IPV 4

Will T-Mobile be setting up IPV 4 on the home internet?

    I'm sure your IT department is more knowledgeable about your VPN than I. The solution I use is for the retail market, not the corporate market like FontiClient.

    I have to admit that I'm a bit baffled since IPV6 has been around for quite some time and most devices support it. I would have expected that FontiClient DID support IPV6 and that T-Mobile DIDN’T, but not the opposite. Life never lets up on surprising me. 

    At the risk of asking a “Is it plugged in, is it turned on” type of question, is the FontiClient firmware/software up to date? Are they offering you the latest client? Lots of companies don't take maintenance contracts and the software can quickly become out of date.

    Here are a couple articles that may offer more insight on how to fix this:

    Let me know how it works out for you and your IT staff.

    We use FontiClient. My IT department worked most of the morning trying to figure out a way to connect it to IPV 6 with no luck.

    Kenny, are you using a software VPN? What is the brand name? I'm using Mullvad VPN and don't have any problem whatsoever.

    T-Mobile said they only work on IVP 6 and my work VPN only works on IPV 4. When I connect to the VPN I lose internet. Both sides say there is nothing that can be done at this time.
