Unable to tether on lollipop topic

Hi all,

I have been unable to tether since upgrading to lollipop. Web pages simply will not load on connected devices.

I have always been able to tether on kitkat, and upon restoring an old backup running kitkat, I am still able to tether, so the problem is definitely lollipop. I've tried adding net.tethering.noprovisiong=true to build.prop, and editing settings.db to no avail.

Has anyone else had this problem? I'm considering switching back to kitkat since tethering is pretty important for me.

Many thanks,
Jack
