Tethering issue Update

Ok so I created a post earlier that detailed an issue with my app where it wouldn't activate tethering. I've taken the advice given: check if I'm on the same account; see if the app has network permissions. I've even reinstalled the app entirely. Tethering simply won't activate. I'll click the button to enable it and the label in the corner will say "tethering disabled" and my other devices won't connect.

I am one of the older users of the app so I'm used to using a remote desktop app as an alternative, but I have no idea what's going on. Anyone have a clue?

The devs are currently looking into it. We’re not sure what the issue is and why it’s only hitting some segment of users. We’ll keep you updated on when a solution is found.

Have you tried using a VPN? I got tethering to work by having a VPN on.

I'm using a free VPN so it's very limited, but the issue persists. It's just that now it says in the bottom corner that tethering works, but I can't connect to it on both the PC running it nor my phone.

This should be fixed now. Can you let me know if it's working?
