I am facing a strange issue currently. I'm in a hotel using their WIFI and I'm trying to connect to a VPN.
My Android phone connects to the VPN no problem, either via the hotel WIFI or via 3G.
My MacBook will not connect via to the VPN via the WIFI, but will connect to the VPN if I use my Android phone as a WIFI hotspot over 3G.
I cannot understand how the mobile can connect but the MacBook can't when they're both using the same WIFI! Clearly the MacBook setup is ok as it works over the mobile WIFI hotspot.

I'm on Yosemite 10.10.3 and using an L2TP VPN.

Does anyone have any thoughts on what I can try please?

Thanks
