Writing ITT because i have exhausted every other option to find the answer. About a month ago, the verizon wireless network (cdma) 1x,3G, and 4G LTE started blocking all VPN connections after one minute and dropping the data connection. You connect with whatever vpn app, t-oh-are included and its vpn, the connection remains active for one minute, then the connection is dropped and the data logo on the notification bar turns gray and disconnects. About 10 seconds later the data connection to the phone returns and the vpn will connect but again only for one minute and the cycle continues. I have googled and found many comments with people having the same issue but no fix. Also spent 4 hours on the phone with verizon tier 2 and shit tier 3 support. Also nothing, they claim its my phone, yet the same problem happens on 8 different devices on 3 different verizon networks in 4 different tower locations and they refuse to admit it is a network issue. So my question is, how am i able to use a vpn on the verizon network now??? Inb4 use verzions paid vpn. What options do i have? Let us not forget when verzion blocked 4cuck from its mobile network in the past. This problem has also been reported across the entire verizon network, not just the mobile network. Please forgive me, i dont have the means and computer to traceroute and do real research on the issue.

They really are. Companies like comcast and verizon probably lobbied your state to create barriers to entry for competitors. They usually also lobby your state so that you can't have municipal broadband in your town.
>>952242
Most states have laws lobbied by ISPs that make it either impossible or not worth your time to have municipal broadband. There was actually a lot of success in the local city hall making their own broadband since comcast/verizon/att/whatever fucking sucked and clearly did not have the local residents' interests at heart, and the ISPs really did not like that so they lobbied all the states hard so it either couldn't be done or wouldn't be worth the effort. A lot of states have outright bans but in california for instance there is just a clause declaring that cities can make municipals ISPs but if a private ISP wants to move in they have to sell them (probably for less than the cost of making it) because "muh free market" or shit, even though this would destroy market competition, not improve it. FFS if your private service loses out to a publicly owned option, then you fucking deserve to lose. That's how the free market is supposed to work. The result is that even in California no one would fucking make a municipal ISP just to sell their hard efforts at a discount to Comcast so that they can fleece people.

Wrong, because ICANN has fuck-all to do with it. You've completely misunderstood how DNS works and apparently you haven't noticed that ICANN is not Verizon and Verizon is not ICANN, so when Verizon is doing a thing, it's sure as fuck not ICANN's doing, not to mention connecting to Tor doesn't even use the DNS, making ICANN completely irrelevant.

Boring. Net Neutrality had nothing to do with final delivery of content to consumers. All it required was the peering of AS networks to be free. That puts a lot of undue monetary strain on backbone networks that otherwise charge their clients the bandwidth and data used.

All of this crap started rolling down hill when DNS was trasnferred to ICANN. It's easy to conclude that it was the initial turd that caused this mess.
>Something about Verizon is not ICANN
So what? Why would they have to be the same? The transfer of DNS authority to ICANN happened months before the first net neutrality debate and Obama's or the FCC's mandate to institute net neutrality. Peering was already an established practice among these businesses to help establish a partnership and grow each other's networks mutually. However, with individual consumers like Google, Facebook, Netflix, Amazon becoming the consolidated services that average internet users go to, the actual ISP's of these consumers have found it necessary to begin charging bandwidth and data usage fees in order to recoup their losses. This was all after DNS was transferred to ICANN. Not before. Correlate your shit. You could even go back to the High Performance Computing act of 1991 was the real piece of shit that ruined the internet by allowing commercialization of the internet thereby allowing bullshit like pornography, rape, murder, drugs and other undesirable social ills to spread through it. In my opinion, the internet would've been much better if it stayed as the NSFNet. Everything wrong with the internet is because it's being butchered after slaughter, and the slaughter was allowing a business instead of government entity to control domain naming services.

That's not what net neutrality means, unless you're talking about something else that became synonymous because burgers kept confusing different concepts.
>That puts a lot of undue monetary strain on backbone networks that otherwise charge their clients the bandwidth and data used.
I'm calling bullshit until you show evidence. If customers demant data, they'll get it one way (direct peering at IXPs) or another (via unnecessarily long routes). Unless those longer routes are unbearably slow, in which case the ISP isn't fulfilling its part of the contract with the user.
>The transfer of DNS authority to ICANN happened months before the first net neutrality debate and Obama's or the FCC's mandate to institute net neutrality.

Networking is a fun thing to learn. I was a sysadmin when I was forced to dive in and figure out how to get around things like this.
Ultimately your ISP has a few options for controlling L3 and the easiest is to block tunneling ports. When I supported a large corporation we regularly had to deal with telling remote employees they couldn't access the VPN without some work. Work being either changing their Comcast/Verizon plan to a business plan, because business plans get to request certain things not be blocked. I recall comcast support was useless to even admit anything was blocked until I called the tech number registered with ARIN for the IP we were assigned.
If we couldn't change the plan to business the only other option was give them VPN over a non-traditional port like 21-22,80,443 where they couldn't really justify blocking traffic without violating their own TOS.

I started an isp after trying to get Verizon in 1000s of locations that had no bandwidth. Even when you're the CIO of a $100b startup, you can't get them to break SOP.
Start a WISP, buy business fiber and resell to your neighbors, support a co-op or local isp and ask them to change a policy.
Verizon is likely blocking ports. Change yours to 8181 or 21, or use wireguard (likely nsa) or get an ipsec going.

Satellite often doesn't allow unmetered except for specific places or times of day. You really do need to read the fine print and even then it's a good idea that if you plan to go satellite talk to a real person. Their ToS is often intentionally vague and they make it difficult to find the information on your own so oftentimes you need to actually pressure one of their sales reps to tell you. Sales reps I don't think get the same training as technical support because they will often spill the beans with enough questioning.
Another big thing are speeds. Oftentimes when you look at satellite internet websites and take a look at the speed of their tiers they add an asterisk. This is because 9 days out of 10 you will be getting half or less of both upload and download speed. I don't know to what degree this is bad management practices and how much is just the latency of satellite internet but you really need to know the u/d ratio going into it.

Satellite isn't so bad. You can't play pretty much any online games. No streaming, videos or other large content unless you're unmetered. But I mean other than that it's okay. For some people, it's all you can get. Yes, there are still areas of the country that need satellite. Even worse, there are some areas where the only service is dailup. These are dark times we live in.

I used to play Doom and Quake 1 over dialup. It was fine, so long as you didn't get stuck on a quake server with LPB's. Browsing big, modern Web 2.0 sites would be more painful.
