Google didn't work for me at all in 2011. The VPN I used worked, but then stopped after 2015 ish. I now use free roaming on e.g. t mobile / Google fi / etc which gets around all blocks.

L2TP tunneling works when you use an ip address for the vpn server.

Hmm maybe that'll be worth getting a static IP at home for my next trip, thanks.

It occasionally would drop, but I could simply reconnect.

Why's that? Are you using some commercial VPN service where they're blocking the DNS?
