    Hey, @magentapink​!

    Welcome to our Support Community! Does your hotspot work when you don't attempt to modify the DNS settings (when not using Cloudfare's new DNS resolver)? If so, the service is working as it should be and we don't have any other workarounds to provide a different DNS setting.

Hi, Yes the service works after removing the custom DNS settings, but this means I have to remove the custom DNS settings from my MacBook's Network Preferences and then re-add the custom DNS settings after disconnecting from Personal Hotspot, hardly convenient and rather unnecessary seeing as it works for every other ISP, can't your network team fix it so that your network allows DNS pass-through?
