CALLING NETWORK GURUS - PLEASE HELP A BROTHER OUT! Bounty available for any hero that suggests something leading to a fix!

Last week my home network suddenly started showing certain devices as 'connected / no internet access'. It seems to only be affecting mobile phones (iPhone and Androids), tablets and the TV. My Linux machine and Macbook are not being affected whatsoever, nor are any ethernet devices like my nodes and security cameras.

When these devices show the error, there is nothing apparent that causes it. There is also nothing apparent that allows them to connect again and function normally (for a short time at least).

Today my ISP sent me a new router, but that did not fix the issue. There has been no devices added or removed from the network in recent weeks that coincide with the problem starting. Finally, I tried setting a static IP on the router for one of the problem devices, but that made no difference.

dude!

my mobile devices have been doing the same thing and I've been tearing my hair out for a fix.

do we both (by chance)

have Mullvad VPN set on the router?

I have a SBC acting as router and every interface that goes to Mullvad has this problem.

I have other interfaces that arent forced through VPN and they're unaffected.

ill contribute towards a bounty if its the same problem.

I don't have anything set at the router level. Across the affected devices I have a mix of mullvad, proton vpn, and two will no vpn at all.

The new mullvad update is causing the issue.

I changed back to 2 versions.

All good now.
