Problem with VPN over Hotspot

[John Patounas]

I have got 2 days ago my new Galaxy S21 Ultra and installed all the updates.

I have a problem and the VPN on my laptop wont connect when using mobile hostspot.

It is not a provider problem because i replaced the sim card to another phone (Huawei) and works without problem.

Please advise how can i solve this as i need it to work. I am working remotely and the VPN over hostpot is a must for me.

Thanks in advance.

Thank you for this solution; it worked for me with Surfshark on an A32 5G, after coming across it following many hours of troubleshooting and less than helpful Surfshark support.

That being said, and my being very appreciative to find your post, though I had problems connecting my PC to the Surfshark VPN (and NordVPN, as well) when using the hotspot on my phone,  I can connect to Proton VPN without making any change to the default APN configuration.
