Description
### Describe the Bug
Pangolin Android: Mobile data connection fails on congstar/Telekom dual-stack, works immediately on Wi-Fi
Description
Pangolin Android is unable to establish the tunnel when using mobile data on the German congstar network (Telekom network).
The same device and Pangolin configuration connects immediately when switching to Wi-Fi.
The mobile connection is configured as IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack. IPv4-only cannot be used with the congstar APN.
The Pangolin control-plane connection appears to work: authentication succeeds and the WebSocket connects. The failure occurs during exit-node resolution / UDP hole punching.
Actual behavior
Pangolin receives IPv6 DNS servers from Android and attempts to use them, but DNS resolution of the Pangolin exit node fails with no route to host.
Relevant log excerpt:
System DNS candidates changed, health-checking:
[[XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:10:74:210:221]:53
[XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:10:74:210:222]:53]
System DNS changed:
[[XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:10:74:210:221]:53
[[XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:10:74:210:222]:53]
Failed to resolve endpoint uranus.pop.pangolin.net:
DNS lookup failed using all upstream servers:
lookup uranus.pop.pangolin.net on [::1]:53:
dial udp [XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:10:74:210:222]:53:
connect: no route to host
No exit nodes available yet, waiting for nodes to be added
The WebSocket itself connects successfully:
Websocket Connected
Pangolin then retries registration repeatedly and eventually reports:
Received olm error message:
code: HOLEPUNCH_MISSING
message: Unable to coordinate client P2P connection.
Please ensure your client can reach the server on UDP port 21820
and try registering again.
Olm error (code: HOLEPUNCH_MISSING):
Unable to coordinate client P2P connection.
Please ensure your client can reach the server on UDP port 21820
and try registering again.
### Environment
Environment
Device: Google Pixel 9 Pro
Android: 17
Pangolin Android / OLM version: 0.4.1
Mobile provider: congstar (Germany / Telekom network)
APN protocol: IPv4/IPv6
Pangolin endpoint: https://app.pangolin.net
### To Reproduce
Disable Wi-Fi.
Connect using congstar mobile data.
Start the Pangolin tunnel.
Pangolin authenticates and connects the WebSocket.
Tunnel registration never completes and eventually fails with HOLEPUNCH_MISSING.
Enable Wi-Fi and connect to a guest Wi-Fi network.
Start Pangolin again.
The connection succeeds immediately.
### Expected Behavior
Pangolin should establish the tunnel over mobile data just as it does over Wi-Fi, or correctly fall back to an available IPv4 path if the IPv6 DNS / UDP path is unavailable.
