I have an LTE router at home. Since 1 or 2 weeks ago, my android tv can access neither Netflix, not YouTube anymore. The internet browser and everything else works. Is it possible that my ISP tries to cuck me? On my phone it works mysteriously. What else can I do to find out what the problem is?

Hi I am your ISP and I'd just like to confirm that we saw all that weird porn in your search history and decided to bottleneck your connection.
/wsr/
change your dns homosexual. Stop using DNS provided by your isp
No shit guys I can confirm mobile provider frickery/incompetence. I had to use my mobile hot spot for internet for a couple of years and certain things would not route. I can remember specifically I could not get to the Parrot Linux website for some reason but if I used a simple proxy it worked fine.
did you find out a way to detect what's blocked how? Or did it just not work?
I would just run into a website that should be up but I couldn't route to it. I would then test with another method such as proxie or using someone else's internet connection.
Do you have a browser on your android TV where you can test if that works?
That works, and so does everything else on the tv. Downloading apps and shit we never should have brought to a television.
Netflix bans even the vpn I pay for, unfortunately.
I am already using the meme one by Google. I don't think, 8.8.8.8 blocks Netflix.
>I am already using the meme one by Google. I don't think, 8.8.8.8 blocks Netflix.
Definitely not, they have nothing to gain from that, it's not them operating the mobile towers.
Well I guess that's the issue with mobile internet. Usually they only give you like 50 GB of data per month and if it's "unlimited", you get traffic shaping and apparently even blocks.
Ah yeah. So with my vpn, I can access YouTube, without it I can't. What the hell.
What mobile operator is this?
Salt (Switzerland)

Did you set that in the router?
Possibly. Not sure, but when I checked it on the tv, it was already set.
Actually it probably doesn't make any difference.
So yeah at this point it would be good to know if android TV apps use different domains or whatever.
Are you using encrypted DNS on the TV?
I don't think so.
Maybe on your phone the domain querying is encrypted?
Actually, private relay is disabled on my iToddler phone. I could try to capture the dns request with wireshark, but tbh I'm not sure if this makes sense.
Is it possible to set an encrypted DNS server on the router?
Nope, I just checked. The DNS in the DHCP settings of the router is set to 0.0.0.0
They usually don't let you set it. Then when it is also not possible in Android TV I guess you can't set it anywhere.
Spoofing/filtering DNS requests would also be a huge breach of trust imho
Yes
Change DNS
Use VPN
It is weird that it works on the phone (but not on the android TV). Do you have a phone branded by them or some kind of app by them installed on the phone?
Or is the router by them
Also, no.
Nope, but my phones run iToddler OS and GNU+Linux. Maybe they use different ports and/or servers? No idea.
Also, if I connect my tv to a mobile hotspot (different carrier), everything works.

That is a good observation, it proves the TV itself is not broken.
It is just weird how they are able to detect the TV
