    Having to literally build my own network to work off of because the organization’s network is locked down to un-usability for anything. I also now hate T-mobile’s CGNAT with a passion that I never thought I could feel over a networking architecture decision.

      Look into VPN-based network overlays if you’re stuck behind a DNS or NAT based protective network.

      It’s why I always have my hotspot on me.

        I was looking at getting a wireguard up with policy based routing, but apparently they have something in there which messes that up too, leading a bunch of folks to try using openVPN in https mode. At some point you just have to stop jumping through hoops and ask why you’re giving business to an organization which simply doesn’t deliver the bare minimum for no discernable good reason.

        Also the tower reception is flapping all over the place from the hotspot in my location, so I’m a very unhappy bunny.
