cannot establish VPN connection using personal hotspot.

Hello Everybody!

I have a problem to establish VPN connection using my iPhone 13 mini with iOS 16.4.1

I have no problem with VPN when I use home WiFi connection.

I have no problem with VPN connection using Android mobile hotspot, but when I connect my Dell XPS13 to iPhone's personal hotspot, I receive an internet connection that work fine, but cannot establish VPN connection to remote server. I receive a message:

Can you help me?

iPhone 13 mini, iOS 16

The Hotspot is a Carrier Specific feature. Contact your Carrier (Cellular Service Provider), the agency that issued the SIM / eSIM to you.

See the Pic below the Hotspot is made available based on the Mobile Data selected and the feature that is enabled by the Carrier

Thank you for an answer, but I have no any problem using personal hotspot for common internet propose.

The only problem is to establish VPN connection.

As to SIM card or my Carrier:

I transfer SIM from iPhone to my Android phone and Xiaomi Android allow VPN connection, but iPhone - no.

So, the problem is with iPhone.

I took my son's iPhone12 Max Pro. Another model, another Carrier - the same result: no VPN connection.
