6to4 gateway.
If I use the IPv4 APN (internet.telekom), then wireguard works fine on both WiFi and mobile network.
However I'd like to stay with IPv6. For this I configured the wireguard client to use the IPv6 address of my VPN endpoint. But even then I cannot bring up the connection over mobile network.
All in all it seems to me that there is something weird within the Telekom network.
