Oh I am sorry. @Keith Bishop moved to Rogers. I mistakenly thought it was you.
My limited understanding is this. You have the details of the server and you enter it into your app. You have the password to access the server. The route you take to the server is the same, regardless of the ISP. Meaning, your request to get access goes to the cloud, the cloud directs this request to the server. The server sends to response to the cloud which directs it to your app. That is the simplified mechanics of the connection. It technically should not matter if the original request was sent from a laptop, phone, home internet, cellular etc etc. And this connection mechanics is the same for any website as well. Ahh but it obviously does matter. As a side note, the request to connect to the server carries with it other “Meta Data” like the IP address, the browser used, the app used, version of the browser/app etc. The people who control the server set the rules for the server. If the rules obviously restrict access if the server info /address is incorrect, if the password is incorrect. But in this case, the restrictions are based on MetaData. While there is valid reasons to do this (security), there should also be a door available for legit users.
