I just switched from Fido to Public Mobile. I have a few game apps that I play and on Fido they were working fine on wifi and data. Since switching these game apps will still work on wifi but not on Public Mobile’s 5G data. The apps think I have a VPN which they don’t permit, but I don’t and wouldn’t even know how to install one. I have VPN turned off in my iPhone settings and also reset my Network Settings but neither worked.
anyone have other ideas as to how to fix as seems like Public Mobile has a built in VPN

figured out how to switch and still same issues with the two apps.

How can I do that?

no hidden VPN here
they are still using IPv4 for external and IPv6 for internal, not sure if some NAT screwed up , but not many people complain about unable to game
but PM does throttle game and streaming, could be the reason. Also, UL is just 10% of your DL speed, not sure if that caused the problem

just a wild guess here...but see if that still occurs using 4G/LTE.
