VPN thru MF279 hotspot

I use A sonic global VPN to connect to work from home. But it will not connect through my MF279 hotspot. Are there any particular settings that I need to use for this to work correctly so I don't have to hot spot off my phone and run into speed slow downs.

Hey @Lost_brett,

 

Let us help point you in the right direction!

 

You will need to update your VPN settings within the hotspot admin portal. To do so:

  1. From a device that is connected to the AT&T Wireless Internet network, open the web browser and go to http://att.wirelessinternet. Enter your Admin login, then click Login.
    Note: The default admin login is attadmin. The admin login can be found on the bottom of the device.
  2. Click Settings > Advanced > Router
  3. Enter VPN settings

Check out this MF279 support article for more information. Let us know if you run into any issues along the way!

Had this exact same issue.  Need to go into SonicWall GVC and click on Properties. On General tab, scroll down to bottom and check the box "Restrict the size of the first ISAKMP packet sent".     Also make sure VPN passthrough option is allowed in the AT&T MF279 router settings.
