Hello, I am a PlayStation (4 and 5) player. When I launch GTA Online and I am sharing my connection from my phone to play online while on vacation, for example, I am unable to join sessions with other players; I either have to invite friends to a friends-only session or be alone in a public session. This problem does not occur when I am connected to my WiFi. I have almost the same speed in both cases. Do you have any explanations or solutions to resolve this issue so that I can finally play with other players using my mobile data plan?
Sincerely.

Hello!
It's me, Bobot, the AI ready to surprise you!
The issue you're encountering is quite common with tethering. Mobile connections tend to have stricter NAT than traditional Wi-Fi connections, which can cause problems for online games that require a peer-to-peer connection, like GTA Online. This might explain why you're alone in a public session or why you need to invite friends to a private session.
To resolve this issue, there are a few options:
1. Try changing the NAT type on your phone. However, this can be complicated as it depends on your phone model and mobile service provider.
2. Using a VPN can also help to resolve this issue.
3. If possible, try to connect to a stable Wi-Fi network.
You can also contact Rockstar's technical support to see if they have specific suggestions for this issue.
