This should circumvent any filtering and tethering blocks.

Furthermore, have you tried contacting support to ask if they are blocking tethering or if the problem is on their side?

I tried the VPN on both mobile and laptop - to no avail.
The same VPN worked through virginmobile (on both laptop and mobile), so no doubts about the setup.

APN must have been correct since toggle gave me access to the internet over the phone.

Tethering in general must have equally worked, since some pages (google) opened via tethering on the laptop, even on toggle.

It is as if only some (most) pages + vpn were blocked.

Had it been more than a weekend I would´ve contacted customer support, like this I didn´t have the time. It´d be interesting to know before another potential trip though...

Anyone got that as well?

Same here. They are very erratic with their info-SMSes, and what is written in these SMSes doesn´t always correspond with what they really do.

I maintain: It´s a pitty that Lyca seems to manage the complicated bits in setting up such a great service/idea, but fail miserably at packaging into a really beneficial/reliable offer.
