issues with hotspots on verizon

of course, on stock android with gms, verizon hotspot does not work at all (says to purchase it and blocks you)

on calyx it used to work fine and i would get around their throttling using powertunnel (a tool that obfuscates traffic)

recently i have had issues though:

  • hotspots have no internet access
  • using powertunnel also causes me to have no internet access

another thing is i have noticed some other blockings:

  • orbot is no longer working for me
  • riseupvpn is no longer working for me
  • all ooni probe tests fail
