whenever i connect my laptop to my phone’s mobile hotspot, i can never get these to work:

  • ssh connection to my AWS environment
  • running apt-get update / yum updates  on my Ubuntu distro embedded in my Windows 10 laptop
  • installing anything via Mac Terminal on my Macbook Pro, such as RVM / NVM / wget calls / telnet calls, etc
  • the most common error i get in all the above use-cases is some variant of a “Network is unreachable” error message

anyone else run into this issue?  These issues defeat the point of paying for mobile hotspot since i have to be able to actually work using the hotspot : )

I don’t know about general ssh, but from my machines on my network, I can’t get to AWS EC2 instances using ssh at all. 

But I can on my work VPN?  Not what I want to do in this case…  I posted here also:
