Unless you're on a 'normal' ISP any conectivithy issue you have are likely due to you being tethered.
I realize that for some people normal 'wired' ISPs in their areas might be somewhere between a hamster on a wheel, and a chicken with its head cut off horrible. Tethering on 4G seems like an awesome idea because their normal ISPs are garbage. I get it. I sympathize that maybe you don't really have a lot of options other than tethering.
You 'might' try to use a VPN connection to hide the Steam authenication part from your ISP. THat might allow you to bypass the blocks from your mobile provider. Note that if you do, dont use the VPN connection to buy anything on Steam as doing tah is a violation of the SSA.
On Android device:
Settings/Mobile Networks/Access Point Names/
Select your "internet" option (or something similarly named) and take screenshots of all settings (power button + volume down on some phones). Your probably cannot edit those pre-entered settings from your phone network, so you will need to make a new access point using the screenshotted details. You will need to look up the password for your phone network provider online, as this will be blocked out by ***** on the phone. On the phone go back to the previous screen under access point names, and click on "Add" in the top right of the screen and re-enter all of the settings that you took screenshots of (plus the password that you looked up online) Once added, make sure to select the "InternetIPv4" APN setting that you just configured. Your phone should temporarily lose internet connection and rapidly reconnect. Check that you can browse the internet from your phone. Then tether your device to your phone and check that you can browse the internet from your tethered device. Now open Steam and login as normal from your tethered device (hopefully).
