I use the android built in VPN to connect to my home network when away.
Simple, fixed ip at home, open up my settings go to VPN click connect and it should work.
If I'm on a WiFi in a cafe for example the VPN connects no trouble. If I'm using my mobile signal it won't connect.
I was with EE, everything worked fine. I then changed to ID mobile, they believe there is nothing wrong. So the only thing left for me really is perhaps Plusnet are blocking a certain type of mobile IP address?
Any help would be great
Cheers

What type of VPN ?
I would guess its a CGNAT issue https://forums.thinkbroadband.com/mobilebroadband/4690151-cant-connect-with-idmobile-but-can-with-th... .
I've had problems connecting to the office VPN from some mobile networks.

Yup, that will be a CGNAT issue.
Do you have any other VPN options ?

PPTP will struggle with a CGNAT setup which some ( but not all ) mobile providers use, since it requires the GRE protocol to be forwarded.
DD-WRT does seem to support OpenVPN https://wiki.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/OpenVPN , that SHOULDNT have the same issues with CGNAT as it uses SSL.

You think there is any other way do you think? Is there a way to change the mobile IP or someone mad like that?

If its a CGNAT issue then there's nothing you can do about it.
