So a problem I have been having is that any website hosted with Cloudflare.com would not work when using 4G, A quick test to see if you have the same issue:
- Turn off wifi
- restart your phone
- Open Google Chrome
- Type the website cloudflare.com
- If the website loads, you do not have the same issue
- if the website does not load then attempt to visit google.com
- If the website loads it is likely you are affected by the same bug, read below for information about how to fix it.
For the slightly more technical other symptoms, The connection will work with any other format except 4G, 3G, H, Wifi, VPN all work correctly.
