The hotspot on my iphone will not connect to the internet on my pc, my friends pc or my Roku stick. It may have started after the 15.7 upgrade; I have since upgraded to 16.1.1. I have contacted Apple tech, AT&T tech, have tried everything known to man. My pc recognizes the hotspot, connects then shows "no internet: secured"? Can anyone help? It was working, the phone itself has internet.
Thanks
iPhone XR, iOS 16

Hope that help.
I have tried all of that, it still does not work... I can watch through my firewall under private networks, it shows up and connects. But no internet. Is there anyway AT&T could have turned off my hotspot internet, but still allow the iPhone to use the internet?
Other than the devices you mention in your post, are any other devices not able to gain Internet access via the iPhone's Personal Hotspot?
The "error" message you provided appears to be an issue with the wireless security level that the PC is not accepting to use for the connection.
Since you have already "tried everything known to man" and we have no idea what that was, I'm not sure that we can offer much assistance without repeating any of those attempts.
I have another mobile hotspot that works fine with my pc and Roku stick. We have upgraded all devices. Reset network settings, changed name of hotspot, new password, dumped the hotspot from the pc and started over, I have not run over the data usage in the iPhone.
I have tried everything; I can watch it connect in Network and Sharing Center to the iPhone, it shows in properties. (IPv4 connectivity - no network) (IPv6 - connectivity no internet).
I disabled and enabled Wi-Fi. I am going to call AT&T for the fifth time, they made a change in my data plan (increased It) after I noticed it not working, I am not sure it had stopped working prior to that change and if they shut it down, the plan change may not have reset the data usage, if I had gone over.
The PC and my Roku work fine with the other mobile hotspot I have.
Thanks
Thank You all for the advice on this problem.
The problem was an add-on VPN, which would not let the hotspot connect to the internet.
