Can't log to steam or another application with mobile hotspot

[Sumatoa]

Hello, I have a ♥♥♥♥♥ internet at home, so i tried to use my mobile hotspot to download a game faster. but when i try to connect to steam when i'm on my mobile hotspot it said im offline, and that the same with League of Legend, the game say i'm offline so i can't login. But i can watch vidéos on youtube, go on facebook/twitter/etc... The only thing i can't do is connect to a service or download a game on steam/battle.net/origin/uplay

Ps: The 4g work perfectly on my mobile

I can assume ports being blocked, or not working as intended.

How can i open mobile hotspot ports ?

[Dr.Shadowds 🐉]

You need to find the access point, which can vary, and since most cases hotspots tend to have dynamic IP, which changes randomly which you need a static IP to keep the same IP.

Another option is VPN connecting to a network that does have ports that are needed open. If you have router / modem with wifi for it at home, can just use that to port forwards, but you said you have crappy internet which I assume you meant your internet with your router / modem. So not many options really for you tbh. Also please note that VPN may not be safe as you wouldn't know whom the host of that VPN service.

I think the problem are not the port, bcz i had try to put my sim card into another mobile and activate the hotspot. And it was working phone, so the problem it's my phone.
or maybe i have wrong bcz i think the port are dependent of the mobile operator

open the wifi icon on the bottom right corner of your screen (This is for windows btw) and then click on properties of the hotspot you cant connect to. Then look for IP settings and click edit change it to manual and turn on IPv6 and click save you dont have to add anything on the blank spaces that appear when you turn it on just click save.

For those facing this issue, thats how I solved:
1- in your cellphone, go to configuration, network, then look for the 4g configuration you are hotspoting. There, you must look for something about APN configuration. In this, ENABLE IPv4/IPv6.
2- in your computer, connect to hotspot, then go for properties of the connection. In network profile, check "PRIVATE conection". Then look for firewall security config, and DISABLE firewall for domain network and private network (be aware this may put you in danger). Thats how I could again acess steam and my beloved destiny 2.

same issue still can't connect through my iOS hotspot.

I used to be able to use hot spots with no issue, and now I get BS messages saying I ain't connected to the internet.
I tried setting it to IPV6 and still no go.

Same problem with me. Hotspot from iphone13 5g to PC has ipv6 connection. I cant connect to steam and discord with ipv6 but youtube, facebook, etc. is fine.

When I use LAN (ethernet), our ISP (PLDT) has ipv4 connection and everything is fine.
