Cannot connect to VPN via wi-fi hotspot

[capncreer]

I regularly connect to a remote server via a VPN.

I used to be able to connect to it via my Android 14 phone and its wi-fi hotspot but not any more. No messages, the VPN client (FortiClient) just fails to connect.

This is a seasonal thing, I use it when away from my desk during summer holidays. For the last several summers it has been fine, this year not. The VPN techies have looked hard, found nothing, and are now pointing the finger at EE.

Any ideas?

@capncreer  EE are not limiting you via your phones hotspot.  Can you connect to the web with or without the VPN via your phone’s hotspot? 
if you can there is nothing wrong with the phone’s hotspot and it’s working.    You need to test with and without the VPN.
