Could you elaborate on what you mean by the Cert settings? Is that something to do with the VPN software? Which VPN software did you end up choosing anyway?! I don't remember you saying. :) > However, I can't ping my Home Router's WAN address. if I disable > the hotspot, I can ping it successfully from my Android phone. I've heard of mobile networks faking ping responses for whatever reason. Maybe in hotspot mode it disables that "feature", or enables one that blocks all pings. Either way, I wouldn't trust the mobile network not to be tricking you with regard to pings. Personally my next step would be to temporarily stick some relatively easy-to-configure server of some kind online via the home router. E.g. a web server serving a unique web page, and then try to connect to that via the phone hotspot. That would at least prove whether you can connect to the home router from the Hotspot, which seems to be your aim with pinging it.
