GlobalProtect cannot connect to VPN server using Iphone12 hotspot

I recently upgraded my Iphone from Iphone8 to Iphone12. I used to be able to connect to my work VPN using Iphone8, but it is no longer possible with Iphone12.

I tried with with other people Iphone and the issue seems to only occurs with Iphone 12. Here are my tests:

Not working:

-- iphone12 + ATT hotspot connects to VPN : not working

-- iphone12 mini + ATT hotspot connects to VPN: not working

Working:

-- iphone10 + ATT hotspot connects VPN: working

-- iphone8 + ATT hotspot connects VPN: working

-- home wifi connects VPN: working.

Something is not working right with Iphone12. Does anyone know what the issue could be? Is it Iphone12, ATT networks, or the VPN server?

iPhone 12, iOS 14

Is the 12 on AT&T's 5G network? Try disabling 5G and see if it makes a difference.

There are 3 modes for "voice and data" namely "5G on", "5G Auto", and "LTE". I tried all three modes but none of them helped

There are also 3 modes for "Data Mode" namely "Allow more data on 5G", "Standard", and "Low Data Mode". I also tried all three but none of them helped.

I also changed MTU on my laptop as as suggested by other people with similar issue using command below but that did not help.

netsh interface ipv4 set subinterface "Wi-Fi" mtu=1320 store = persistent
