Certificate authentication to access enterprise Wi-Fi networks is extremely common. Products like ClearPass exist for this exact use case. The “password” for a WiFi network (pre shared key) is an encryption key, not an authentication or authorization method, and is only typically used on small-scale personal networks.

This is completely separate from VPN which allows remote secured access to internal company networks. Certificate authentication to the network provides authentication, authorization, and accounting, as well as robust encryption of the wireless link.

Go to your carrier store and see what they can do. If they put in a new sim card and jt still doesn't work, it means you would have to use an esim and they'd be able to activate it for you. If the esim doesn't work, you'd have to probably get a new phone

This is definitely not right-wing propaganda, where are you getting that?

Seriously, I'm a "terminally online" leftist and I can't imagine an interpretation where "don't install self-signed root CAs to your personal device" is right-wing propaganda. I think you're wrong here, but I'm genuinely curious about how you arrive to this conclusion.

Installing a root CA to your personal device breaks a lot of security assumptions. I assume Apple has carved out an exception for their own updates and app installs, because a root CA would feasibly allow them to "see everything on your phone". As it stands, a root CA only allows them to intercept and modify everything in the network data.

That said, I don't speak German(?) well-enough (or use iPhones enough) to know if this is indeed a self-signed root CA.
