Can't tether PS4 to iPhone since 11.3 update

I've been using my iPhone 6 and my Daughters iPhone 7 as a wifi hotspot to play our PlayStation 4 games online for several years. I updated my phone to iOS 11.3 and now the PS4 will not connect. It worked on my Daughters phone until the phone updated to 11.3 last night.

When trying to connect the PS4, the PS4 asks for a Proxy Server. In the past, we've selected Do Not Use and it connected. Now it will not connect. Any ideas?

iPhone 6, iOS 11.0.3, null

I am not sure what is happening because my PS4 pro works with my iPhone X. You may need to call Apple or Sony and explain to them what steps you are taking. It would be unreasonable for me to ask for a photo after each step on the PS4. When I chose network it gave me two choices; use wifi and use lan. It said nothing about proxy. I set it up under "easy" not custom and it did everything by itself.

Yes. Have tried it on two different PS4s. Both connected the day before the 11.3 update. After the update, neither will connect.

On my PS4 Pro, I went to settings>network>set up internet connection>use wifi and made sure my hotspot was on and it worked.

Those are the steps I took before which worked but quit working after 1.3. And you are running an iPhone 6 or 7 with iOS 11.3?

I am using an iPhone X with 11.3. The model of phone does not matter.

Yes. Resetting network settings did not help.

The PS4 asks for a Proxy Server. In the past, I hit “do not use” and it would work. Doesn’t work now.

Just tried with an Android phone and it connected with no issues. Still can’t get it to connect to either of our iPhones.
