Same here. My mobile provider blocks the standard VPN ports, and also access to other DNS servers, so I am pretty sure, their low price means they are selling my data. Going through a VPN on a non-standard port to my home network, from where I can go out through DNS over https and also a pi-hole, and being protected by my own firewall, gives me the (false?) feeling of an additional layer of security.
Wtf kinda mobile service is that?
Cheap MVNO with enough data and good coverage/no outages. The low price comes from somewhere, I guess...
I bought a SIM from lebara mobile when traveling to europe once because it had 10x more data than other companies for the same price and it blocked VPN.
