[arm-allstar] HamVoIP on T-Mobile home service

[Patrick Perdue]

FWIW:

This client is in Port Washington, NY, on the north shore of Long 
Island, and has had the T-Mobile home internet service for a few months, 
and phone service for much longer. They both started exhibiting this 
behavior at the same time, at some point earlier last week. He verified 
that the problem was with T-Mobile by connecting to a neighbor's Optimum 
Online internet in the same apartment complex, and his roommate's 
Verizon hotspot. All was well there.

It is not possible to ping any IP address other than local devices on 
the LAN through the Raspberry Pi (I didn't check other devices), and the 
router itself. Absolutely nothing else responds.

Everything is working well with the Wireguard VPN client installed on 
the clear node routed through a VPS in New Jersey. It can even accept 
incoming node connections now if desired.

So new towers are going up and they are increasing their footprint. You did nt say where your client is or how long he has had T-Mo it it's new it's probably been configured by idiots. And will not get properly configured till enough Joe and Jally six packs complain.
